I can imagine it’s very difficult to learn an entire new coaches scheme, philosophy and terminology. But whatever it is, come on Blazers, let’s get it together. The rankings ho out the window when it comes to VSU play. You can get beat by any team I. The conference on any given Saturday. We know it’s not a lack of talent. Sooooo what is it?

While the Blazers are not off to a good start, I'm curious to see if they get better as the year continues.
With only 2 starters returning on D, part of me thinks we should've expected some challenges on that side of the football..given VSU wasn't a great defensive team a season ago. Tackling seems to be a challenges, for sure. Plenty of young guys that'll need to step up and put a shoulder into a opponent.
Watching Delta the other day I was impressed with their QB play and the dual threat he poses, but the thing that really jumped out was the size of the Delta OL. Each guy in the game upfront was over 300lbs and an avg of about 315. That's massive for D2. That itself could pose a real problem for a Valdosta squad that is smallish on the defensive side of the ball.
If Valdosta can find a happy balance between the run and the pass, I think they hang around in this game..but they need to start a little quicker. The offense has started slow continually, giving the opponent a believe they can hang around..instead of being KO'd early by a prolific offense.
This should be a telling game for both squads.

It’s going down this weekend! Between these 2 really good teams. Yes for Delta State the win last week was great and it feels good to be ranked / 4-0. Although but to me in my opinion. This is a prove it game!! Meaning can / is Delta State ready to handle success. I feel that they are but this Saturday will let us know if we can handle success. I feel Statesmen will be ready! Go Statesmen!!
