We've played a mediocre Texas and failed. We played a horrible smwho and shined. I think we will find out a lot about our offense on Thursday as we play a pretty evenly matched game. I think a win will put us on trajectory for a pretty good season. Thoughts?

Couldn't agree more. We will have to capitalize on offensive opportunities to be able to win this game and to contend for the West Division crown. It will be interesting to see how much La Tech stacks the box against us. I believe Manny Diaz will want to make Greer, or any of the other Qbs, beat them. Our offensive line should have a good test tomorrow on how well they can pick up and stop the blitz.

I watched the LaTech/ULL game and honestly I don't share the sentiment that this game will be evenly matched. I really do think we're going to run away with this one. Greer will be relaxed and making better throws, but our defense will once again shine beyond the rest. They're the real deal.

That's the feeling I get from watching that game (assuming we don't have a bunch of turnovers). It's available to be replayed on ESPN3. I do expect to see LT run a lot of blitzes and stunts against us especially in passing downs.

You're correct in that it will be telling, but offensively we didn't quite shine against smuT.

We had:

- 11 play, 52 yd FG drive.

- 4 drives of less than 30 yds, ending in FGs.

- TD in last few minutes on a long play.

Greer was better, but we need him to improve even more this week.

If our ground game gets stuffed, we're going to be in trouble.

Agreed, I think we faired okay against SMU... hopefully we are just slowly watching the offense grow throughout the season

As long as we can sustain drives to at least our opponents 33 yd line we should get points on the board every time.

I was going to post that this may depend on the wind, but it looks like the forecast now only has 5-10 mph winds projected.

I couldn't agree more. I am eagerly awaiting the game but nervous about the game plan. Hopefully Mac will be aggresive.

I thought I read somewhere that their defense is below average, is this not the case? I haven’t seen any of their games this year so I am oblivious to what they have.

I wouldnt say they are below average. They are decent. They have a very good secondary. Got a good LB in Tony Johnson. DL is average not great at pass rushing.

They have faced 2 far superior offenses then we have faced in ULL and Oklahoma. So we will be the worst offense they have faced. Im sure they are feeling pretty confident in their D's ability to stop our O

We got an avg UT and a horrible SMU

Well hopefully, the O Line can just lean on them and tire them out

O-Line needs to run block and pick up blitzes. I rewatched SMU game and Darius Terrill, Darwin Kidsy, and Carlos Harris just need to get the ball cleanly thrown to pull their defense out of eight in the box. Greer is improving, this was only his second D-1 game. Our experienced O Line just needs to be as advertised and give our backs' a crease and they will do the rest.

Gotta put the young backs that can get the edge. Pegram and Jimmy don't have the wheels to get the edge consistently. I hope if Greer struggles they put in Dajon. Lil Mac is just not different enough from Greer to give defenses a different look.

I agree with pretty much all of you. The one thing I have to add is points off of turnovers...we need to get them and not give them. As long as that's the case, we will win this.

To answer the question, yes. Though I'm optimistic because Greer made good progress and looked more in command. Yes the smu defense was in disarray but I think we can move the ball against LT too. I am glad our team is not traveling for the short week. I wish I could make it back down but can't do 2 thousand-mile round trips in a short week. In 30 years of being a Mean Green fan that game Saturday was absolutely one of the BEST experiences I have had as a fan and I am very thankful and proud. So many things are going right. I think the coaches can figure out how to win this game and the players will do a great job executing it. I was really encouraged by our kicker Mr. Moore's success. That guy knows what he is doing; that's going to make a difference especially with the defense playing so well. Onward and upward. Go Mean Green!

We found out a lot about the offense, its horrible and also Coaching prep for game = non-existence

They lost the team in the 2nd Q and never got them back.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
