displayed during the first three weeks? Line up, pound the ball even when the box is stacked and then try to play action a little off the run.

Defensively, these three teams will be the top three defenses we face all year and I have doubts that strategy will work against these three teams.

UF and Bama probably can be contained by our defense, but Arky will put up some points against us.

What makes you think Arkansas will be a top 3 defensive team we face?

But I kind of agree. I think we may get away with it against Florida and Arky, but against Bama, they will shut down our run.

qb play is improving.
RBs get stronger as the game goes along
Oline play is solid too.
MFord needs to imprvoe on pass blocking.

Im more concerned about field position with kickoffs and punts than anyting else.

It depends on how many points our defense allows.

If we hold all those teams under 17 to 21 points... I would say we have a shot to win with that offensive philosophy.

probably not. The offense needs to be opened up a bit. Can JL beat these 3 teams.

Once again, someone has not watched Bama 2009.

miles is not going to try and score a lot of points if he doesn't have to - witness last nite.

he could have let lee throw passes for td's all nite long, but he was content against Moo state to take what they were giving and control the game.

from what i've seen, miles will adjust somewhat when he thinks he needs to score more. you will get the same philosophical approach, he will try to score as much as he needs to win. He is just not a light up the scoreboard guy.

The prudent thing to do last night was to pound the ball and eat up the clock. Their offense was doing NOTHING. I think we will open it up more as the season progresses. But as long as it works, I say keep doing it!

The offensive strategy is to grind the other team down, and take advantage when they stack the box. Miles don't necessarily care about scoring on every possession. Maybe they would like to, but sometimes they just play for field position, and try to stay on the field long enough for the D to rest. We've got the speed and talent on D to bail out the O when they struggle.

I think we'll struggle when we go up against a D that can penetrate our line and consistently make us go 3 and out. That will mean less rest for the D and less opportunities for the O to make a play.

What we really need to work on is our special teams play. That is where we can really shoot ourselves in the foot.

Offense is better this year than last, and we beat some of those teams last year, so yes.
