careful out on the limb, Brett

He went out on the limb last week.

So there's a chance?

Protect Mason long enough to throw deep and get our dynamic guys (Darden, Smith, Johnson, etc.) in matchups on those big LB's where they have to run with them across or down the field.

This is what worries me this week.  Iowa has a DE that, as the announcers during the Iowa/Iowa State game mentioned, is more talented than any player they have recruited at that position.  He has the ability to make Lawler from SMU look pedestrian.  Murray will have his hands full.

Makes you wonder if they'll utilize a lot more of the screen game because of that. 

I'm betting Darden and Lawrence get a lot of of work this Saturday

Beginning to wonder "if", not "when", Chumley will emerge this season or not.

I just hope that we don't get any injuries and that the check doesn't bounce.

"Murray will have his hands full" is true every week

[VideoEagle]

Just curious, did ANYONE predict we'd win this one before the season began? That said, I like that Littrell is at least saying he's going to try to win. 

[EagleMBA]

Well, here are some random thoughts:

1. We will show up and dress out.

2. We have some quality athletes, just like they do.

3. Their various media quotes that I have read give us a lot of bulletin board material.

4. They seem to be fixated on Pedo State.

5. The ball sometimes takes funny bounces.

6. See David and Goliath.

7. YEAH...there's a chance.

Yeah it's been very odd. I especially remember seeing a lot of Smith at H and Chumley Y in the same sets in fall practice. Maybe they're "saving" him for conference?

Probably not likely, but possible.

It's a helluva better chance for us to beat Iowa than the normal Southern Power Team we usually play.

[Hunter Green]

Let's hope someone wakes up Graham Harrell before halftime and reminds him that Mason is capable of throwing deep. Especially on first down.

GO MEAN GREEN!

why do we always seem to the draw the team that will end up in the top 10 at the year end.  We never seem to catch anyone in off season.  Our luck.

[KRAM1]

Has to be the toughest prediction Brett has ever made. 😂😂

[oldguystudent]

You've earned this one, Brett.

[Rudy]

The kiss of death from Brett.

[flyonthewall]

We actually call him bert Frito at our house.  He kissed ass last week and made the bold prediction that he did.   Lord would i love for Frito to look like an idiot two weeks in a row........

[TreeFiddy]

Not exactly sure why, but I think we cover easily. I am thinking 14 points or less. I am hopeful we come out and hit them with wild ass circus on offense and keep the pedal down the whole game. Nothing to lose. No reason to die by 1,000 paper cuts.

The problem with this lies in special teams play.  We showed nothing last week that we have a Brelan game changing play like against Georgia....i know it's a one game sample, but until it trends upward....
