It took me a while to find App on the field, not enough black.

Go read the Ragin Pagin board game thread. The progressive meltdown starting on page 30 something and continuing through the 10 minute drive is classic. I honestly feel for them. Crazy thing is, we were super vanilla and I think that burns worse for them.

Other than the one trick play we did not feed the TE or Sutton heavily. It seemed like we used about 40% of our playbook. I'm sure the coaches are saving some for South Carolina, Georgia Southern, and Troy.

I really don't think we were holding back any pages from the playbook. Their defense was just damn good. Also, their punting really helped their D play with confidence. But we found a way to get the W. That one trick was the worst thing I have ever seen.

It is a fact that we have not opened up the playbook fully yet. We have a lot that they worked on over the summer and spring that has yet to be used. How about misdirection plays with the TE, force feeding Sutton like we did against UNC some, etc. Thomas ran more last night than in other games but if you go look at all of our games so far and much of what we did in the bowl game there is still a good bit of plays we have not used.

To be fair, I don't think anyone has used everything they have at this point but outside of 3-4 plays the rest of it was things we have used this year.

I'm still waiting on us to go at Sutton like we should. Nobody in the SBC can stop him and yet he has not had a 100-yard, 2 TD type game yet. We all know he can.

We were considered underdogs, we won and we more than covered. We will jump into top 25, but unfortunately a single loss after that will bounce us.

I don't think it is a guarantee. I still think we are a week away from a simple win getting us in. We need some help. Baylor, Memphis, Texas A&M, and Cincinnati are all teams that could win and prevent us from getting in. This is why I never like the talk early. That win was a good one but we still did not have the dominant offensive performance I was looking for.

We will pick up votes but again we need several teams to lose for us to get in. This game won't get us 100+ points regardless of what others do.

A&M hosts Bama. UVA goes to Miami and Baylor plays Texas Tech. All could lose plus our old friend Coach Satt could help out by upsetting Wake.
