Most consider VSU to be the unde dog in this game.
We've been the under dog in almost ever Championship game except possibly one thatcI can remember. Of those we've won all but one, our first against Grand Valley. If I were a betting man, I'd never bet against VSU, as we usually find a way to win through talent, coaching and determination.
Both our passing game as well as running game have been equally effective this year. We have a very fast and elusive QB who has only been sacked twice on the season and can also stretch the field with the deep ball. He has two very fast and capable receivers, as well as two running backs who can carry the load and are a threat to take it to the house on any given play. In short, opponentscan key on any particular player or position. When a team has tried to take away either the run or passing game, VSU has no problem changing to the run game. Our problem is we typically score so fast that tlour defense doesn't have much time to rest.
My concern will be our ability to contain the QB on the keeper plays, and turn overs. There are aspects of this team that are not as good as our last Championship team and some that are even better. IMO we have more dept than most teams and I like our coaches ability to make in game adjustments. I wish we were better at milking the clock with a lead.

Argonut hit the nail on the head, if we don't take care of the ball, this will be over early. We need to string some long drives together and keep that O off the field. Still predicting a Dawgs win, but sphincters gonna get real tight during this one.

Looking foward to a great game. It takes so many things to go right for two teams to make it to this level. Imagine being the last two standing out of 164 teams. That speaks volumes. Win or lose on Saturday both teams and fans can stand proud of their amazing respective season. At this point the ranks are out the door. It comes down to which team can better execute their game plan and get some stops on defense. Which coaching staff will make the better adjustments.
Neither team has played from behind often this season. Though VSU had a loss on the season, it game against arguably one of the best programs in the country. The team still put up 42 points in the loss. I think in this instance they learned more from the loss, as they have become more focused since that game.
It's been amazing watching the growth and development of Ivory Durham. I can recall meeting his family in the stands during his Fresan year. We knew he was special from day 1. He has waited his turn to become QB1, and has been the model player/student since stepping on campus.
I've followed Blazer football since my attendance during the mid 80's. Like each of the previous Championship teams, this one is special. There is talent across the board with very few weaknesses, and an amazing coaching staff.
Keys to victory include ball control and clock management, We are at our best when we are balanced, between the run and passing game. Thus far no one has been able to shut down either. I'd love to see us get the lead and finally control the clock in the fourth quarter via the run game. This is the time that we usually allow our opponents to get back into the game. Let's have some long sustained drives that result in points in the 4th. Sometimes people forget just how good our defense can be. We need more of that shut down defense that we saw early in the season.
I'll see you guys tonight in McKenney.

Rooting for VSU, but predicting FSU... 42-31. But I'd take the over. Although these 2 ran it up last time. Natty's tend to be lower scoring. TA may not know for sure how good his backend D is. Therefore, I think he'll try to slow the game down. Still, Bernhadt could take it to the house on any one play.
