That depends. Will we see offensive linemen being pushed back and the pocket collapsing?

This, i'ts our bad offensive line vs. bad Uconn defense. I think we win out this week though.

No.  If anything I think Gilbert will be more conservative feeling he can run a basic game plan and put 40+ on them.  With our Oline nothing is a given.

Any chance we see Brad Cecil get any reps this week? I know he is a true freshman but he was pretty highly rated as a recruit and is listed as the Backup at Center.

Yea they have it looks like a horrible defense we should score 40+ with ease. 

Sagarin's computer rankings has UMASS 36 spots BELOW Elon. I will be very disappointed if our backups don't get some work in on Saturday.

I have to imagine he’s already been receiving reps. I believe he played some in the Elon game. Will have to go back and check the tape

Unfortunately I see more of the same.  I think this game will be closer than it should be.

Putting Gilbert and creativity in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

We don't need that much. They are probably going to sell out to stop the run, since it worked for ECU. They can't cover us downfield though, and I don't think they have the ability for their blitzes to hit home quickly / often enough for it to matter.

We will move the ball against these guys. This is probably a "need to pass in order to run the ball" game, and I suspect that we won't have a problem doing that. Especially if we come out of the gate slinging the ball and score quickly.

On the flip side -- our secondary should have very few problems covering these guys. If we limit their success on first and second down, this could get ugly really fast for UMass. My guess is we give up 3 or 4 20yd+ passes, but they fail to capitalize on the chuck yards due to inefficiency at moving the ball.

This is the type of game where our team speed will make these guys look silly... and the fake turf always seems to benefit the faster guys.

Is someone just recycling the threads from last season?  I swear I read this last year. :D

Tulane last year felt like the beginning of the end last year. Like the team was exhausted and let their foot off the gas. Wasn’t that always the thing with Leavitt and later season swoons? Yes depth was not great but practice was so overwhelming it wore them down.
