Got a fair amount of aTm friends, and they are not at all like Gene and/or Rosebowl. Telling me they're having some serious issues keeping their LB's healthy...and on the field. Believe even WE can have some success running the ball if we keep at it. Said LB's screw up their gaps all the time, and if the DL doesn't get a TFL, it's off to the races. Also told me, when Mack is in the game, better guess correctly on which gap he's taking...cause it's getting FILLED - already the strongest player on the aTm team. They may be right about running the ball, but MAN...I'm skeptical as hell, even against their D?!? If we do run the ball, we better freakin' run it straight at MG/behind Tunsil.
They're hoping we continue to struggle with the crossing routes. Feel that's the only way they can consistently move the ball. Having some serious issues keeping their QB upright, so any downfield patterns are risky with a banged up QB. If the 1st sting QB goes down, the freshman is NOT ready - locks in on primary receiver almost every play.
There you have it. Warts for both teams. My opinion - turnovers. If we can force some, I think we win. If we don't, I feel like I'm going to be very disappointed...AGAIN.
