IS this the same old Dawgs?

Jury's still out, but we got a big one Saturday.

The Spurriers made obvious some glaring deficiencies within our offensive and defensive lines. Is it time to panic? Certainly not. Just because we are making some changes on the OL this week doesn't mean the coaches are panicing either. Change is necessary for improvement and unless you missed last Saturday's scrimmage, change is a necessity. I firmly believe, as do the coaches, that we have the talent level on our roster to be one of the best OL's in the country. Keep tinkering and we shall see marked improvement.

As far as the DL is concerned I saw a stat today that made my frown turn upside down. Through 6 games last year we had 9 sacks. 9!!!! in 6 games against mostly weaker competition. We ended the season with 40 plus sacks. After 3 games this year we are ahead of last years pace with 6. I will admit that that is nowhere close to what it needs to be, but if we follow last seasons pattern we should start picking it up sooner rather than later.

Now on to Arizona St.

Boy are these boys going to be pissed, right? Coming off a loss to Grand Mama, Stacey "plastic man" Augmon and the UNLV Runnin' Rebels these fella's know they got something to prove. What? Wrong sport? You got me, Jerry Tarkanian's basketball rebels of the early 90's would possibly beat the 2008 version of the UNLV football team. This makes me wonder, how in the world did a top 20 team that could score on anybody lose to a team that got blasted by Utah (not too bad) and scraped by Utah State (horendous)? I'll tell you how, GEORGIA. I'm not saying they were looking ahead to the Dawg's coming to town, but they were looking ahead to the Dawg's coming to town.

They are saying this game is going to be played in Arizona but from everything I'm hearing on the radio and TV it might as well be the ol H E double hockey sticks. They're saying it's going to be 198 degrees out there. That's not Farenheight. No, not even Celsius. It's Kelvin. Do you know how hot that is? Well neither do I. I'm guessing just past smeltering.

If, and that is a large, bold and italicized IF, we can play up to our abilities, get pressure on Rudy and dominate in the run game, catch catchable balls and adjust to the heat, we will win. We will win big.

I'm saying we won't do all those things, but we will do enough of them to win.

Dawgsontop, 31-13.
