Went back and researched the UF losses to see correlations. Some keys to the game IMO:
1. Run the damn ball: in all of their losses (or close games) the opposing teams pounded the rock 25+ times. Bowser, Jrich, and MAR will get a heavy workload. I hope the oline is hitting the sled all week in preparation.
2. Make Emory beat us: thank god AR is sitting this one out, EJ is average and if we keep everything in front of us and make EJ have 10-12 play drives, that only benefits us.
3. Front 7 must dominate: building off point 2, the front 7 has got to dominate. Gotta get home to Jones and pressure him and also control the running game and get them into 3rd and longs.
What say you? I feel this game is manageable but will take a clean, high effort game from everyone on the team.
