SMU at Tulane
Posted: Sun Sep 21, 2008 8:08 pmgreetings, I must saying I'm looking forward to seeing the new Pony team in person Thursday. Tulane - SMU games seem to typically be entertaining and hopefully this one will be.
After having Justin Willis be a player each CUSA team circled as having to try to gameplan for the last two years I am wondering why he hasn't seen been involved in the offense. Is he still in the doghouse or what?
Tulane's Defensive weakness's have been few and far between this year. I would have to say Tulane could be a bit faster at the CB position, though they tackles real well, and if you run the ball at the tackles of Tulane we are a bit undersized there. We get a lot of sacks though(led nation ins sacks per game going into last week). on Offense our running back is strong and durable but not a threat to break a long one. Our Qb is a pure pocket passer and is accurate with a good arm but has limited mobility. Our receivers seem to do a good job catching the ball, but are not great after the catch. Overall the O has done everything good, but nothing really well. The team has been very disciplined and efficient, with the exception of special teams which have been atrocious at times. Lastly our team has had trouble in the red zone.
the Ponies I see are a 14 underdog, but as I said earlier could find themselves in a good situation if they turn it into a track meet.
