Pretty sure their Pass game is what I'm worried about.

These stats (being listed) prove something.

Dude. I'm agreeing that they're a better pass team than running team. But when they beat us, they beat us with the run. How do you not get that? I'm not saying they're going to come out and run all over us, I'm saying you can't dispute that they've run on us in the past.

I'm not disputing they ran on us in the past, I'm disputing that that is the NUMBER 1 thing we will have to stop from them defeating us in 2011 under Mark Hudspeth.
I am stating that the NUMBER 1 thing we will have to stop from them is the PASS and then we will have to stop or limit the run. Apparently you just read the after math and not my original reply to his blog.

FAU had a big bruising back in Morris. In the first half he looked unstoppable, trucking through defenders like he was in a video game. That stopped in the second half. Adjustments....we has it

I read your reply.


His facts were the rushing stats that he used. Those are facts, can't deny those.
His opinion is that we need to stop the run 1st. You disagree with that. Therefore you disagree with his opinion.

to us, yes that is his opinion....but in his mind, it is facts and that is why he got so defensive.
I just simply posted facts regarding this years stats because it is OBVIOUSLY (imo) what we need to stop First.

If I would get paid to write 5 keys to beating so and so each week, I would be glad to write it and post it :)

Troy Ran the ball to beat a bad....BAD UAB team I believe we are way better than UAB and even though I still expect a close game I think the pass is what we are going to have to worry about because we have been susceptible from it in the past this year

that is also what my main concern is vs. MTSU, Ark St, and Arizona....the three other pass heavy teams on our schedule.

We all knew FAU was a run first team, just like we all know Troy State is a pass first team.

Guess what aspect of FAU's game almost beat us??? THE PASSING GAME!!!!

I'll let you read what I responded with to his 5 keys to beating FAU....I stated this before the game even played and BOP doubted me.

He has come off the same way in the past. I guess it comes with the territory.

I have no idea what BOP has in mind when writing these blogs, but have you ever considered that he is trying to talk about other aspects of their game besides the obvious?

You putting the #1 key as shutting down the passing game is like a fantasy football analysts telling you to start Aaron Rodgers this week. Tell us something besides the given.....

Do you like to argue just for the sake of arguing? I just gave you evidence that I was warning about FAU's passing game as a KNOWN running team.

I'm sorry I like to be realistic when stating keys to stop opponents from winning
