We win this by more than 3 to 4 scores....although our defense has to do it's part and force 3 and outs, get ball pressure, and force some turnovers.
The only way that happens is if we are playing Vanilla waiting for Navy. Otherwise, I see us passing almost as much as last season, just using a different passing attack.
Brady White is closer to what Coach Norvell wants for his system than Riley was. They adapted their system to fit his talent.
That may be true, but the coaches still hadn't settled upon a QB until Moore up and quit.
This tells me that Brady isn't quite as far along as he was needed to be.
It's why I see us leaning on the run a bit more, until Brady gets more comfortable in the offense.
or they did know and didn't want Moore to transfer out
I'm thinking you are much closer to correct.
Happy to have been wrong. Sometimes I overanalyze things. Next week will tell us what kind of team we have on our hands when we play Navy.

Not sure if Navy will be a test. For that matter, nobody potentially until UCF and they gave up 500 yards to UConn?!! Houston struggled with Rice... Missouri?!! I mean it really scares me how this looks this dang easy potentially. I do honestly believe our biggest enemy is ourselves. Avoid stupid mistakes and injuries and this could be an incredibly good team.

That should be interesting. Let's see what Pollard does with that.
Probably a fluke but Pollard's only return was for -2 yards.

He only had 1 return for the entire game.
Slade had decent returns on his two tries.

Once again, did you actually watch the game? He only had one return because after they opening kickoff, they didn't score again until midway through the 4th Quarter.
Slade was stopped by a shoestring tackle or would've taken it to the house.

Due to a hold.
Fact is that Tigers KO return ranking is 99th currently and punt return 124th.
