My concerns:

-Our depth at DL (also, we're not that big...our size across the d-line starters go 6'5 240, 6'1 265, 6'3 250, 6'1 250...hopefully what we lack in size we'll make up for with speed/athelticism, your thoughts?)
-Our new O-tackles Freeman and Pollard...Freeman has moved from DE, to DT, now he's playing LT. Pollard is a RS-Fresh. He's got size (6'6 315) but inexperienced.

However, I feel real good about our depth at RB/WR/secondary. We're deep in those positions.

Final score prediction:

USM 37
UK 30

TTT...

I hope you kill em

I'll take USM for the close win.

so many options....

the o/u is a question mark with Hop and corp....

I got us in a shootout too....

we find out soon....

I predict a shootout with a five point Eagle win...

Doesn't our small D line go up against our 300+ lb hogs everyday in practice? Or do we bring in a local high school to practice against them?

True. I'm just curious who are anchors/run-stuffers are gonna be on 3rd/4th and short....

I just realized we have ONE defensive lineman who is 300+ on our roster......and he's injured.

hence, shootout strategy styling....

we have to play this game the same as against LT and Dixon last year.....that seemed to work pretty good....

pressure the QB at all costs and stack it.....we have those tools to do that....

You can add 15-20 lbs to most of those DL weights. Still not 300 pounders, but hopefully big enough to hold their own. They should all possess good quickness and strength.

That would be the way to do it.
Always had a lot of respect for USM, and will be watching this game as I think it will be a good, exciting one, with a (close) W for USM. Believe it's on ESPNU, if I remember correctly. Either way, good luck!

I may rag on y'all a bunch, but i always pull for a team playing the cartel 5..


Also we might be conference mates in the AAC soon =)
