[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 969263, member: 1776"] The issues at the beginning of the season are largely the same one as now. On offense we do not run the ball well. Against FBS opponents King is our leading rusher - over 40% of our yards against FBS opponents (and our leader in ypc by alot). We avg only 4.6 ypc (Which is brought up by King's rushing). On defense our front 7 is lacking and are unable to stop the run with any consistency. I don't think it was by accident that the BC coach said he wanted to run more in the second half. King had some TO issues at A&M. He still has them here, but that said he is still a big upgrade from last season and is our primary weapon on offense. Without him we might be 1-6. I also think opponents have largely figured out Faulkner's early tendencies. Remember, no one had film on him at the beginning of the season - now they have half a year. They know his tendencies, they know the capabilities of our players. FWIW, I think this team ends up 5-7. Don't ask me which 2 games they will win though as I wouldn't hazard a serious guess. It would also help if the program could start playing well at home. Key is 1-4 against FBS opponents at Bobby Dodd (with a 4 game losing streak). In the last 4 1/2 seasons GT has 5 wins at Bobby Dodd over FBS teams (and 4 of those had losing records). Avg 1 home win per season over FBS opponents is not going to get a fanbase excited. [/QUOTE]
