-  The key to the 6-1 finish last year was that the offensive line jelled and we just started crushing people up front. It’s happening again. 323 yards rushing against the #3 team in the country and then 362 more in the rain vs. an NC State that was supposed to be pretty good on defense is pretty darn impressive. Tech isn’t as good on defense as either team.

-  Tech has a lot of injuries in their defensive backfield which affect their pass defense but also their running defense. They way our linemen get to the linebacker’s they are really going to be stressed in this game.

-  Our passing game has been in low gear but with all the running success, there ought to be some guys open and Terrel Hunt is still learning to play this game. He’ll get better with each game. Then watch out.

-  For several years we’ve been recruiting athletic linebackers and speedy defensive backs. For weeks we’ve been working on avoiding cut blocks and defending the option. Now it pays off.

-  The hidden secret to defending the option is penetration by the interior linemen to blow up the play before it starts. Meet Mr. Jay Bromley, who is becoming the second coming of the great Arthur Jones.

-  Our great weakness is pass defense.  The key question each game is: is the other team good enough through the air to exploit this. The answer again this week will be: no.

-  Both teams run the ball well and pass it not so well. If either team gets off to a fast start and puts the other team in hole, they are likely to win. Sorry Jackets, but that’ll be us.

-  We are teaching these southern teams what hard-nosed football is all about. Here comes another lesson.

3-3 with 6, (or 7) to be

LET’S GO ORANGE!
