Do we start our first drive to try to establish the run and be more run heavy or concentrate more on short pass plays? Does Milton take a deep shot downfield early in the game or does Heupel avoid a possible interception? What would you guys think? Also how does Heupel use Dee on offense if he is on offense?

I would do a flea flicker pass deep to Warren.

The success of A&M's defense has been limiting gains on 1st and 2nd downs, and forcing 3rd and long, where their pass rush can shine. Very similar to our defense, in that aspect.

So I'm dubious about starting with a running play.

The Neyland home advantage is no secret, so taking our crowd out of the game early would be a strategic win worthy of a gamble. My biggest fear is a D lining up in a way that invites us to throw the quick screen to the WR, but the CB penetrating to jump the route for a pick-six.

So if our first possession faced that situation, I'd look at faking that pass, while the blocking WR releases downfield on a go or deep slant route, depending on the safety's position.

But maybe a safer opening play would be that pretty play S.Carolina ran against us, where the QB faked the jet sweep running left-to-right, looked downfield left, then hit that jet sweep receiver on a screen pass to the right.

I feel sure we're gonna see that play against A&M's defense sometime Saturday.

A 73 yard (in the air) to Squirrel for a TD. Then go for (and make) a two-point conversion. Set the tone early that, "We intend to beat your butt."

Play action pass to the TE. IF UT struggles with TAM's DL, I am guessing he'll try to get them out of loading up the box. UT does have speed at all the skill positions, one-on-one matchups will be critical.

will be a screen pass to Caleb Webb to the outside. I dont think the first few plays will be a run based on how well they stop it.

The one play I would not call is off tackle to the right side of the line. Because I would not do it, that may be the play they call to see how their defense reacts. I would not call the short screen to the sidelines either. This play will be jumped and picked off for a pick six. I think the defense will open with a 2 deep zone which open up a curl or slant over the middle.

Based off Squirrel being the only guy that Jimbo knew by name I would think he gets extra attention. So I guess we're going 75 yard bomb to Thornton on the outside.
