I am not trying to say that definitively we should be favored. I think both of these games will be really tough for us simply because our D doesn't really match up well. However, our offense is like what Bama's defense has been for them the last few years. It always gives us a chance. I know CLEM has a really good DL. But I also know that when the reads are right, your QB is really quick, and the OL is coming off the ball, it can neutralize a great DL. We don't have to beat their DL, we just have to option them off appropriately.
I haven't watched the NCST replay yet, but I am not so naive to think that the next 2 games will be as easy. The Pack made things pretty simple for us. It won't be like that for the rest of November. However, we have shown we can control the game even against very good defenses already. I do not approach these games with any fear in the least bit. Even as a fan, I anxiously await the challenge and I stand behind our kids. This is where we prove to everybody that we are a team to be respected.
