We have got to get off the field on 3rd down on defense. In the first game vs Coastal they were 9 of 15, plus 1 for 1 vs us on 4th down, meaning they extended 10 of the 16 drives when we had them in 3rd down. The other thing is we need to make it 3rd and 7 plus. This team thrives on 3rd and 1-4, but struggles more on 3rd and 5+. I seem to remember them running the same play on a handful of 3rd and shorts vs us, where McCall faked the hand off and rolled out and hit a running back or tight end in the flat wide open, that play works well on 3rd and 3, but not as much on 3rd and 9. Ironically it was the same play we ran on 4th down late in the game that was wide open and was dropped by Elijah Mitchell that may have won the game for us.

We have to be solid on tackling, we must not let guys like Marable and White get past the first tackle. Again, keeping them behind the chains is key. They are allot like Georgia Southern and App in this way. This team will kill you when it is 2nd and 3rd and less then 5. But 2nd and 3rd and 8+ is where our defense has the advantage.

On offense we must be able to run the ball and control the clock. You want to see Mr. McCall and Mr. Marable on the bench more than on the field. CCU killed us in Time of Possession in the first game, they held the ball for 38 minutes plus, while we had it for less than 22 minutes. Coastal loves to have long drives and eat up the clock, we can not allow this, see above (get off the field on 3rd down).

If we control the clock, limit their 3rd and shorts and do not lose the turnover battle we win. If any of the above happen to us, we will be in a dogfight that will be hard to win. And as John Madden so eliquently put it years ago.... “Usually the team that scores the most points wins the game.”
