From the Bird's Nest: Five keys to beating Troy

[raginsaints]

Well his facts that Troy has run all over is indisputable. You may disagree with the opinion that it's the first thing we need to stop, the fact is that they've run well on us to beat us.

[moorecajun]

because your "facts" arent very credible in my opionion

But weren't his "facts" stated that when Troy has run well against us, they have won. When we have been able to control their running game we have had a chance to win, or did win.

To me that sounds like doing some research, but that is just my opinion.

Troy has Run well against Rickey Bustle and his lack of making adjustments in the past. He has not seen Troy play against Mark Hudspeth and His coaching staff so there are no facts on this yet.

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

[raginsaints]

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.

[RaginWaldo]

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
