ULL Predictions

[T1]

I've been looking over the stats. ULL is running the ball really well (239.7 yards per game). But we have been playing pretty good run defense (112 yards per game). Holtz said this will be the best rush offense we have played this year. Our strength vs their strength.

We have also been running the ball well (203.3 yards per game). But they have not been defending run very well (210.7). You would think Dixon should have a big day.

They do not pass the ball very well (200 yards a game), but our pass defense has not been very good (271 yards per game). Their weakness vs our weakness is interesting.

We do pass the ball well (319.3 yards per game) and they have been pretty good against the pass (210 yards per game). Another strength vs strength.

From a scrimmaging standpoint, it looks to be a pretty easy day for the offense, if we don't turn the ball over. We need to stop the run on defense and that's the biggest key to the game, imo. If they can run the ball, they can keep our offense off the field with long drives. If we force them to pass, I don't think that's what they are comfortable doing.

I think we will score a bunch: 45
And they will struggle to score more than us: 21

51-13. Without the threat of a passing game I don't see them being able to run on us. Couple that with their struggling D and I think we jump ahead early and they try to throw it to catch up resulting in 2 or 3 INTs.

Our defense practice against a better back, I think we shut down that Elijah McGuire kid.

I wouldn't characterize their Pass Defense as a strength...

I know, but the stats are good. But that's probably because everyone has been running the ball easily on them. Why pass?

[techman05]

I predict more points for us than them.
I predict 3 signs by Tech fans that say something about Ooh Lah Lah.
I predict 2 that say something about a "dash".
I predict a good nights sleep Saturday for all Dawg fans.

[Champ967]

Every year, Tech chokes in a home game that it woulda, coulda, shoulda won.

This is gonna be it. The Cajuns come out fired up. The Dawgs never quite put them away.

32-31 ooh la la, on a last second FG. It'll be NW State all over again. But with far less magnanimous visiting fans.

[tigtoo30]

Tech 35
ULALA 13

I will be chanting, "You Smell U-L-L"

Champ967, you are such a downer. Dawgs will not lose to USL.

I would love nothing more than to be wrong on this prediction.

But I have a bad feeling.

It is true that we need to get the "what the crap" games out of our yearly routine. We can get that done Saturday and I will feel pretty good about the trajectory of the rest of the season.

[PawDawg]

I have a bad feeling.

[champion110]

I think, even though they "were" definitely a good team, I think our "what the heck game" was WKU. We should have won that one. We, then, couldn't finish at KSU, but played well enough to win. I think Ooh La La comes out fired up as ever, but make some really stupid mistakes due to being so amped up.

My prediction:
Dawgs: 42
Leapards: 21 (2 TD's in the 4th with our starters out)

[alex.dog]

most teams have a "what happened?" game every year. ours was NSU last year, obviously. it could happen again: ULL is certainly better than NSU. but I am hopeful our guys are focused; I hope too many upperclassman to get caught looking ahead to anything. tech wins, 34-17
