-	We are a Power 5 conference team – and a good one. We’ll have better athletes at virtually every position. I’m particularly interested to see how Army is going to cover our receivers. They have a good one in Alston but we’ll have three guys like that lining up for every play.

-	I think the 3-3-5 is the perfect defense to combat an option-style game. It gives us plenty of options on defense- fast, hard-hitting ones. And we still have the personnel to guard against the deep pass from their one threat.

-	I’ve seen good Power five teams deal with the option, not by just fanning out sideways but by penetrating before the quarterback can even get to make the pitch. We have the people who can do that.

-	How is Army going to deal with Garrett Shrader, “The Shedder”. He made Purdue look silly. Of course, Army will have to make some adjustments of it’s own to deal with those sweeps and bootlegs. But I’m sure we’ve got a counter to those adjustments, probably having to do with getting the ball to our swift receivers.

-	Junior Allen may not have the explosiveness of a healthy Sean Tucker but he can still have a huge impact on a game. He’s a solid runner, a solid pass receiver and a fine blocker who plays each play from beginning to end. He keeps showing up in clips of SU players scoring touchdowns as LeQuint has come out of the backfield to make the last block way downfield to spring them for the score and is escorting his teammate to glory.

-	We’re back in the Dome so our near-perfect kicking game should be back in place.

-	DeMarcus Adams is going to get one someday. Why not against Army?

-	Adjustments? Which team will do the best job of making them? I like our chances.

3-0 and 9 – or 10 to go!

LET’S GO ORANGE!!!
