UT may win this one on D alone. well if they had a gameday coach but he happens to be on the other team. amazing under weis ND has already broken the yearly receiving yards record, tds in a game by QB and WR & also QB TDs in a season with a handful of games still remaining. quinn is gonna shatter some records and get deserving votes for the heisman. with that said I still think UT slows down this O. their front 7 is pretty amazing. they actually outclassed bama by a good bit but choked it away similarly to how we did to them. only only one team, LSU, made UT look outclassed at times and ND is undersized bigtime on defense. Riggs' backup looked better than him anyhow. he was much overhyped imo. i look for a close game and UT coming out on top in the big upset. im trying to look past phat phil and believe a team with revenge and the studs in the trenches play the spoiler.
Well c'mon...We have 3 freshmen on the O-line. I actually expected that. It wasn't like it was a big suprise that they would have some pressure on Brodie. Our young line has played well though. Oh and I hope you guys do bring 7 or 8. That will leave some pretty good match-ups in single coverage. If Brodie can just calm down and get him some...He'll stop over-throwing recievers and drop in into thier hands--for TD's! ROLL TIDE!
jeez. testy. ok, NO o is a bit strong. their o will try to be efficient and control the clock. i think this strategy is tailor-made for a UT team with a poor o and great d. ut (even sans riggs and allen) has a decent shot at winning. im just curious to see if the sec and or ut gets credit if they beat und or will excuses be made.
Would definately be good for the SEC to have a .500 Tenn. team beat N.D. But i dont think it will happen since it is being played in South Bend. ND 24 Tenn 10. How in the heck did that clown Clausen beat us. He cant complete a pass longer than 8 yards. I went back and watched the Tenn. game again and i get all frustrated all over again.
Thats exactly how he beat us. Do you remember, our corners would play 10-12 yards off the line of scrimmage and just give him them short routes.
Come on guys where is that SEC pride? I hate Tenn and Fat Fill more than anybody but I hope they kick ND in the A**. If Tenn does not beat ND I have to shut my mouth about how good the SEC is. I hate to say that but it is true. But if Tenn wins I will write every ESPN a**h*** I can find !!!! Go Fat Fill!!
We are the only team in the conference that can match up with your receivers that way. We are not scared of man-to-man coverage. With a depleted receiving corps and a (comparatively) weak offensive line, you are the one that should be scared.
