So, where was Grantham?

So, again......100% on the coaches and 0% on the players????

a poorly coached player would change the call......blame lies with the coach.....

Not sure if anyone else saw, but yesterday on CSS; they had CMR on and they were breaking down the game (can't remember the name of show). But a question came up about the D performance. And CMR said they were trying out a few different player combos and that when the "normal" starters were in the game, UB never got a first down. Not sure if I'm reading too much into it or not, but maybe they were just trying to throw mizzwho off. But I myself didn't think that the D looked up to par. But after hearing that it made me feel alittle better. Just a thought........

fire_dawg, I had someone that I have complete and total trust in that is close to the team tell me the same thing.

Soon we will see. Do know that the offensive line had a real hard time with our first unit defense prior to the season. That was in print and all of us read about JJ and the boys "teaching" this young offensive line a "thing or two". Soon we will know a lot more about this group of young men. Hope all is well for you on the home front.

I don't know whether to feel good or bad with that comment, Buc! D wins championships, hope we can score on better Ds than Buffalo. O line is still concern going into Missou.

Lots of truth in your statements TN Dawg. From what I have read concerning both teams in the upcoming game . . . . both sides seem to have some issues in the offensive line play. Have a feeling it will come down to the players "will to play" and play for four quarters. Really hope that the refs let the teams get after it.

Have watched some film on Franklin, young man has a tendency to run to the right, which is not unusual for a right hander. Can't give Franklin 4 or 5 seconds with the ball in his hands.

First real test of the season and playing at night in a stadium full of fans that won't make us feel welcome. Again, let the teams play, keep the cloth in your pockets, allow the best team to win.

TN D and Buc......just talked with a trusted friend as well, he made two comments, one good, one not so good. Theus is questionable and his backup, Danzler is in a boot as well. OL not real good. On a better note, one media guy that follows UGA made a comment before the game that Buffalo's interior OL was going to be better than Mizzou's. Guess we'll see.
