Our offense will throw all over, with a few runs here and there from our RB and FB to keep you honest. Expect a LOT of 5-10 yard passes to the TE's who have great hands, good speed, and height. They'll throw those, and then try to get you to bite on that so the WR can get open down field.

Rusty is very accurate and has great arm strength. Couple that with the athelticsim of our recieving core it makes a nice combination.

I'm not expecting the W, but I think well move the ball very well. Whether we execute in the Red zone is the question as well. We drove to the Red Zone three times on Texas but walked away with 2 turnover and only 3 points. Execution will be the key to finishing our Drives.
Luckily, one of the strengths of our LB's is that if an opponent does catch the ball in that 5-10 range, they are quick enough to swarm and limit or eliminate YAC. Otis Wiley does a good job in support of this as well. If you guys can't keep our LB's honest with a run game (Like Cal did) then those 5-10 yard passes won't be there.
