We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Re: Offense or Defense
I like O first with higher level of competition. Score and try to put pressure.

Re: Offense or Defense
What puts us at a disadvanatge with what plays we call...Bob Shoop has seen it all. Including 2 years against Ohio State and their offense. Like you suggested...We will need to be creative, and not predictable with what plays we call. I think our defense mixed with Tennessee's offensive mindset will keep it close by the half. Then I think Tennessee does a better job adjusting, and comes out exploiting our weaknesses that they missed in the first half. God I hope I am wrong and we win. haha.Rekdiver wrote:Tennessee intends to pound the ball down our throat. I'd take the ball first even if its a 3 and out. My 1st series would be play action Cox in the flat. TE over the middle and a fake reverse with Cox holding the ball. Or i might get Taylor to give a pump fake on a double move and go looooong............Priority is a 1st down. Give our defense a chance to calm nerves. I hope Our Special teams are ready to cover some kicks.

Re: Offense or Defense
Win the toss, defer, onside kick and get it back, then Cox gets 55-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage.

Re: Offense or Defense
I am not usually averse to going on offense first, but based on what I'm hearing out of camp (no insider info....just on here and in the reports), the D is further along than the O at this point. I think we put the D out there and let them set the tone of the game. If they can get a stop, it will create momentum for the Offense.
Bottom line is that, either is fine as long as we go out there and execute. I know we are heavy underdogs in this game, but for some reason I'm feeling pretty good about it.
