Waldo, I think its the old addage that if a team does something really well, above other things, you have to assume that they will typically be able to accomplish doing it on a consistent basis. However, if you eliminate all other forms of offense, they have nothing else to balance their production. For instance, people played Michael Jordan and knew that he would score 35 against them, however, they felt that they could beat the Bulls if they stopped all the other players around him. I think that we assume Troy will be able to pass the ball to a level of success.It's what they do especially when they have one of the best QB's in the belt. However, they've proven in recent years that they can run the ball and their running game has killed us. My number one key to this game was stopping the interior run. I agree with Jay because we've seen Dajuan Harris and Catouse amongst others just kill over the years when we are keying the pass. I do agree with jay that those huge rushing games had a lot to do with the margin of victory and I think that if we allow them to do the same this year, it would be similar.
You say our DL is better than recent years and are likely right but they are not LSU's line and are by no means a dominant bunch. We need them to play as well as they've played in any game this year so we can get pressure on Robinson and let the back 7 play the pass.
--------#1) We blitz and he has man coverage---We can be very vulnerable in that situation-----#2) If you miss then we have 3rd and long---If we get 3rd and makable our big backs have been getting her done-----#s 3-5 I agree!!! Don't get me wrong on #s 1 and 2 we need to mix it up but that
's why you have coaches and check offs!!!!
If we win, one of the keys to winning next week will be for the players not to squash the place kicker in the post game pileup.

... the old 5-keys-to-victory sportswriters' bit actually means if these 5 things happen we will win, and I gotta say if Jay's 5 keys go in the Cajuns' favor, it's hard to imagine the Cajuns losing. It's certainly possible to come up with alternate keys, but me, I tend to agree with Jay. I should add, however, that most of Jay's keys hold true for most games: win the running game, QB play well, win turnover battle, etc. But the real key, ;-), (which is another cliche) IS WIN UP FRONT. I know football, and I've seen some UL football (4 years' worth); we win so many battles up front this year. Our right tackle is a beast, just watch him! And, our pressure on the QB has played a factor in both Sunbelt victories. I could go on (e.g. Green's blocking inside and outside the tackle box), but suffice it to say...
...let's hear one for the HOGS!! Every winning football team's unsung hero!
