So after seeing some real football last night, what things popped into your head that you are nervous about?

Tackling. We have not been a good tackling team in years. And like it or not, we still have the same players out there who could not tackle for those years. Did they finally learn over the summer?

Defensive line pressure. South Carolina got some serious pressure from the front 4. All of them. Can Sanders and Owens pressure from the ends or will they overrun the play like they have in the past.

Conditioning. It wont be as hot in JHS tomorrow night as it was un Columbia yesterday but can these guys go 4 quarters? Especially in our thin secondary. I see a lot of playing time for everyone.

Defensive line pressure


Also the fast pace offense having several three and outs in the first few series to put our defense in a bind early and get pounded. Similiar thing happened last night to UNC but I believe our O Line is much better and have better running backs to pound the line but we will see. I will be so pissed when I start to see screens result in negative yardage.

After watching the poor defensive performances out of UNC & Ole Mrs I fear the effects of the spread on defensive preparation.

My biggest concern is Dline pressure. If we can't get pressure on WSU, our season is going to suck and they'll have a chance at the upset bombing it down the field.

Honestly, I feel better about our offense after watching several similar offenses have success against better defenses than we will play, but I worry about our secondary getting repeatedly burned all night.

Whether I should buy end zone or 50 yard line tickets for the National Title Game

Not nervous at all, just ready for the game. I truly am just waiting to see what we look like and hope for the best. I am expecting errors and sputtering, but hoping to see some continuity as the game progresses. I will be keying on the front 6 of the D and the WR's.

The OM/Vandy game was a blast and loved the competition. They both played hard, and despite some sloppy play it was very entertaining. It got me stoked for tomorrow.

What I learned last night:

We should handle Ole Miss at home.

What I'm nervous about after watching yesterday:

We might not handle Ole Miss if we can't get pressure on Wallace (if he hasn't re-injured the shoulder by the time Ole Miss comes to town).



That's all I learned.
