Excited for the game! Some thoughts in the final hour before I log off for the day.
1. No JSN- IMO this is a good thing right now. He needs to get right and I doubt he ever will be this year. Hear me out though. It's good because CJ has a very good connection with Fleming, Harrison and Egbuka. Throwing JSN in contributed to our slow start with Iowa if you ask me. Then the minute he goes out our offense scores 4 straight drives.
Are we better without JSN? Hell no. However I'd argue we need to mix him in slowly. Not just because he can then get healthy but also so it doesn't screw with the chemistry either.
2. This is the stage for Marvin. He is going to go against the best corner he will face all year and that probably includes the playoffs (maybe Ringo?). It'll be interesting to see how he does today.
3. All the talk about their DBs and our WRs? Come out and run the ball. I haven't been popular the past 3 weeks with this take but if we can't run the ball we aren't hitting a few of our goals this year. We will not beat ttun in a month without kicking their asses physically. It'd be awesome to see us assert ourselves physically. I'm not saying 400 yards rushing but it'd be huge to hit 200.
4. And defense..... SMASH.
