[TrapGame]

Per Rosie, the team spent all of one day last week preparing for ETSU. The other days they spent prepping for OM. The team was looking at film Saturday night as well.

I hope is shows Thursday night.

[msstate7]

Excellent use of time.

Watching OM's game Saturday much, makes me wonder if they did the same haha

[Maroonthirteen]

Defensively what do you do in this game to slow their rush?

Can we go to a 3-4-4 often or occasionally? Add an LB to slow their rush and challenge man to man in the secondary? Blitz them if they mix up to pass on first down.

Or do stay 3-3-5 and you spy Dart with a DB?

[msstate7]

Gonna have to bring safeties up, and hope they miss on the long shots

[BuckyIsAB****]

The biggest problems they will give us is perimeter screens and motion. Thats what hurt us last year. They wont do much between the tackles. If it was me I would absolutely tweak coverage to have the Dog safety on the QB on 3rd downs. They will go fast and probably crack block a lot to get to the edge

[msstate7]

How does their field drain? Rain may hurt our offense, but could help our defense

Hopefully better than Lake Swayze

[Santiago]

Wheat and Crumedy need to dominate.
Need Duncan and Preston having a game.

[coachnorm]

Did they practice something to replace swing passes and check downs? Practice swing passes and check downs 25 hours a day 8 days a week and we still get our asses blistered?

Yeah, I mean Leach doesn't game plan. So I guess it was the defense game planning for Ole Miss.

[Santiago]

I like the play we ran Saturday, of faking handoff to RB and he slips through the line and past LB for an open pass play.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I think our key on defense would be selling out to stopping the run and have Dart try to beat us with his arm. I really don?t think we need to blitz much if at all because blitzing would open up running lanes.

Yep. Dart will eat our lunch on blitzes. Stop the run and make Dart throw.

If he can beat us with his arm then it just wasnt our day.

[TrapGame]

I'd love for Forbes to get a couple of picks off Dart.

[Churchill]

I hope we have prepared to de-cleat Heath

[TrapGame]

I hope we have prepared to de-cleat Heath

Are we taking targeting bets?

[GoDawgz]

I hope we have prepared to de-cleat Heath

Over/under on how fast Heath is a part of an "Unsportsmanlike Conduct" call? 1st qtr, 2nd qtr.....

[Lord McBuckethead]

2nd Quarter.

[LC Dawg]

Anyone think there's a chance the SEC reviews the Reese punch from Saturday and suspends him?

[Cooterpoot]

40% chance of rain

[msstate7]

40% chance of rain

That's game time though, right? Looks like rain in the afternoon

[confucius say]

It's 60% at game time and will rain before that.

[somebodyshotmypaw]

Anyone think there's a chance the SEC reviews the Reese punch from Saturday and suspends him?

I don't think they will. It's 100% clear that he did throw a punch. However, it appeared he threw a punch at the ball to dislodge it, not at the player. Of course you could ask why he was trying to dislodge the ball at all since the play was over and the whistle had blown. I don't see a real issue other than a player being a jackass. I don't think he was trying to fight. And if we suspended players for acting like jackasses, there would be some thin rosters in college football on game day.

[Dawgology]

7-8 in the box and pressure Dart. Make his beat us through the air. They will connect on some long bombs but they won?t be able to win with only that.

My big question is how do we get our offense to score?

LOL! Their defense isn't that good. Those first few games padded some stats. Their D is about like Arkansas' or A&M's.

[PikeDawg15]

Please Lord do not let it rain. Just postpone it until 5 minutes after the game is over. Please

[Jarius]

Our problem is the game is on the road. Hopefully we can take advantage of a weak defense on the road and not look like we did against Kentucky.

[Desoto1967]

Did that TCU win keep State from having a chance at a trip to Orlando?

[Percho]

Did they practice something to replace swing passes and check downs? Practice swing passes and check downs 25 hours a day 8 days a week and we still get our asses blistered?

Not if we get 3.5 per swing score TD's at the end and use a lot of clock.

Throw this game out as a road game. This is a rivalry game.

[Goldendawg]

I hope Leach has them ready. Several times recently, home or away, it looked like they wanted it more than us, even when they took the field with Dan & Leach.

[KOdawg1]

Yeah but Arkansas and A&M were at home and this is on the road, where our offensive hasn't functioned. Add in the rain, and the concerns about our offense are valid

That's what I was thinking when I read your first paragraph. Connecting on a few bombs may be all they need.

[TrapGame]

Now add in it's gonna break that Lane is moving on Thursday afternoon. Dart ain't killing himself when he's going to play for Lane at AU. Neither is Judkins.

Lane is going to call a mediocre game. His mind will be on moving to Auburn. Shit, he may be doing Leach a solid Thursday night on the down low.

[Jarius]

That doesn’t prevent false starts and crowd noise effectiveness on our OL not being able to communicate. I hope we beat their ass to death but I can’t ignore what we have looked like on the road as an offense.

[TrapGame]

I'm willing to bet that's not the case Thursday night.

[coachnorm]

We are going into game 12 and the data points indicate a totally opposite scenario to this statement. Swing passes and check downs have been catastrophic this season. Do you believe that doing the same thing in game 12 will net something different from the previous 11 games?

[Reunion Dog]

17 Rosebud. Send his goofy looking ass to Auburn for good.

[Desoto1967]

Well listening to his podcast, Rosebud said Keenum is stressing how much he is expecting a win this week.

Yea we've been bad on the road.
I'm just hoping for a subdued, nervous, wet crowd on Thursday. Plus their stadium isn't as hostile or loud as KY, LSU, or Bama. We'll see.

It sure wasn’t when Fitz was doing 50 yard sprints ......and fins down.....but I guess like any law school...they got their revenge....
