RE: Thoughts from Yosef's Cabin
App fan here, about our team, very strong defensively, especially on the defensive line and linebackers, top defensive team in the SBC last year, actually played great against Clemson, held them to 3.3 yds per carry, and under 360 total yds for the game, 4 turnovers just killed us, led to 24 Clemson points. Offensively, we are a running team, with Cox and Upshaw, good solid receiving corp, but, not a lot of breakaway speed, we are more a possession type corp, our qb Lamb, is very smart (the son of a collage football coach, Bobby Lamb at Mercer) doesn't make alot of mental mistakes, but, not a great athlete, isn't going to beat anyone running with the ball, we basically ask him to manage the game, and not try to win the game by himself, good leader, players listen and respect him. The strength of the team might be the depth, we can now go 2, sometimes 3 deep at most positions and not see production drop off significantly. I don't know much about you guys, but from what little I know, it seems that this game will probably be close into the 4th, neither team can afford to not bring their best game if they hope to win, a critical turnover, or a poor special teams play might decide the game
