I'm going to focus on offense because I feel good about the defense either dominating or keeping us in the game.

If we start the game running the ball and getting those 4-6 yards runs from the A-Train and Fitz, its gonna be a long, long day for Jawjah.

Mullen needs to ease Fitz into the game like he did against LSU and not like he did against La Tech.

We cannot DROP PASSES like we did in the first two games.

Our punter should be able to help us win the field position game.

Lastly, we have the veteran QB and we need to lean on him to win this game.

Unless our Defense has a total meltdown, I think we can hold them to 2 TDs or less. They may get one long bomb, but I just cannot see them having a big pass day with our rush and their QB. We just have to be patient and smart on offense. They have a recent history of melting down if the mojo swings against them and they are not geared to mount a big comeback.

Make each offensive possession count for points or field position.

Still going with a 38 - 13 win and sniffing the rarified air in the polls the following week.

I agree with that assessment. Loved the first offensive play call last week against LSU to get Fitz into the flow of the game early with a nice run. I think that's what you have to do with him to chill his nerves out. He gets hyped early and throws sail on him but once he gets into the flow of the game he can be almost flawless.
