Snatch the soul! Establish the trenches. When a team knows their dline can't do nothing with you the rest of the team follows. Show them we physically superior and then open up the floodgates
This. We have the better lines on both sides, and the better QB. That usually equates to winning.
From the first snap, prove this ****. Let up nothing in the run game. Dominate the LOS from the opening whistle, keep their backs from getting going, and keep them behind the sticks. On passing downs, rip their souls out and get Mertz off-platform. Collapse the pocket, make him move his cement shoes, and bury him.
On offense, do not let them pressure Ward with four. Make them bring additional guys, which opens our our receivers and tight ends against their back 7. Run. The. Football. If we run for 150 yards, we win. Simple as that.
This game is all about the trenches. The gator had a pretty decent run blocking unit last year, and struggled in pass pro. Eat their lunch all night on that side. And on offnese, the gator was 116th in the country last year in yards per rush allowed. Move them off the football, create lanes for Martinez, and let him cook.
150+ rushing yards
Zero turnovers
Keep them under 100 rushing
We win going away.
