Well, the weather has decided to cooperate by holding off the rain until this evening, so the team and the Sanford Stadium crowd have that going for them today. That said, (1) it’s a nooner; (2) it’s the second preseason game, this one against a middling MAC team; (3) and the main offensive kink from the opener the Dawgs need to work on is running the ball against a stacked box.
In my mind, that doesn’t add up to covering a 42.5-point spread. Not that I think Kirby GAS about that.
Today is going to be about polishing last week’s rough edges and taking one last, deep look at personnel before the SEC schedule kicks in next week. I’ll be curious to see how many of the missing from the opener play today [NOTE: McConkey won’t be among them.] and I’ll be hoping nobody new joins the ranks of the injured. Other than that, I just want to see the kind of improvement you expect to see from a well coached team going from week one to week two. Anything over that is gravy.
You guys can pitch in with your comments, of course. Hopefully the early game angst will be kept to a minimum today.
