Everybody has a plan... until Seastrunk takes one 85 yards...
Been thinking of a plan; not easy to do. Here is what I came up with:
1. Offense game plan is obvious; pound run and eat clock. I worry about the beating on SAMs, becsuse bu knows this is our only option. Hopefully Hubert and Robinson (one can hope) also get some carries. Would like to see Robinson run the wildcat a few times just to give SAMs a breather. Point being, we have to strap big boy pants on and ten-yard fight it down the field; slowly. I do think we have the ability to run on bu somewhat.
2. Defense is harder. First, I think we need to use all of our to's on defense. For the first three drives bu has, we should call to after their first first down. Second, I actually think we have to gamble that briles and petty get impatient. I think the only real chance we have to stop them is if we are playing the pass and they pass anyway. We could load the box and still not even stop seastrunk. This is pettys first road game and they are used to scoring real fast; it is possible he presses a little bit and gives us an opportunity. I want a defense that is designed to take advantage of bad throws and just pray bu not content to run seastrunk down the field.
3. Special tesms; I think a surprise onside kick would be a risk worth taking. We are big dogs anyway. Plus, the potency of the bu offense mesns that the ußusl rules regarding field position aren't as applicable; if we could steal an extra possession that would help. Plus, they did it to us last year and won....which obviously means if we do it we will win, too
