    X-Man has some serious wheels on him. Once he caught the ball and turned past the first defender I knew we had a TD because there was nobody in that stadium other than Bennie Brazell that could keep up with him.

    I agree that special teams will play a major factor in the game, but I respectfully disagree with you on saying that Skyler's play on ST is going to "be a must for us to beat GA". I only say it that way because with Skyler's injury, I really don't want him cutting too much on returns. I want him healthy for the rest of the season--we're going to need him down the road. With Shyrone Carey back from his suspension, I'm perfectly confident with SC returning kicks. He's just as ellusive as Skyler...not as fast, but pretty close to being as quick.

    XC has a high gear that the State defensive backs just don't have. They definitely had the angles on him and he was in a flat run already, but he just instantly accelerated into the open field.

    X-Coach John Brady? Oh, just wishful thinking.

    Lets all hope that X dosen't have the injury problems that have plagued Stallworth ever since he got to the NFL.

    Of course you want Sky back for such a big game, but I feel pretty good about having Shy Carey back.

    The over/under on this game should be in the mid to upper 30s at the most. If it's over 40, go under.

    Stallworth has the same burst but is alot smaller than Carter. Carter's gonna be a monster with a few added pounds and route running practice... he's got the tools.
