aTm is 4th nationally in rush defense and 1st in the sec. Here's the totals this year...
Clemson 115 on 30 carries.
Bama 109 on 28 carries
Ark 55 on 26 carries
Kentucky 70 on 30 carries
South Carolina 76 on 18 carries
For reference, Kentucky got 229 on 47 carries vs us.
How in the world will we move the ball?
It's going to be extremely difficult. Got two teams on completely different trajectories. We will see how mentally tough this team is. It is going to be very hard for the defense to keep showing up the further into the season we get if the offense isn't showing improvement.Quote:

With our hands down our pants? Cause that's the only ball we moving.
We don't and we lose by a couple TD's. If the line is still MSU -3 mortgage the house
Run Nick up the middle for 3 plays, then punt.
Why the Hell are we not giving the ball to the RB's ?
Run the read option the entire game. Only passes should be screens and maybe a couple of super deep bombs. No more than 10 pass attempts the whole game. Let our defense try to win the game without making any turnovers like the old LSU teams.
Give Thompson a shot at QB to see what he can do. If he can't cut it, pull Mayden's redshirt year and give him a try. Shrader is coming in next year, anyway.
Give KT a shot
THis guy gets it. More fans should listen to Cooter.Quote:

easy....after 3 ineffective plays we will move it 30 yards downfield with one of our trademark punts!
Based on our prior SEC games' offensive output this year. It would need to be for our defense to get a pick 6 or two.

No one knows. Fitz 23 carries, all other players on the team 14.Quote:

I want Fitz with 6-8 designed QB runs, another 6-8 breakdown scramble runs. All other running plays I want an equal mix between Aeris and Hill.
In a positive direction I hope!

The only way the ball is going to get moved for us this weekend is when the ref picks it up and spots back for a 5 yard false start penalty, or when the back judge throws it back to the line of scrimmage after an incomplete pass.
Get ready for a 4 game losing streak boys cause its about to happen.
And after a spring and fall in this offense he couldn't give Fitz a run for his money.Quote:

KT is a good responder in a sense of the OM game when he got pushed around at first but then almost led us to the win. There’s nothing we’ve seen from KT that wouldn’t make me want him in there. Both QB’s could have righted the ship first game probably or be the weapons - considering how this season has gone. Hindsight 20/20 tho

I agree give it to KT and see what happens. KT has a good arm, but I have noticed in the past that he sometimes has accuracy problems. Maybe he has it straightened out now, hopefully.Quote:

Also, if we are going to keep 17n up on offense, I would rather just run Moorheads offense pushing the ball down field, as long as he mixes in a few running plays here and there.
We are going to need a lot of targeting and multiple unsportsmanlike like conduct penalties on the same play.
Got 45 against LSU then threw an interceptionQuote:
