Well wishes for a speedy recovery GIG

3rd and medium: I think this was the plan from the beginning. Establish momentum. Don't allow our offense off the field on the first drive. The offense needed as many reps passing and catching as possible. We didn't have the 1st game of the season so they wanted as many people to feel comfortable in the offense as possible. We only had 1 game to do it. Red Zone: It's a problem

We definitely need to be better in the red zone to beat the top teams on our schedule. I'm sure it's a priority for Roper.

Going for it on 4th down when you have faith in your defense, should be a regular occurrence. If we are on the +side of the 50, I think we should treat 4th down just like 3rd down. Not that FG's aren't good but from the 35 out when it's 4th and 3 or less, we should just go for it. What good will punting or missing a long FG do?

That would be suicide against the good teams. You pin them deep when you get the chance unless you are maybe around the 35. Muschamp/Roper were only doing that because we were playing such a poor defense.

I have hit some bumps that have thrown me in a bit of a tail-spin. I am having major surgery later in the week, so, I probably won't know the results of this game until days after it is played. Hopefully, things will work out and I will be able to join in on celebrating a great year. If not, I wish all of you the best and ask that you do a few chomps for me. I don't know any of you personally; yet, I feel like I have made some friends. As for the Kentucky, several self-appointed experts think Kentucky has a real chance of beating us, because of their defense. Their defense does look better, especially up front and we have some issues with our OL, due to Hump being out; however, I believe our guys are going to really be focused and play a better game than the first one. We will have them fighting over seats on the bus by halftime and will win big.

Will be thinking of you. Can't wait until your first after UK game post!

The spread is always problematic in the red zone. There isn't a way around that unless your QB is the best FB in history.

Going into this week as with the rest of the season they need to continue with what we saw the other day. Win first down and keep it to a 3 and manageable. It will get tougher as the season progresses but certainly attainable.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

I just hope we don't get anyone hurt. It seems like someone important always gets hurt while we club Kintucky.

 

[TN G8tr]

I hope so too. Would love to come out of this game with NO injuries at all. Then ready for Bammer.

We need to jump out to a 40+ lead by the half so we can pull all our starters for the second half.
