Must establish the run and wear down the UAB D-Line.....then open it up with some strikes down field...balance is the key.
Also, it won't be so much that I expect UAB to wilt in the 4th quarter, but MSU is bigger and stronger (can't really argue that look at the difference in our line compared to yours) and it is possible that your guys will simply run out of gas... |
UAB's OL is significantly larger than your DL...
MSU's OL is significantly larger than our DL. It's the same in both cases. UAB has some experienced players... we just don't have alot of depth of experienced players. I think only a handful of freshmen are actually starting for us, so we are only inexperienced in so much as we actually use the freshmen. I think UAB and
MSU will both be able to run pretty well.
For those of you thinking this will be easy, I refer you all to this thread from last year... a year in which UAB went 3-9 no less:
