I thinks USU is better than State, so this week should be an easy win.

You can talk out your arse on almost every post, but I do it occasionally and it confuses you.

My mind says "no way can those defensive problems be fixed in one week", we lose. My gut says that I will be pleasantaly surprised at the improvement and we'll have a good chance.

Exactly how I feel right now. Logic would indicate that our defense needs a LOT of adjustments one way or another, and expecting it to get done by gametime on Saturday when they had the whole offseason to fix work things out just seems silly.

But, we've also seen a lot crazier things happen since Chizik has been on the Plains, week after week, so why would this be any different?

I think the biggest change to the AU defense that will help will be scheme and aggressiveness. When AU stood back and let the play develop in front of them, it was already too late and USU got good gains. When the D "just played", the D looked halfway decent. Unfortunately, there were not many "just played" times. The kids looked like they were scared to mess up. I'm hoping that was just nerves and lack of confidence, which will come around with time.

Edit: We may develop into a decent D by game 8-9, but not getting my hopes up.

Anyone who watched us play on Saturday and would still put money down to beat a top 10 team simply doesn't value their money.


Meh.

Boise > SC. And it's really not that close. I don't expect UGA to win (though I wouldn't be shocked), but it'll be a much closer game.

You're going to want to be real liquored up for this one because it's going to be a puckered up nail biter in the fourth.

I could see MSU beating Auburn badly and not taking their foot of the gas.

I know Auburn is young, but they looked small and weak. I was expecting to see some really good looking players with those recruiting classes. Based on what I saw Saturday they will be embarrassed this week.
