Weather: so far windy the day before and after, rain possible.
On D: Seems like we have played the option/spread teams well this year. T-mart cant throw well anyway and it may be windy and or wet that day. If he throws it will be very short, we need to play really up close/tight, physical coverage. DL and LB's need to play somewhat like the Michigan game, except we need to plan for the late pitch out. Thats their bread and butter. Braska is going to bring all they have after they lost last week, that means we need to be VERY PHYSICAL and EXPECT THEM TO THROW EVERYTHING THEY HAVE INCLUDING THE KITCHEN SINK AT US, INCLUDING TRICK PLAYS. We need to limit breakdowns. Make no mistake they want this win, we need to want it more.
On O: With the weather, CJ picking it up and the fact I think they will try and rattle Vandy, I think a heavy dose of those plays might loosen things up for Coker and company. Vandy needs to be prepared to "shorten" it up a bit and take exactly what they give us. Nebraskas DL is thin and very runable against and they know this, so they will most likely try and crowd the los and bring pressure. Their secondary is somewhat suspect, but again wet or wind might play into it and help them out. With Rogers/Coker helping block out back, those short, "make you" pay plays could be our bread and butter. COACHES NEED TO MAKE CALLS TO WHAT THEY ARE GIVING. Execution and focus will be needed to get the win. Remember D minded coaches run an O that they find hard to cover.
Play hard boys, remember pain heals (you'll have a month after this), glory last forever (get this new "series" off to a good start) and chicks dig scars (and money and a big Johnson). ON IOWA, GO HAWKS!!
