We will get one offensive touchdown

and miss 2 fgs and make 2 fgs

I will spend the day mowing the yard and saving money for basketball trips by not being tempted to go to UTSA or Rice

0 - 0 at the end of regulation. Skip thinks that's close enough to a win and offers a Tie to FIU. FIU accepts and we fly home as non-losers.

This game is going to be a real "clash of the titans"...

I have three sons (all Tech grads) who live in Dallas, Miami and San Antonio. Yep, I will be at all three games.

If Dixon gets 150 or more yards, our chances of winning is pretty good. If he doesn't, we will likely lose again.

1 interesting stat for this game.

Returning starters from 2012:
La Tech: 8
FIU: 6

We are a favored road team which will make the loss sting just a little more.

I have that another way around in my "Perspective" thread:

Team	Returning Starters	New Coach	'12 W/L	'13 W/L	'12 PPG	'13 PPG	'13 Def PPG	'12 Def PPG
La Tech	6	Skip Holtz	9-3	2-5	51.5	17.7	29.2	38.5
FIU	8	Ron Turner	3-9	1-5	25.0	11.6	40.6	31.7

Did Holtz give you that stat?

He wouldn't want that info out. Takes away an excuse.

I think he meant the 150yd stat. Our offense feeds off Dixon's performance has become THE Holtz talking point. The guy is brilliant.

That's a nice way of saying he's all we have on offense. If you watch what a good DC does to us, I think they kind of agree with him.

The middle is open and we have guys who can catch in the middle. He needs to get Tim to work with our QB on how to look off a receiver.

Holtz is convinced that we can only pass outside. The guy is inept. He is determined to throw to #4.

Y'all are paranoid about Holtz. The Offensive Coordinator calls the play. Holtz is probably responsible for the tempo, but I bet Peterson is calling 90% of the plays and coordinating the offense.

But yes, let's try the middle... the outside isn't working.

Peterson: The middle is open with D.J. or Hunter.
Hotlz: The middle is too risky. Get it to #4. He will catch one sooner or later.

Listen to Holtz this week. He says we can't throw to the middle and MUST throw more to the outside. He is a loser.
