Most Likely Upsets-Week 5

[AWK]

So true.  Had Ole Miss played Florida in week 10 last year, they would have been Tebow'ed by 20 pts. 

Or how Georgia was playing at the end of 2006. 
Or Auburn at the end of 2005. 
Or Arkansas losing by 500 points to USC early in the year in 2006, then winning the SEC west.

And I agree, starters vs starters, I like our chances with anyone.  Our defense concerns me, but I'm less concerned than I was a few days ago.  Our coaches have basically conceded that they didn't care one tiny rats ass how many points Ball State scored once we had a decent lead. 

They played anyone and everyone, including scout team players that had never even seen BSU's scheme or plays.  It's one thing to have a sub in with the starters, it's another thing entirely to have all subs and scout team.  I think holding West Virginia to 9 points in the final three quarters shows something about what our defense is capable of.  If we keep forcing turnovers, we'll be alright I think.

The whole point of the scout team(defense) is to emulate the opposing teams defense for that week.  Just an FYI.

Thanks, but our scout team defense doesn't play against their defense...they play against the other teams offense.

My point was that the scout team had seen the schemes and plays, you weren't specific as to which one though.

Actually, our scout team defense is responsible for playing the schemes of the other defense and plays against OUR offense.  Therefore they do not get to see the opposing teams offense during practice.

[jadennis]

My bad for being unclear.  What I meant is that our scout defense practices against our offense.  But when they go into the actual game, they are playing against the other teams offense, which is something they hadn't been prepared for or studying, so its no wonder they are a bit lost.

But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Never enter a land war in China, and only slightly less known is....never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line!
