Whoa, you saying you don't have your man-crush on Appleby anymore?Appletitts had a fair shot and blew it....
They are giving up about 35 pts a game to SEC competition so look for LDR to lead us to about 35 to 45 points against them. I think its homecoming also which should mean we are motivated.
Unless he improves on his stat line from that stout North Texas defense there won't be 35+ scored (by the offense, ST's or defensive scores could run up the total). LDR's last outing: 14/25, 186 yards, ZERO TD's, 1 INT. Am I the only one who remembers his last appearance? Have we all of a sudden gotten new OL? A new OC? A new head coach?
Rice (the college, not the food) scored 3 more points than we did vs. N. Texas. Middle Tennessee put up 2 less than the offense led by Del Rio did. Hell, Bethune-Cookman put up 20 points on NT's defense (12 less than we scored w/ Del Rio leading the way).
I'm happy LDR is returning healthy, but I'm not expecting some new, improved offense. I'm expecting much of the same as we've seen through 5 games. Anything better than that would be a bonus.

You act as if we actually prepared for North Texas..... if you are going to use the transitive property, we put up 45 on Kentucky while Alabama only put up 34 on them.... I'll wait on your hypocritical response for that.
I'm sorry to bring reality into your orange & blue fantasy.....
You are claiming that our offense is bad because rice put up 3 more than us on North Texas. But at the same time we put up more on Kentucky (11 more to be exact) than Alabama did. The Transitive property doesn't work in football. Does that mean our offense is good? Of course not, I think they are below average but at the same time you are using a dumb way to justify their underperformance
No...I used that as an example. But, for your clarification, I am "claiming" our offense is "bad" because....it is. Not sure what you've been watching.
There you have it folks! We're better than Alabama!You act as if we actually prepared for North Texas..... if you are going to use the transitive property, we put up 45 on Kentucky while Alabama only put up 34 on them.... I'll wait on your hypocritical response for that.

He's gonna throw a football over the mountain, betcha a million dollars.
Sometimes a QB just has a bad game. Something gets in their head before game time and just screws up their thinking/timing/sync. It happens. I think that's what happened in that game with LDR. I think the other games he played in are more indicative of what we'll normally see from him. I could be wrong, but he just didn't look the same in that game to me as in the others. He just wasn't quite in tune, if you will... We'll see.
