Pretty doubtful though. We will see next week if AU is likely to have any chance whatsoever. We rested most of our D yesterday. Marks and Coleman our two best players did not even start. Tubs said he rolled the dice not dressing or playing so many starters, but just trying to get the team rested for the two that count. By the way, Burns had a career day with over 300 yards offense by himself. I know agianst a D2 team, but it will help his confidence - this was only his third game as the full time starter.



I thought we were playing our starters for that game... if we didn't that makes me feel slightly better. We played them way to close in the first three quarters for comfort.

We did play our starters and I agree too close, but Marks and Coleman are pretty much our best on the D-line and probably on the D as a whole and neither dressed out I am almost positive.

ETA: Just checked, we did not play 3 D-line starters (hence no pass rush whatsoever) and Rhoads said we were as vannilla as can be, only running 3-4 calls on D all day.
