Beating N.C. State isn't enough. |
The Volunteers piled up a ton of big plays in their win, but the running game continues to worry me. It was a disaster last year, and the 191 yards piled up against
With Tennessee' s
weapons at wide receiver, it is pretty obvious the Vols are a pass first
offense, but we have to run the ball.
Despite the changes in the game in recent years, the Southeastern
Conference remains a league where teams have to run the ball for success. It does not matter if teams pass 60 percent
of the time. At some point this year, we
are going to have to convert a crucial first down late in the fourth quarter.
The Georgia
State game should be a
good time to pound the rock. We should
be able to win this game easily, but do not get too upset if the coaches tone
down the offensive fireworks to focus on a more meat and potatoes rushing
effort.
It may dull the fun a little, but it should pay off in the
long run. After all, who do we really
want to beat? Georgia State ? Or Georgia ,
Florida , South Carolina
and Alabama ? The answer is obvious.
