Been touched on in other threads, but for more in depth discussion, what do you want to see the good guys accomplish this weekend. Where do you expect improvement?
Me:
Defense: I'd like to see at least 2-3 Turnovers, the one INT last week was great but I'd like the D to build some momentum before Arkansas in this department.
Offense: An improved running game (discounting the QB) I'd like to see the Big three gain 150 plus on the ground. I say 150 because I have a feeling Trey or CMike could bust a big one. We're going to have to have a little more balance against Arkansas.

I really doubt we focus on the run game. This is a scrimmage. It's about getting better, not about making anyone feel better about anything.
Offensively we're likely going to work on:
- JFF's progressions
- RB blitz pickups and outlets
- oline cohesion on pass plays
Defensively it's going to probably be more of an audition for various guys. Snyder said Baggs is going to play the hybrid role this week (Hurd did vs the air attack of SMU last). And with Everett moving to safety, I think we need to decide which corners are in the game in various situations.
Yes, I know everyone is insecure about whether we have a power running game. Or whether we get turnovers. But running at will vs SCSU or blitzing the shite out of them is rather pointless. We need to prepare for Arky and La Tech and LSU and that's what we're going to be doing.

I want to see Manziel throw deep early and often. First off, he needs to continue to get more comfortable doing so that when he plays better teams he won't think twice. Just as importantly I want other teams to see the film of him doing it so that they have to plan on preparing for it.
If we can get teams to respect our deep passing game they are cooked. There is simply too much space left on the field with the offense we run for them to cover it.
I expect we will see a lot more running the ball both because they need the reps and because Sumlin won't want to be too nasty about running the score up. I just hope he doesn't pull the chute too quickly, I'd like to see the 1st and 2nd team get plenty of reps.
