With the way our games have gone this year, I'm pretty happy with where we are. It could be a lot worse. If the D can have their typical second half, we should be in good shape.

With how fast they are. We need to be doing stretch runs like crazy. Not dives in the middle like manning loves.
Actually it makes some sense to run directly at them - going side to side is where they're speed is really going to show. What we need to do is misdirection, keep hitting the RPO's and mix in some of the other stuff - maybe a screen or draw etc...

Side to side is getting into a foot race - most of our guys will lose head to head against Clemson's defenders in a pure foo race

Probably. If so, I’d be ticked if I were him.

Knowing Manning, he’ll probably give Sanders one carry this half and burn his RS too.

They said sanders is out with injury. But I didn’t hear that from anywhere other than the worldwide leader

Cracks me up how worked up some people are during this game. Just get drunk and enjoy the night!!!

That might not work as well as you think - some people are angry/belligerent drunks, so that would just exacerbate the problem.

As for me, I'm a sleepy drunk, so I'd miss the second half.

Strategery! Thousand points of light upcoming!
Sadly part of me feels that is how Manning spells it lol....


But in serious, you don't try to run outside of a team that is faster than you. Counters, mis-direction, etc. that's how you let their speed count against them. Asking them to run side to side is like asking a sprinter if they want to race. It works alright in moderation but you aren't going to be able to do it consistently

Kind of like the Cubs old tv producer Arnie Harris back in the day. Always would show the hot chicks in the stands.
Or ... Musburger - who somehow spent more time oogling the girl friends and fiance's of whoever was playing QB for Alabama than calling the game
