We have got to cover the OM WR's tight. They will catch some balls because its what they do. Where we have to excel is being there as soon as the ball arrives. Secondly, we've got to do a great job in open field tackles. We can do this if our DL and safeties can get a hard rush and contain Ta-moo, plus control their running game. That is what the better defenses did to limit them. Ta-moo panics pretty easily under pressure.

if the pass rush plays well, everything else will take care of itself.

I’ll be interested to see Rivers tomorrow. I’m assuming he’ll be primarily going up against Little. Be good to see him hold his own.

What game did you see our DBs covering any WRs tight? We have to get a pass rush because their receivers will be running free all day.

In games om wins, wr's score on big plays. In games om loses, wr's have big plays, but fail to get into the end zone and the offense boggs down in the red zone. It's that simple. If you give up the big play, don't let them score and make them earn it against a compressed defense.

I expect a lot of the Fla game plan. Getting the ball out quick to the wr's and let them get 6-12 yards a pop. We need to jam them at the los, imo.

Our offensive guys also need to avoid the forearm hammer tackles to the ankles. OM is the only school I've ever seen that uses that tackling method.

If we can hold Tua + Alabama to 24pts, then I am not particularly worried about the 'great value' hawaiian Mississippi is gonna utilize.
