No way we hold them to only 23. 

Why not?  Teams haven't just pounded the ball down our throats this season.  The big gains in rushing early on came from scrambles or missed assignments.  Those got corrected.

Really hoping the assignment part is the best it's ever been for this week. Only way to stop a triple option is sound gap integrity and tackling

If this staff has proven anything, it is that they will get mistakes corrected and rather quickly especially on the Defensive side of the ball.  If we can get a few stops early and the offense can score once or twice I think we can get them uncomfortable and try to force stuff.  I really, really like our chances.

This is the key to the game. Do this and I love our chances. Don't do this and I hate our chances. Getting a run based team behind the 8ball on the scoreboard early is the best way and quickest way to put them to bed early.

I know the triple option is something completely different than we've seen all season... but we are actually fairly stout against the run. I actually thought we'd pull this one out as well... This is all contingent on our offense executing... we can't have our defense on the field for most of the game as in several prior games..

This will be a tough game but maybe Vito is feeling guilty for picking Marshall two weeks ago?

If you look back at the poll on the chances of us winning that game, you'll see a LOT of us picked Marshall to at least likely win!

That was my thought.

If we win, it will be close and it will be in the 30s.

I also think they could potentially open this up into a 40+ point horse race, and I am not confident we could keep up.

Score on our opening drive! GMG

If Hood can step this game it will be a big help with his big body clogging the middle,  After last season I gave up on the Mean Green and had no expectations going into this season.   Now they have been thinking we can win again!  Hold on Lucy is holding the football for me to kick, be back in a second,

Just for this one game, I would have considered playing buyers at corner.  This is going to be a very different type of game for our corners and they are going to have to get dirty.  

I think you can say the same for our receiving corps though. They're going to have to be physical. I like the corners we have and I don't think it's worth the risk of having Buyers play a position he hasn't played since, what, 2014? I say keep him where he's at.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      Some of you think these professional athletes have to go to classes?

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?
