Egg Bowl Prediction Thread-Is Lane Singing Garth or Dixie on Saturday Night?
Well Egg Bowl Week has arrived and Lane has definitely made this one FAR MORE intriguing with his will he/won't he dance he seems to do every 2 years. I don't have a great feeling about this one, but then again I have not had a great feeling about the last 2 Egg Bowls and we've lost by a combined 22 points, which wouldn't have even covered last year's line. There's a window for us to win this one, albeit a small one. We have to get going early, i.e. scoring a TD on the first drive, and Kamario has to be HEAVILY involved in the game plan. I've heard some things this week that make me believe we may go Blake for the first series and then Kamario the rest of the way. Which, honestly, is not the worst idea. We've been very good with Blake on the first drive with how scripted it is. It's the other drives that seems to give us issues. I think Kamario gives us the best chance to win. Whoever it is, we're going to have to protect them and give the deep shots time to develop. Thompson and Evans could go wild on their secondary if given time. Their secondary is leaky at best. It's honestly really bad and is susceptible to the deep ball.
On Defense, it's all about stopping Lacy. We have been putrid against the run in conference play, outside of the TX game. That's a definite concern and something that Hutzler is going to have to figure out. I think the easiest thing is just do the exact opposite of what we did last year. Last year we dared them to run, this year we may need to dare them to pass. Chambliss doesn't make a ton of mistakes, but he's gotten away with 5-6 throws this year that could've changed the course of their season. You have to capitalize on those.
On Special teams, just don't 17 up. I don't think I'm asking that much, but lately that's been a big ask for our ST.
I have a bad feeling I'll be dead wrong, but 31-27 DAWGS.
Kamario TDs-3
Thompson and Evans Combined Yds-215
Amount of Fingers flipping off Lane Kiffin at the end of the game-110K
PS: If you have tickets....SHOW UP. We need everyone there if they are going to try and take over the stadium.
