You’ve all made very valid points and literally nailed it on the head. Bama couldn’t run up the gut last night and neither could we. Our pass game will have to be point in order to open up the run game against those big boys! You’ve all called it with what we should be running on O, I just hope Chaney and Smart see it the same way. There is absolutely NO way we beat them trying to run first!
If our O is producing you can bet our D will do their job. One thing that’s being over looked by most talking heads is the fact that they are coming in after a very physical game and will be a bit beat up. Most of our starters were resting on the sidelines in the 4th quarter Sat. Fresh legs and bodies will go a long ways in this game, advantage us!
Another advantage we have is we know we have to adjust to beat them, there game plan should be exactly the same as it was 3 weeks ago, advantage us! Make them make game time adjustments, that’s easier said than done at this level, advantage us!
One last thing, we came in jacked up and it showed in that first half and besides that first drive we never have any momentum. The boys won’t be over playing in this game, they learned that lesson. Also, we should have home field advantage as far as numbers in fans go. That will be BIG in this game and Fromm will be able to check out of plays at will, advantage us! It’s not going to be the same game as three weeks ago and I say that with confidence! That loss hurt but it was a blessing in disguise. I’m glad it happened then and against Auburn so we can learn and adjust and hopefully avoid a loss this time around.
