I'm worried about.... (Merged)

[Stevorino]

Do you think there's any way they'll be able to get open?!

 

[Chilmonty]

Not as worried about them GETTING OPEN, as I am about the ball arriving WHILE their open???

Two words.....Daniel Gray.

This could get ugly....early.

 

[LittleCat]

I'm more worried about how the O-Line will do. Doesn't matter what the receivers do if the qb doesn't have time.

 

[monkeymantn]

Well, it's a good thing we have Malone, Pig, Croom, and Smith since two of our best receivers will inevitably be locked down all day.

Utah State would pee their jock if we came out in a 5-wide set from the opening kick-off.

From earlier this fall:

Just heard a good interview with former NFL coach Jerry Glanville on Sports Animal. He said he came and spoke to the team. He mentioned a couple interesting things: (1) he talked about how when he coached at Georgia Tech they beat everybody except Tennessee and about how dominant they were; and (2) when watched the QBs in practice they were all getting rid of the ball extremely quickly by design.

If North and Pearson can't get open its probably because they are getting double- teamed. Not good for the bad guys! Malone will have a coming out party and Pig will be Pig!

and then ran it up the gut

Worley played in a dink-dunk, quick throw offense in high school...and became the National Gatorade player of the Year. I believe this offense will give him a lot of opportunity to do the same....with much better receivers. These receivers will have HUGE YAC numbers in this game. USU's db's are in for long embarrassing day.

serious?

their CB's are terrible, their only strong suite on defense is their LB's

 

[OrngeChkrboardVFL]

Just a few quick facts from the rosters I saw.

USU Oline - Average weight = 289
UT Oline - Average weight = 308

USU WR's - Average 6ft 167lbs
UT WR's - Average 6'1" 200;bs

USU CB's Average 5'8" 179lbs
UT CB's Average 5'9" 190lbs

USU DL Average 269lbs
UT DL Average 308lbs

USU RB's = average 185lbs
UT RB's = average 197lbs

USU LB average = 227lbs
UT LB average = 226lbs

And for the hell of it their QB's = 193 pounds our QB's = 215

If the conditioning is as good or better than last year I don't see USU surviving 4 quarters just from sheer lack of size.

If this post is correct, the USU corners will be giving up about 21 lbs and 3 inches on average to our guys. I'll take that matchup anyday.

Still think the TE's and RB's will be big when our OLine slips. Check downs and slants and quick drops will keep our offense on the field, boost WorleyBird confidence, and give our OLine help. Imagine a checkdown to Jalen Hurd...feel pretty confident that he will pick up some yards in tough plays.

^This!! Hope we treat USU like Oregon treated us last year! :rock::rock:

I'm way more worried about our defense in this one vs. Chuckie Keaton, than I am our offense.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

You have to be kidding me. Vicious corners? Their brand new. This is a severe mismatch for them.

I'm not too worried about Keeton doing it alone. I think he is a ver, very good QB - but he's essentially the only talent returning on their offense.

Sarcasm is truely lost here

Yeah....the WR/DB matchup borders on unfair.

Worley and the WR corp are going to feast.

I do believe this was sarcasm by the op

Pound the rock to set up play action

Totally agree, but he can cause some problems....especially early. That all hinges on him being truly healthy too.

Hopefully our newfound team speed will offset him. Our performance against QB's who could run last year makes me a little nervous though.

I still think our positives in this game vastly outweigh our negatives and it won't be close. Something about this game reminds me of the NC State matchup from a couple of years back.

That's my hope too and then release the kracken when needed with Lane/Hurd.

I'm surprised even one person bit. I thought 'vicious' and 'USU' back-to-back would be a surefire signal.

 

['Boro-vol]

Yep....that seems like a big mismatch too. I expect the 4th quarter to get real short.
