He was one of the only players to mostly show up on D last week.

Dang that's brutal. Need Hood and Bryant to step up, hopefully Tomi being back helps out.

Give me back my Afta, heh heh
Do we know if Kaliakmanis will play?
Significant I think.

Can we just bury a team? Defense step up and win this 41-17!
Dino(WR) is brother to Athan the QB.

OK, my mistake then.
Rosiak loss hurts.
But I think we respond today. Bret has a lot of pride and that pulsates through the program. As bad as our D and body language looked against Washington, we looked twice as bad against Indiana. And we came back and probably played our best game of the season vs USC. And as good as good as USC played we were 2 ill timed fumbles (and one that probably wasn’t a fumble) from winning that game comfortably.
Think our run game shows up. We control the clock. We come out more agressivr on D and make enough plays (some combo of TFL, sacks, a couple of turnovers) to win 31–20.

My exact thoughts. I'd like to see Hampton...for the right reason.

Remember! As long as we have our next top 4 corners, we have a strong chance to lose this game!

Alright, let's get back to our winning ways. Need to get pressure on Kaliakmanis. He's a mess when he gets pressured but us an actually competent quarterback when he has hours to throw so dropping 8 against him and just letting him stand there would just play into his strengths. So hopefully Henry came into this one with a significantly different gameplan. Offense needs to score early and often and hopefully we can get ourselves a running game. Just win this one.
