Game Week: Coastal Carolina

[talktomewillis]

Two things: 1. They have not been really efficient in the passing game; our best bet is to stuff the run and make them beat us in the air. 2. They have not played anyone with a really good running game or a really good defense [South Carolina ain't no Mississippi State]; and their pass defense is worse than ours.

I believe we can score early and often, control the clock with the running game, toast them in the passing game, and force them to throw more than they want to.

We will win this game; probably by multiple scores.

not efficient in the passing game? Seriously?

Their QB has a rating of 180+. He's completing 71%. Now, they only throw it an average of 15 times a game. But they've been VERY effective when throwing it.

Your assessment of their defense is correct. We will pound the rock against them.

Let me rephrase that. In the one game they played against a team that shut down, the run,, they were unwilling or unable to turn to the passing game to carry the offense. I don't think that was a fluke.

Over half of their passing yards and passing TDs came against Campbell. Their passing game doesn't scare me.

Also, we saw 2 quarterbacks last week that are better in the run game than the one we will see today. Not that this one can't or won't be effective against us, but he is no Nick Fitzgerald.

How about Fitzpatrick? I think I saw that we played one of those also last week.

Fitzpatrick is the best Running QB in SEC history i doubt Coastal will have a guy 1/4 of Fitzgerald talent

You won't need to dedicate 2 defense of players on him a Safety spy is about all you need

After hearing our strength coach speak yesterday at the qb club, I am happy about our conditioning this year. No matter what happens in first half, I think we pull away from Coastal in the second half.

His name is Fitzgerald. You're having Saints' flashbacks.

No...this guy isn't as good. He won't hang 56 on us.

But don't fool yourself. He can make plenty of plays. We will not "shut him down."

I don't think we will shut him down in the run game; but we will limit him to some degree. The key to winning this game is to limit their rushing attack to under 200 yards. They will not beat us with the pass.
