Pre-Dick-Shuns Week B

[GH2001]

Not sure why some of you guys think this is going to be high scoring. If I was a bettin' man, I'd take the under.

Tigers - 17
Tigers - 13

Inclined to agree here. The front 4s for both teams are superb.

I think we can expect 8 wins unless we can win this one.

We can beat Clemson if we don't get beaten deep and I'm thinking the Georgia Southern prep might pay off more in this game as far as containing Bryant is concerned.

Conversely I think we have to stay balanced and hope our receivers can make plays.
Haven't seen this yet other than what we saw from Hastings last week so how could we know much?
I certainly hope we were sandbagging.

I'm pretty confident that our defense will keep Clemson stymied, so the only real question (vis a vis the o/u) is how productive our offense can be.

With Pettway back to deliver the body blows and occupy the Clemson front 7, I like our chances to work the play action.  No throws to NCM last week?  Sheeeeeit.  He's gonna get fed.  Kyle Davis working the other side will either open up the middle for slants (to the flowing locks of Canella) or allow Cox/Pettway to do work between the tackles.

Hate losing KJ for this one, but Kam Martin looks capable of filling the change-of-pace speed role. 

As long as JS stays upright and minimizes his mistakes (or the OL doesn't OLE!), I think we put 21+ on 'em.  That's enough for a W in faux Death Valley.

I hope you are correct because I think Clemson and the Turds are the best two teams again overall.

Sadly you are not coaching.  Play action?  What's that?

Well. I have seen Stidham stab the ball in the direction of the RB before a few passes!

I also saw the wrap around draw and I wanted to cut myself...and a kitten.

Is that the play where I take the football downfield and act like I'm lost?

No, that's play acting.

Shut your damned mouth.  That play, run with amazing precision by Chris Todd, is pretty fucking great when well executed.

I don't hate the wraparound draw.  I've seen it work well enough. 

I went back and looked at some of last week's game.  The OL wasn't as good as I wanted it, but several of the hurries and the sack-fumble in particular were the result of Kerryon Johnson whiffing on who he was supposed to pick up. 

What coach was it who kept holding running backs out because they didn't know or fulfill their blocking schemes?  Was that Tuberville and Kenny Irons?

Right.
So if Pettway gets his blocking assignments, Tega his and Stidham lets it loose we have a fighting chance.
The so called experts though all pick Climpsum.

[Pell City Tiger]

If we can catch Clemson off guard by hitting them with a couple of whirly birds right off the bat, we stand a great chance!

Seriously though, it's going to be a slobber knocker - low scoring and hard hitting. I say 20-17 Auburn.

Look boys, I'm going with the white coaches vest today so everything should be good.
