    Darby should run for the hole and quit trying to juke and jive all the time. That dude is side-stepping from the second he touches the ball.

    That is because he has had to side-step to avoid the defenders who are already in the backfield. One thing that is overlooked unless you've followed this team very closely is that most of the yardage KD has had comes after contact.

    Believe you me, it is something I've been talking about for getting over two years now.

    The way your O has failed to score any touchdowns in the last two games is the key stat. I don't care if Darby gets 150 yards if he can't get across the goal line.

    Our boys will be ready to play this week. All we have to do is Tackle better and we will be alright.

    Actually, I think you meant the last two SEC games...but never the less, you couldn't be more correct. The only saving grace this team has had is we haven't allowed a TD in the last 5 games..(at least that's what a writer told me from the T-town News this morning...I haven't looked it up to be sure but I know it's been close to 20 qtrs.)

    I really don't care what each has done up to this point, both teams will come to play. Neither team looked real
    good this weekend, I don't think it will have any impact
    on our upcoming game.
    I look to a low scoring game with the difference coming
    from turnovers and special teams play. The team that can
    stay away from turnovers and make a big play in special
    teams should win.
