We'll run on Miami...

[Dugout DickStone]

We are so slow compared to Miami it's almost a joke.

I say we use that speed against them.

YES. OVERPURSUIT

They will get to the spot they think we will be in before we are even close to there, causing them to fall over in :shockhorrorsurprise: :wherethehellistheballcarrier?: :imean,heshouldberightfuckinghere: as we meander lucidly over the fallen bodies to the endzone.

[Dugout DickStone]

Move to secret strategy room.  Don't want Miami lurkers.

200 yds out of our backs would be a decent day, 300 w/ Klein added in would probably keep us in the game.  Unless we have like 50 passing yds.

Yeah, I meant 200 with Klein added in probably won't be enough.

[jtksu]

Yeah, I was just expounding on your theme a bit.

to what extent, I don't know.  But we will be successful running the ball on these guys.  I have a lot of confidence this will happen.

So as long as our rushing yard total is in the +, your prediction is correct.

No, I think we may very well go over 200 yards rushing on them.

I would slaughter my very finest meatgoat for this to occur.

Would rather you sacrifice that meatgoat for Ellis. 

[Dugout DickStone]

Do I look like I'm made of meatgoats?!

I just assumed.....

Wow....awkward.

[Dugout DickStone]

No, it's cool.  I have a handsome herd of mgs but I have a hard time saying goodbye.

Pretty much has to be a 1aD player.

[deputy dawg]

Could you sacrifice a lesser meatgoat for the Miami game, and save the prime specimen for the Texas game?  I don't want to jeopardize our chances by messing with ritual or anything, but just thinking that saving the best meatgoat for an important confy game could pay off in the long run.

[Dugout DickStone]

I will meet with my head mg Vaquero and discuss some herd management.  He may not like this plan though.

  at sacrificing anything for a Texas game.  lol

Obvious sock or squawk.

slower?  Yes.  We're definitely slower at a number of positions but not everywhere.

But I think EVERYBODY on this board knows that.

Fortunately it's not the only thing that matters.  If that were the case Navy wouldn't have scared the hell out of So. Carolina.  We're good enough to be in this game with a chance to win it.  We need to play well and we're capable of doing that. 

[wetwillie]

Manhatter,

Would you say that our primary attack will be between the tackles to try to minimize the damage their speed can do?  Using Brown and Pease to bruise up inside seems a hell of alot more likely than trying to use any of our backs to take the perimeter.  Could we maybe see some designed draws for Klein?

I'm not sure how Snyder will attack it.  I'm sure he's been working on it all off-season knowing that they would have many of the same faces returning on defense.  He gets creative in games like this with his run game.  The typical football fan sees a QB option and thinks there is no difference but it's more about the blocking schemes up front and who does what.

So we play crap offense against EKU, not a whole lot better offense against Kent, and now, we'll run all over a defense that our star defensive player couldn't even see time for?  Mmmkay.

you don't watch much football eh?  Last year Nebraska ran the ball very pedestrian vs. an FCS team ranked around 100 in South Dakota State and then ran the ball all over Mizzou, Okie State, etc.

Ohio State couldn't run the ball that well on Toledo at home the week before Miami and ran it fine vs. the Canes.

Schemes, execution, intensity, playbook all change week to week.

This is why one team runs for 400 one week vs. what was considered to be a stout opponent and then lays an egg the following week.  It's commonplace in college football.

Some of our fans are WAY too fixated on that Eastern Kentucky game.

Hatter, did you see my mini-meltdown after EKU? Not sure why you didn't calm me down. Took 10-7 pretty hard.

That game was traumatic, but the OL is what worries me the most.

And they should have beat Maryland but they had one too many fumbles.

okay.  good for them.

we would have gotten spanked by Maryland.

sometimes you need to find a more level-headed approach to things on your own time.  experiences.  there are repeats for most teams nearly every season.  Highs and lows.  ride the tide out.
