Baiscally, my team runs the pro-set. Sometimes they will show pistol and go to a shotgun if the rush is too strong. there is no option package and they don't have enough speed to sweep around the edge and get the corners. Passing will be done in unusual platoon fashion, alternating between Potter and Gray. Both have wheels and can run if they play breaks down. Both will run from a QB run designed play. If you have good team speed, I don't think you have much to worry about. They are pretty orthodox in their play calling. The first play of the game will be a Tyler Erving off tackle dive play, probably for zero yards. That's just to soften up the line and set up the pass. Now I know you guys are worried about our #2 back in the Nation, Tyler Ervin, but he's not a powerhouse (only 177lbs). He's got some quicks but needs to get to the second level to be a real threat. My guess is you guys won't allow him to get to the second level. So I predict he'll have a pretty mundane outing of maybe 70-80 yards. I'd be surprised if he broke 100. We use a lot of West Coast formations, with Tripps Left/Right, 3 receiver diamond breakouts, and tight-end slot receivers, to get favorably match-ups and get people open since we don't have any true speed burners in our receiving corp. I think they are all 4.7 - 5.0+ 40 yard guys.

The Defense is stout and we have some Samoans on the team who are pretty ferocious tacklers, but we have no real pass rusher who can breakthru and sack your guy. If we get a sack, it will be a coverage sack where our secondary has your WRs locked down, but that should only happen once or twice in the game. The boys do swarm to the ball, so they should minimize your rushing attack.

We are average on special teams. We haven't run a kick-off back for a TD in many years, and the kicker used to be very accurate for FGs, but has dropped off this year.

My final score prediction:

Auburn 37
SJS 10
