Exactly. Those of you who are predicting we go in and just manhandle them from the start don't live in reality. This game will be tough. Yes, we may end up winning by double digits, but to do that, we must weather the early storm, because those 17'ers are gonna be pumped. They would love nothing better at this point than to ruin our season, and that's exactly what it would do. That's all the motivation they need. If we come out like we did against Bama we're gonna have trouble. I want to see a killer instinct.

I do think, however, if we can go in, and take the crowd out of it early, take maybe a 10pt lead into halftime, if we extend that lead in the early 3rd, their fans will file out to go "win the party" on the dead grass and bare dirt that is the beautiful grove.
