The kid last week threw 44 times because Rod wanted to see what he had. He completed 56% of his passes and left about 10 throws on the field. That's not gonna fly tonight. How some of you are saying he looked great is confusing, if they scored a 2000 points against Nevada what does it prove? He did this because his run first offense will go up against a defense that allowed a mind boggling 6 runs of over 20 yards last year. Only Wisconsin and Bama were better. The two backs from last year are gone and accounted for 94% of the runs, best WR hurt and a new DL that should be average at best and that's being kind. Oh yeah the QB is gone too. They will take a step back and won't be as good as last year.
UTSA is a bend but don't break defense. They give you the under neath stuff and make you go 12 plays before they stiffen up inside the redzone. You guys who think Zona is going to break these long 50 yard plays aren't paying attention. Does Solomen have the patience to not force throws when things don't go well? Got a feeling he has 2 interceptions in him tonight.
Nobody mentions this but Rod is notorious for always having one of the worst special teams in the country, it's always been his achilles heel. 2012 ranked 93rd, 2013 ranked 106, past 5 years his best special teams unit was 44th. This years unit should be one of the worst yet again, the entire unit stinks from the punting, kicking, coverage etc. If the game plays out the way I think special teams and field position will play a huge role.
Should be a nip and tuck game where UTSA who is playing one of the biggest games in school history shows up and will be in Zona's shirt for 60 minutes. Last week we see a decent number on them as the entire country will see just how good they really are. Yeah the offense has questions but the defense will keep them in it and I believe they'll be able to do just enough on offense against a weak defense with a ton of question marks. UTSA is probably the best team in their conference. Look for the outright win. The real play should be ML.
