Mainly the offensive line, I'm curious as to how well it will hold up. We gave up 6 sacks to Montana and that is bad now those can't all be blamed on the OL Kirk lacked movement and pocket awareness.
Outside of that going to watch 55/50 ready to see these ends start making a difference.
I agree, I'm curious how the OL does in this one. I think run blocking again won't be a problem, but the question is the pass blocking. If they can handle AFAs 3 down lineman and the LBs, I think Kirk will show far more improvement.
Rufran had a big game against AFA last year aswell, I'm curious if he breaks a few long gainers in this one.
The one thing I noticed was none of the WRs could make any yardage after their catches against Montana, so I'm curious to see if Rufran and Claiborne can utilize their speed in this one and get down field after a catch.
I think Wick and May can do what they did last week again. I watched a few times where Nicholls OL opened up some significant holes against a AFA, and even with the questions in our own OL, I believe our OL is far more superior to Nicholls.
I want to see how AFAs OL can fare against Uso and the rest of our DL. I really think we have the pieces in place to break down AFAs OL. AFA is gonna have their hands full with Yarbrough, Mertens, Olive, and Puletasi. Each one of those guys pretty much need to be doubled down on to be stopped! And if AFA struggles with those front men, then Stanton and Nzeocha, Harris and potentially Wacha will have a field day getting to the corners to stop the option.
White showed that he can break off coverage and get to the ball on a run last week aswell.
The big thing on D is containment, but I'm hoping to see some turnovers also in this one.
The X factor- the crowd. I'm really hoping for a rowdy 22-25k there for Saturday night.
