Break-out Performance Next Weekend

Shuke-D · October 13, 2009

Here's a fun, hopefully harmless exercise to keep us busy this week.

If we win against FAU, suppose it is because some player has heard the call, felt the love, and risen to the occasion (please feel free to insert other sports cliches). Who will it be?

Cam was the guy against Ball State; He shoulda been it against Ohio; I'll say Tune against Alabama cause he wung it out there 23 times without a pick; I'd say Akpunku for Middle Tennessee cause of the pressure he brought (3TFL, 1 sack, and a FF); and no doubt Dunbar for LL.

If we win against FAU? I'll go with Royce Hill cause he is due to take something to the house this time, whether it's an interception or return.

Any other thoughts on who we'll be praising next week?

Or, conversely, if you want: should we lose another heart-breaker in the last seconds again, which poster will have a break-out performance on the boards the next day? Most F-bombs completed? Knee-jerk calls for firing Bataille for a loss? etc.

We will beat FAU...and I'll go with a receiver since the Owls only had two starters return on defense. They shouldn't have jelled enough yet to stop even this dink and dunk offense. I'll say B.J. Lewis steps up and delivers a couple of scores in the win.

We have never beaten a Florida school and I like to think this sets up perfectly to break that trend.

I am with Lonnie: BJ shows us what the Green Gang was raving about in practice.

Royce will represent ST or Defense well (he is already!) by getting a TD: pick 6 or return....or both?!

Nothing but wishful thinking in this thread: I needed it!

Mean Green 93-98 · October 13, 2009

I would like to see Riley break out of his funk. I don't know if I'd call that a prediction, but his performance is more crucial to the team's success than that of any other single player.

Are you sure? We beat FIU in 2005 13-10 and again the next year 25-22.

I stand corrected.

Still, FAU has had our number.

Travis · October 13, 2009

The bigger question is, can we make a long completion? Not one of those dinky passes that break through for long yards... but, a real deep pass? Will this be the day?!

Riley needs to step-up to the plate and deliver a clean game, meaning 0-1 turnovers, or else there should be a nice piece of pine, while Tune or Baine get a chance to run the offense.

I'll go with Craig Robertson. I see a interception, fumble, or blocked kick return for a TD in his future.

As far as blow up if we lose, I'll go with Lifer or Kram. Hey, it has to happen sometime, right?

Schnellenberger's offense will focus on the TE sets alot. There are 5 TE's on FAU's roster, with these 3 that play:

Senior TE Jason Harmon, 6-3, 215, is a highly ranked TE.

Senior Rob Housler, 6-5, 215, (Converse Judson HS)

Senior Jamari Grant, 6-5, 215

Defense- becasue the TE play is a focus of FAU's offense, my break out player for this

game will be Safety DaWaylon Cook.

Offense- The FAU secondary has new starters, and could be FAU's weak point to attack.

My break out player on offfense will be WR Darius Carey.

Oh please!

The entire team needs to have a break-out performance. They have improved to the point where they can stay in the game with most...now they need to figure out how to win and/or how to blow someone out. If they play to their potential, they can do it.

Oh please!

So your happy then with our QB giving the opponent on average 4 turnovers a game. Thanks!!

The benches at fouts are metal.

Break-out performance: Todd Ford.

UNTLifer · October 14, 2009

Are you sure? We beat FIU in 2005 13-10 and again the next year 25-22.

We also hold a 1-0 series advantage over the University of Florida

The playbook has went sailing right over his head this year

He seemed to be on the field for every other offensive play against ULL.

Green P1 · October 14, 2009

Alex Lott. My favorite receiver on the roster.

Fact is...in the discussions pro and con, and it might not make one bit of difference...The playbook is actually 21 years old.

foutsrouts · October 14, 2009

Are you sure? We beat FIU in 2005 13-10 and again the next year 25-22.

We also beat Tampa in '66, and Pensacola Naval Air Station in '59. Hell, with the exception of Schnellenberger, we practically own Florida. :lol: Time for Howard to pay his Mean Green dues!
