Keys to beating TCU

[Iceman]

No turnovers. Instead, lets create some. Three would be ideal.

Establish the run. If we run the ball like we did last week, we will be fine.

Creat some pass rush. Need to get to the QB. He is a senior but has little experience.

Protect our QB. Strength of TCU is their pass rush/blitzing. We need to do a good job of picking that up.

We do those four things, we win.

Would be so nice to beat those Frogs in Ft. Worth. It's about time.

I'm right there with you, Iceman - beating the little froggies would be awesome with a capital A!

A slight amendment to one of your keys: not only do we need to get to Stilley (LB blitzes?), but we also need to physically beat him around. I'm not saying to cheap-shot the guy, but we need to bruise him up a bit to make sure he's looking over his shoulder every time he drops back.

We also need to contain LaTarence Dunbar. He's killed us in the past.

Don't forget NT John Turntine. He doesn't look as impressive as McDonald, but he's always around the ball and seems to make a ton of plays. Also, he occupies blockers, freeinup running oom for McDonald and the rest of the LBs.

Iceman,
Did you figure all that out on your own? Wow! Your are right with what we need to do, but what it really boils down to is the O-Line. I really think that our defense is going to be able to contain their offense, if they can play the way they did against Tech. But what we need is for our O-line to not only do their jobs, but be a@#holes about it. These guys have talent, but they will become twice as good as they are now when they adjust their attitudes. And for the record, I'm not talking about all of them. Some of these guys have the right idea.
