Going out on a limb with 32. Arkansas State was throwing all over them and I think Mullen will see this.

That's a hard one......I think it will depend on how well the option game with Relf works against the Auburn D which is always stout, but I'm going to take theover and go with 30.I expect to see every type of screen and motion known to man in this game, and I definitely expect to see the TE position utilized a lot more.

stuff back, IMO. I think Auburn played it really close to the vest also, so hopefully we are prepared for that.

Given that, Ark St was throwing on them so the logical expectation is for Russell to also. I expect a pick from Russsell becuase I think they will confuse him. Mempho should have had one. Still, I';d try to throw it 30 times. If their DBs had trouble with aRk St, they'll have troulbe with Hevans and Bumphis.

I just have such tremendous expectations from Mullen. I expect us to score 30 and think Mullen will make it happen. It's his own fault, but he is a damn good O coach. It's jsut insane waht he has truned our offense into compared to what it was when he arrived. And this is year 2!!

Any time the offense is mentioned, John Hevesy should get a shout out because of what he's done with that Oline. Those guys look like big uglies, and they're finally playing like big uglies.

I'd put the over/under of passes thrown by Russell at 5- he just isn't going to play that much tomorrow. He played alot more than the offensive staff had planned because Memphis was so terrible and it was a good way to get him some live reps. He made the most of it.


We are going to run alot more tomorrow and have added some wrinkles to the option game we didnt run last year. Big dose of "Ralph" coming Auburn's way to control the football.

Our pass protection was amazing. It did seem like we had trouble running the ball in the 4th quarter when we just trying to finish the game. We may have had in backups in at that point I really do not know.

According to Herm Edwards there will be a big dose of "Reese" coming Auburn's way.

(a) the option game will be that effective, or;
(b) we are trying to minimize the chances for INT's that are begging to be thrown by our QBs

I was thinking along the lines of 10 passes each.

as everybody saw, we barely evened opened up the playbook. We also showed what we can do this season if people want to crowd the LOS and put 8 in the box. Ralph's TD pass to Berry was a great example of that- people talk about the defender falling down, but that was the F/S having to bust his *** to get over there because they were in man/free coverage (man coverage with one safety free to break on the ball) and Berry's man busted up to jump on the bubble screen.

I spent all offseason talking about how Ralph wasnt going to dazzle anybody with his completion percentage (although it was great Saturday), but that we would have alot more big plays this season in the passing game because of 8 man fronts. That play was the perfect example.

Ralph played less on Saturday because Memphis was horrible and it was a great chance to get Russell live reps. Don't expect Russell much tomorrow night

This is the way c34 has to answer to keep bets? and predicitions of 30 td passes on track. Russell can only be in on two series according to the words ecthed at the bottom of the ten commandments. I think that Mullen and c34 are not on the same page in the play book so I will take at least Russell and fourteen.
