It would be a damn shame for this team not to put It all together before this season ends. If they don't, it will mean they never reached there full potential. It may haunt them…and of course us.

I'm very curious about their true ceiling and would love nothing more than to see this team lock in and grab the brass ring and become legends.

Yep, haven't played a full game all season. Hopefully we get it together against Miami.

We need to come out dictating how the game will go and not just trying to survive.

I would too. The offense was pretty good most of the year, but did not look good against tu. Was that a one week aberration, or a result of facing a superior defense for the first time?

On defense, we have been susceptible against the run all year and have given up too many chunk plays. Can Elko get this fixed or is it just a product of our talent/scheme? I hope that Scooby is back and healthy. I think that will help tremendously. And finally, can our corners cover the elite receivers we are going to face in the playoffs? We can't count on our defensive line to get pressure every pass play against good offensive lines, so we need them to at least hold up for 3-4 seconds. Thankfully, our first two games are against drop back passers and not dual threats.

I think we have some talent issues on the defensive side of the ball. Make no mistake, I believe Elko has gotten everything he can out of them. But at a certain point, the talent discrepancy shows up.

Whether they lose game 1 or the NCG, all it will mean is that this team exceeded expectations and made it to the college football playoffs, but came up short and lost to whomever it is they lose to.

Enjoy the blessing and quit worrying about **** that's not happened.
