From other message boards to some of the posters on this forum, so many are failing to recognize this team is NOT static. We are not the same team by any stretch that stepped out on the field at Pitt. I see the Bammers, KENSUCKY fans and now those mouth breathers a few miles south of us in Jawga refuse to acknowledge the quantum leaps we have made since Pitt and especially the FLA game. They cherry pick a stat that suits what they WANT to believe and run with it as if it tells the whole story when, in fact, it’s only a fraction and becomes obsolete by the very next game. We stand a great chance of walking into the Sanford cracker box and beating these guys.
Get to Bennett early and often…the guy wears his emotions on his sleeve and you know when he is frustrated. Odds are he makes more mistakes as the game goes on if we can apply pressure. Get in his head early, he’s gonna struggle. All defensive units are now playing their best football and we’re going to be mostly healthy across the board on defense going into this game. These guys beat what was supposed to be a very physical Kentucky offense into submission, we took their will. Their play calling was just grasping at straws by the third qtr. Heuepel and Golesh WILL find the mismatches. They probably already have on film, so expect GA to change things up a bit. Give Hype and Golesh a minute to figure it out, and they will, then watch us get guys open.
We ran about a 2/1 run/pass play ratio vs Ky. Teams are making the same mistake each week. They see our explosive pass plays and overload the secondary giving our O Line, which is the best in recent memory, the opportunity to push a lighter D line around and open up big holes for Small and Wright. And the tempo negates timely substitutions by the other teams. We might not be super deep, but we have players. These guys have forgotten how to lose and the in game adversity doesn’t seem to rattle them. I think we gut it out for a win.
