Bye Week Prep

On D this week I’d love to see Guidry pump the breaks on blitzing and keep containment on the outside. Keep everything in front and force the ball to the sidelines.
If we can keep their O in check we should be fine.

So limit their offense and have ours continue on? Yep, that should do it

Hope not.

I want this team to use the Bye week as a dream vacation. The entire team needs to go on round trips to Bora Bora & Santorini, just relaxing drinking, Golfing, swimming, sight-seeing & taking it all in.

Put some of that unearned NIL money to good use & book some luxury 5-star hotel suites at the resort & eat exotic exquisite food all week.

I really really hope they come out slow, fat, tired & as unprepared as possible.

Instead of going down 35-10, it needs to be 49-3 with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter...

That way when we still figure out a way to win, it will make it that much more worthwhile & give you guys another week of wetting yourselves in nervousness.

I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number seven...
 
DL being fully rested is going to make all the difference. Between that, and Big G making adjustments after 2 weeks of prep for Loserville specifically, I don't think it's nearly as close as the last two. Rivers being back will just be icing.
 
I know we have looked awful after the bye week since 2017. In fairness to Mario and staff, our team was actually prepared and had a good game plan for the GT game last year. Our offense moved the ball at will and our defense held them in check for majority of the game.

I hate making excuses for a loss, but we really did shoot ourselves in the foot the entire game with turnovers, ridiculous, untimely penalties, and coaching blunders. Until the final 22 seconds of the game, our defense held GT's offense to 176 total yards. Our offense had put up over 450 total yards. Ten of GT's 23 points were on a short field. We basically throttled GT for the entire game, even though the final score didn't indicate that. Still makes me sick to this day.

The point is, we were actually prepared after the bye week, contrary to popular opinion. Just couldn't overcome TVD and one of the worst coaching mistakes of all time.

Broke the bye week losing streak! Hard to say our defense took advantage of the bye week and cleaned up what they needed to. Holding our breath every defensive position like the Dorito Days is not good

Just to save you from getting upset again this week, college teams can't just "clean up" what they need to simply because they have a BYE week. Your roster is what it is.
