I have met JT. I don't think he is much of a fan. He didn't believe me Friday when I said BLM' pass efficiency rating would be 20 points higher than any other game this year. Suck it, b!tches!

Seiously, jt is a good loyal beaten down mustang fan.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I knew that was coming. I thought we abandoned the rating and just went with the "observably better" standard. I guess with no INTS you'd win that one too.

Stallion wrote:with Rickey Dobbs its a little bit more complicated than just who takes the QB-Rickey Dobbs will run at every gap on the field. Usually you think of the option QB with the option to keep or pitch depending on what the DE does. Watch a Navy Game-Dobbs runs behind Center, runs at the guard gap, runs at the tackle gap and then he options to the back or runs around end. Dobbs loves to run the interior of the line which what makes him so hard to defend.


very true, and they have added a few wrinkles aforementioned with the line; Dobbs is a perfect fit for Ken's version of flexbone. this Navy offense is a little different in design (than what PJ did last 3 years there), more like early Wagner years at University of Hawaii. Playing this team straight up makes for along night. The staff understands this. Also, Ken was and always has been a fan of Dutch Meyer, he develops some of the bread/butter plays of the flexbone a little differently.

SMU will need to be discliplined on both sides of the ball to beat this Navy team. Hopefully they will keep focus, but remember what happened in Annapolis last year and play 4 qtrs. It will be hard to rattle Dobbs, but as mrydel suggested, he needs to experience more than wear and tear in this game. I imagine that Yenga will have double duty depending on the play call, and Davis/Reed will get some quality reps. Flemming and Fleps have skill sets that fit well for situational downs.

The bottom line is we will have very few limited offensive series in the whole game to even try to win this game and every one will have to be efficient and opportunistic, with hopefully no mistakes because we do NOT want to try to play 'catch up ' with Dobbs and his offense, as the clock will run out before we will.

I think -- maybe -- this defense stacks up better against Navy than the D of years past. Primarily because we have two gi-normous DEs to contain and two OLBs lined up outside them to string plays out to the sideline.

Maybe they'll drop Hudman in as a 5th pseudo linebacker.

I've been offline for awhile. What's the 411 on Bell? I'd like to have him back, as he's a physical presence at CB.

Two concussions in 4 weeks (second one in TCU game)...probably out for the season. Better safe than sorry.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Let me preface this by saying I do not know X's and O's from R's and Z's but it seems to me that having 4 linebackers would help widen the field moreso than four linemen who are engaged immediately after the snap. Isn't spreading out the play a good way to defend the option? I mean I guess your safeties have to come up and do their job too, but they have to do that in the 4-3 as well.
