Do I think KT plays more this week than previous weeks? 100% I do. He has experience now and we had almost 2 weeks to get prepared to play this game. I wholeheartedly believe that we will have a good offensive gameplan and play pretty well on that side of the ball depending how healthy we are on the OL. But to think that Lebby is about to bench the guy he believes gives us the best chance to win on Friday? **** no he is not doing that. That's not how coaches do things and thats not how teams work.
We will score points. We got worked by Mizzou in the trenches badly and still scored 27 points. The extra time by each defensive coach plus the emotion of the game will be a huge factor tho. My biggest concern? How does Hutzler find a way to slow their running game when we dont have the Jimmies and Joes to do it? U can scheme a little early on to give them fits and slow them down early. How will we fare once they have adjusted to our gameplan. That will decide the game
I'll be there watching, cheering, and hoping. HailState
