I think we'll score more than 31 points (more like 40+), but the real question is how the defense will do against the Bulldogs.

This game will be won or lost by our defense....

forgetting about special teams?   LATECH is saying their ST are not very good either.  I hope our ST does not change that fact.

Good point.  We cant allow the opposition to score as much as ODU did on special team plays.

I am most concerned for kickoffs after each of our scores.  If we give up a run back for a touchdown after every score, we gain nothing and our defense never gets a breather. 

I'm also worried about a middle screen on LA Tech's first play/first drive of the game. 

I'm just generally worried.

Beat 'em.

If we give up a run back for a touchdown after every score, the defense doesn't need a breather because they are never on the field :-).

Actually, our defense would never have to take the field if ST gave up a touchdown with every kick off.

It's a great strategy.  Let's do it every time in the first half when we score.  Take a 10 play drive, score a TD.  Kick-off and let them return it for a TD.  10 play drive, and score a TD........  Their O never gets on the field and established any pace....Our defense never gets on the field.  Their defense has 50 - 60 plays on them by half-time........then we steam roll them in the second half.....That is one way of beating them....

Don’t underestimate our ability to fumble or throw picks.
