Last Minute Thoughts Vs UAB

AustinFromUNT · September 23, 2017

Here are a few of my last minute thoughts about today’s game against UAB:

WE HAVE TO BE BETTER AT FINISHING DRIVES. Whether that means better play calling from GH, O-Line keeping up run blocking/pass coverage, Mason diming the deep ball, or Jeff getting a second wind on the run, remains to be seen. It has to be done though.

WE NEED TO GET STOPS ON 3rd & LONG. We have been okay to good on 1st and 2nd down leaving opponents in 3rd & long (5 or more yards) and we haven’t been able to stop nearly enough of those.

WE HAVE HAD A HARD SCHEDULE SO FAR. Lamar was a good game against an FCS Opponent so a blowout is to be expected. SMU appears to be a serious contender in the AAC this year rolling with #16 TCU for a while. Iowa plays #4 Penn State tonight. Also Iowa has been receiving AP Top 25 votes since the beginning of the season, so I’m going to call them a difficult team.

FINALLY ANOTHER HOME GAME. It feels like the Lamar game was forever ago (partially due to this biochem class having it’s way with me so far this semester SOS), but it’s because we have had 2 road games in a row. Will be interesting to see how many people show up with it being Parent’s Weekend but also still hot.

WE HAVE A CHANCE TO START CONFERENCE PLAY 1-0. We get a middle of C-USA team at home to open conference. If we are going to make a run at bowl eligibility or a conference title, a win today would mean a lot.

THE GUYS ARE BUSTING THEIR BUTTS. I am friends with several of the guys on the team, and I know how hard they have been working everyday. They want to win more than any person on this board does, I can guarantee you that.

OUR SOPHOMORES ARE REALLY GOOD. Look at who some of our best players are: Mason is a sophomore, JG is a sophomore, Khairi is a sophomore, Bryce is a sophomore.

ITS TIME FOR THE HAMMER. We had to be nice against Lamar 3 weeks ago because of Harvey and they’re an FCS team. Now though, we’re playing a conference mate. It’s time to show them how we put the Mean in Mean Green.

Yes sir! I would also add Convert on 3rd downs

Our defensive line better wreck shop today. I was so impressed how they played for 3 quarters against the "big boys". Exceptional play by them will help hide our LB weakness.
