re: Barion Brown is going to have a field day on Saturday.

Quick passing game wins this one. Neutralize the D Line.

Two or three deep shots when the safeties creep up. We have the speed to really handcuff their dudes.

I think the defenses make it a push game. Special teams finally gets back to right and Brown or Thomas leaves Clemson a superstar. Geaux Tigers.

If the Oline can keep it to under 6 sacks

Nuss was sacked more than twice in one gams last year, Florida.
0 sacks - 6 games (1 loss to USCw)
1 sack - 1 game
2 Sacks - 5 games (2 losses to Bama & aTm)
7 sacks - 1 game (1 loss to Florida)

if our OL can keep pressure off Nuss, our WRs against their DBs could very well be a mismatch

I tend to agree, but I do think if these sacks are spread out and not on 3rd down, we can still overcome. I mean, we gave up 6 to Florida last year and while we didnt win, we were still tied going into the 4th. We could have won that game.

I’m not sure if I would use that game as an example, especially considering UF was bottom 3 in the SEC in sacks going into the game. The OL injuries really killed us in that one.

7 WRs that will play in this game, plus 2 TEs. Match up nightmare.

I just can’t reasonably believe we play 6 to 8 linemen and 7 WR’s in there first game without numerous pre snap penalties that cost us this game.

If you offered me 6 right now, I’d probably take it.

You would be an awful negotiator

Yeah, we have almost zero chance of giving up 5 sacks and coming out of there with a win. “Under 6 sacks” is an absurdly low and unrealistic bar for the OL to give up and expect a win. 5 sacks probably means 10+ pressures, which would mean we’re in 2nd and 3rd and long all night, which will likely lead to a couple of picks.

Somebody mentioned “the Joe Brady offense” (like “his offense” is the only one that has the QB get rid of the ball quick). The offense we run is just fine. Nuss is actually really good at getting the ball out quickly. We talk about how good our OL was last year in pass pro, and they were. Just look at how few sacks we gave up the entire year.

HOWEVER, a lot of that was Nuss getting rid of the ball quickly, and not just throwing it away to avoid sacks. I saw/heard some stat where Nuss was either lead the country or was 2nd in either competition % or QB efficiency on plays where he was pressured. So he was not just getting rid of the ball quick to avoid sacks, he was actually completing passes.

And with another year under his belt, there’s no reason not to expect that to be just as high if not higher. So if they bring a lot of pressure, but don’t get home, with the speed we have at WR, that should make for a ton of explosives. One thing we haven’t really talked about is dropped passes. We can’t afford many, if any. Especially if they’re turning long TDs into punts.

6 sacks?

If he gets sa ked 6 times we are toast.
