Their confidence is higher, their focus is better. Without that game IMO we'd have minimal chance vs SMU. You know as well as I do that spring & summer ball is mostly about conditioning and learning--rubber doesn't hit the road until real-time games. Believe what you want, but now especially with the bye and the chance to heal & address fixable issues, I think we'll have a chance in our first conference game. I ALWAYS hope we win. And I am no expert in football. But I didn't see much on offense to give any great hope. Some hope? Yes. But that Offensive line is well, you know, offensive. Looking at ESPN's play by play for the game we had 97 yards rushing in the last drive. https://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay?gameId=401117866. According to the box score we had 218 total. Do the math. In 56 1/2 minutes we ran the ball for 121 yards vs SC STATE. People can draw their own conclusions after watching that game. I saw a lot of the first half of last year. We won the games but they failed the eye test. I'm not walking into Ray Jay expecting us to be within 17 of SMU and they may suuuck but they are probably better than the team we just beat. Hope to God I'm wrong and I really hope that McCloud is the answer offensively but I didn't see enough Saturday. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something they'll definitely have to plan around, but I think we have a mobile enough QB and KB is capable of options (as opposed to SG) if/until that unit pulls it together. Honestly feel we're in a better situation than last year--then I'll say it's still all hope til it's real...or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to have to come up with different ways to run the ball than up the middle at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, I've been told that Dallas-Ft Worth area has as many distractions as Tampa Bay does so you could have found a nice beach to chill at ....
