we need for mullen to push exactly the right buttons this satuday. on critical 3rd downs where we have to pick up the 3rd, we need to spread everybody out and run the draw right at the weakness of the defense. We need to play to our strengths by using plays that we, as a system, execute well with consistent results, and above all, we need dak to be a playmaker and game manager when the passing game doesnt open up like we want. if we continue to force it in there with poor reads and inaccuracy, lsu is going to make us pay. manage the game, dont throw it when its not there, and pic up critical downs with dak's legs with special emphasis on spreading out the defense. Mullen has a lot of pressure this week in dialing up the right play, breaking tendencies while keeping plays that have a high rate of success, and making sure the right players are on the field when we need them. dak making good decisions is critical.

its grind time my good friends...

I'm calling it now, if we get inside the 5 yard line and go to a Jumbo-PowerI-Dak-Under-Center look (like we did against USM and South Alabama), Mullen should be canned on the field.

special teams, special teams, special teams

I won't beat the dead horse that is our inability to make field goals, but special teams will be huge. (Jackie where are ya when we need ya) We have got to be able to flip the field with good punts and pin them deep whenever we don't convert those third downs. Our kick offs and coverages have been fine. Bell kicks it inside the ten but he gets really good air time on it and we have been able to stop teams from getting past the 20, therefore I am not so worried about making it to the end zone every kickoff. Just keep doing what we have been doing and we could pin them down. Having them start on there own 15 or 10 yard line would be prime. On the flip side, we don't need to return any kick off that makes the end zone. Just take the damn thing at the 25. Ok I said I wouldn't beat the dead horse but we will have to make a field goal to win this game.....step up kickers. Sacrifice a live chicken, put all your change in your left pocket, untie your left shoe.....don't think just kick!
