[QUOTE="Stonewall, post: 75634, member: 795"] think there were 5 total passes--2 for long TDs. and, i don't mean short passes with long runs but long passes right on the money to WRs. the only dropped pass would have been a TD. the receiver was so open he dropped the friggin ball. oops! ellison's 1st pass was a gorgeous over the shoulder TD pass to WR he hit in stride. couldn't have been better thrown. we always knew he had an arm but it just wasn't used under monken. as with GT it was run, run, run, then throw on the usual down and distance that even stevie wonder knows is coming. ellison only played about a third of the game and rotated quite a bit with the back up, upshaw, during the first half. the 3rd string QB played the majority of the 2nd half. the new O still has flashes of the old one. yes, it's outta the gun but still a good bit of option. southern has speed to burn at all O skill positions and a very seasoned OL who've played together for years. big, big strength of the team. breida is the starting RB. speedster. if he gets to the 2nd level he's a threat to go the distance with a hint of daylight. a number of solid receiving targets underutilized when monken was at the helm are getting to show their true talent with fritz onboard. this O will put up a lot of points this season if they stay healthy. the big question mark is going to be depth of the D. it bit the eagles in the butt versus NC state. i've been to some scorching games but that was one of the hottest contests i've ever sat through. ZERO breeze and every bit of 100+ temps at field level. you've gotta be able to sub in fresh DL on days like that. i read that state was rotating 8 DL consistently. with southern's move up, they're still building up to 85 schollies. i think they're around 70 schollies on the current roster (somewhere in that neighborhood). it takes a few years in transition to build up the necessary depth--particularly on D. i know folks last year liked to talk about how hurt FL was when we suited up versus them but the eagles were even more decimated of talent. i think monken said after the game we had 40 scholarship players available to play. so, the idea FL was beat up and southern was at full strength couldn't be further from the truth. we were a MASH unit out there. i'm anxious to see how both teams fair this weekend. i'm not making any bets one way or the other. i do know if GS plays to their potential, it's a winnable game. if GT plays to their potential southern shouldn't be within two TDs at the end.
