Tulane is Next

[DC Bee]

I want Jabari to make more of an impact. Didn't see a whole lot from him Thursday night.

As somebody else stated in another thread, we'll never know what defensive scheme was called, as JH played like his job was to contain the line against the run, and he drew many double-teams. On one LB blitz play he cleared out a very nice lane for Davis. Doing all that is a very quiet impact. Let's see what happens when teams try to run on his lane.

He learned from failed Vad experiment we need to do what we do best.

Thanks, but that really has nothing to do with what I'd like to see. The June Jones Run and Shoot is the basis for the passing plays in our base offense. Our fourth TD drive against Alcorn State was three passes from this playbook.

I'll leave this here:

California 73, Grambling State 14
Louisiana Tech 62, Southern 15
Middle Tennessee 70, Jackson State 14
New Mexico 66, Mississippi Valley State 0
Cincinnati 52, Alabama A&M 10

So, are you suggesting that we need to put SWAC champion into context?

I understand that concept, but I want to see him lose his mind after a sack or big hit. I think he's respected enough to get the entire team fired up after a big collision.

I think a lot of that was on Vad. I have confidence that that JT can run the base and auxiliary plays & execute.

I agree that the problem there was more in not making the reads and not making the base plays.

I think we will see how far our team has come in a year with Tulane as the measuring stick.

I like that we threw the ball around a little (unnecessarily) against Alcorn. We should use this game to throw it around a lot more.

Also, I really don't care how many points we score. Let's leave the first team O out there until we've seen enough. If we blow out Tulane, so be it. This is all about getting our first team O ready for South Bend. That's it. They need more reps.

Defense? Sacks? I don't care. Stops on 3rd and long? Again, I don't care. Just play some D. Don't lose the game. Get the necessary reps in so we're ready for the season.

No thanks. I've seen enough of smoov to know that he doesn't need to RUTS on Tulane.

No thanks. I've seen enough of smoov to know that he doesn't need to RUTS on Tulane.

He plays with 10 other guys. The offense needs reps to come together as a unit. If the first team O plays a quarter and take the bench, that isn't a good thing.

I just want everyone to stay healthy. I truly believe if we stay healthy we will go undefeated this year

 

[GlennW]

No injuries; play hard, fast, and "clean" (no turnovers or penalties); exert your will/dominate both Lines of Scrimmage; GET turnovers. Also try to stay "vanilla" so you won't have to tip your hand for any new formations going forward.

 

[Buzzbomb]

GT opens at -27.5 and it is now rising, may go over as a 30 pt. favorite.

 

[GTonTop88]

Tulanes QB is not bad if he has time, hopefully he won't. I wanna see the DL in the backfield all game.

 

[gtg936g]

Tulane will try to take some shots down the field. It should be a better test for our secondary

 

[JacketFromUGA]

I feel like Tulane has taken a step back from last year.

 

[CuseJacket]

You were right. Line is 30 now.

Notre Dame currently favored by 10.5 at Virginia.

 

[gtg936g]

We will find out how good the ND Is against a blitz after next week. Tenuta will bring the heat.

 

[Longestday]

Keep in mind the Duke Tulane score was 16 to 0 through the end of the 3rd quarter. Not that this means anything...

 

[Wrecking Ball]

If nothing else, for those who know, does it help our coaches prep when they have game film vs. a common opponent?

 

[Nixon_Corral]

I think this game will be a much more interesting "warm up" than Alcorn State was. I'll be interested to see some more of the first team offense and defense, but I'd also like those guys to stay healthy. Won't bother me if they're out before the half.
