I think we can run on them and if they crowd the box make them pay as you point out. This should be a high scoring affair, as both teams have good offenses. Memphis D is better than it's been the last year or two, but teams with less firepower than Tulane have put up some points.Bicoastalwave wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2019 3:06 pm Apparently no one actually wants to discuss the game. This is the game that Cam & Patrick need to find their extra gear and make themselves felt. We need to get after Brady and force him into turnovers. That in addition to McMillan being decently consistent with his throws will be the keys to the ballgame. Memphis will crowd the box as their run defense is vulnerable. Time for Mcclesky, Mooney, amare in the slot and our TE’s to have a big game and make them pay. They will be open, as long as McMillan can get them the ball.

All in, I think we can be 300+ yards both passing and rushing once again. No turnovers, or win the turnover battle and we win the game.
Agree. This is the kind of game in the past our QB comes out a little jittery & too excited. But this year we’ve made a habit of kicking Lucy in the head and drop kicking the ball throw the uprights, may it continue . . . Forever.winwave wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2019 3:13 pm Memphis still has issues on their O-line so we should see PJ and Cam make a lot of noise. Not sure if they can top the 7 sacks from last year. but I'd love to see it. As to JM hopefully he's not too pumped to the point of being off the mark. We'll run on them but he's got to take advantage of the openings in the passing game that he's going to get.
It’s the toughest in the nation if you take out Tulsa (24-5)Bicoastalwave wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2019 3:19 pmCant wait for Saturday !DfromCT wrote: ↑Thu Oct 17, 2019 3:12 pmI think we can run on them and if they crowd the box make them pay as you point out.

I just came across this stat:
“In fact, Tulane is plagued with the nation’s fifth toughest remaining schedule as their final six opponents are a combined 26-9.”

I agree. I think Huderson is more physical, like Bradwell, and Jones and Dauphine are burners that do better on the edge.galvezwave wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 11:05 am Probably not a popular opinion on here, but I like huderson in that punishing ball carrier role. Not as big as bradwell but he likes contact and runs hard .
I hear what you're saying and agree. But he's also a streaky passer, and when he's hot he's tough to stop. But I worry as Memphis may have the most talented secondary he's seen to date. He cannot be floating passes.anEngineer wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 2:17 pm I'd feel better if McMillen were a little more accurate passer. He definitely looks better running than passing.

And isn't this all that really matters?
No doubt, he's a leader, he makes things happen when it counts (reference Houston) and the players really look up to him. It's just some of those wide open throws that sail overhead or into the turf.galvezwave wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 3:25 pmDfromCT wrote: ↑Fri Oct 18, 2019 2:30 pmI hear what you're saying and agree.

He’s up to around 58% on completions this season. Think it around 51% last year. Probably mid 60s without auburn. He’s improved .plus he’s like 10-2. So there’s that.
