From day one, Boom said ball control and defense is how he wants to win games.

You need look no further than last Saturday to see his intentions. We only passed 16 times. The time of possession is key to look at too.

We are not going to trounce anyone this year. It's just not his desire. I don't like it but with a less than stellar offensive roster he's doing what he thinks will win. It's a good strategy based on what we have to work with presently.

Does anyone really think we have the offensive horses to put up 50 on the likes of UT, USC, UG etc.

I'm not sure why anyone would mistake us for anything other than what we are right now.

If the D plays very well we will have a shot to win most of our games.

I will say that I'm please with the differences on offense from game 1 to game 2.
