No way we hold them to only 23. 

Why not?  Teams haven't just pounded the ball down our throats this season.  The big gains in rushing early on came from scrambles or missed assignments.  Those got corrected.

Really hoping the assignment part is the best it's ever been for this week. Only way to stop a triple option is sound gap integrity and tackling

If this staff has proven anything, it is that they will get mistakes corrected and rather quickly especially on the Defensive side of the ball.  If we can get a few stops early and the offense can score once or twice I think we can get them uncomfortable and try to force stuff.  I really, really like our chances.

This is the key to the game. Do this and I love our chances. Don't do this and I hate our chances. Getting a run based team behind the 8ball on the scoreboard early is the best way and quickest way to put them to bed early.

I know the triple option is something completely different than we've seen all season... but we are actually fairly stout against the run. I actually thought we'd pull this one out as well... This is all contingent on our offense executing... we can't have our defense on the field for most of the game as in several prior games..

If Hood can step this game it will be a big help with his big body clogging the middle,  After last season I gave up on the Mean Green and had no expectations going into this season.   Now they have been thinking we can win again!  Hold on Lucy is holding the football for me to kick, be back in a second,

Just for this one game, I would have considered playing buyers at corner.  This is going to be a very different type of game for our corners and they are going to have to get dirty.  

I think you can say the same for our receiving corps though. They're going to have to be physical. I like the corners we have and I don't think it's worth the risk of having Buyers play a position he hasn't played since, what, 2014? I say keep him where he's at.

      Javion was my pick as well followed closely by Mitchel, just to see what he could accomplish under a good coach.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC has a media rights deal that runs through 2036 with massive financial penalties to leave. ACC schools make more money per school than the Big 12. The PAC had no media deal and zero financial penalty to leave the conference. The two situations couldn't be more different. ACC schools do not want to associate themselves with the likes of WVU, Cincy, UCF, Texas Tech, OK State and the other Truck Stoppers.
