I'm even more confident now - Pate picked against us!

it isn't a shocking prediction. its close to a pick em game on a neutral field but Kyle field is a good home field advantage. my biggest concern for the game is our ability to handle crowd noise as it relates to snap counts, pre snap penalties etc. how many penalties we get or how many plays are altered by over simplified snap counts the defense can figure out could determine the game.
we got 40000 pre snap penalties at home this year.

weve played there already at night years ago and held up fine.

I’m gonna save my thoughts for Fridays Bench Session

Spoiler alert: it’s gonna be really really obvious how much I think we can win the whole **** thing
mario gets his teams up for big games. we have the talent to compete with anyone esp along the lines. malachi toney is the second coming. havent seen a player this dominant this early on as a skill position freshman since Jeremiah.
 
I mean bama had 2 losses so no where near the same as 5 loss Duke team that lost to every out of conference team.
Im not directly comparing Bama to Duke. I am comparing them to the 4 SEC teams ranked ahead of them in the CFP.

Like Duke their presence in the title game was a farce and ****ed up the committees ability to put the 11 best teams in the country into the playoff.

Dawson showed some nice stuff with the little wrinkles to free up Toney and Beck to do his thing

CJ Daniels coming back

Moten and Scott stepping up at DT

Thomas and Scott getting healthy

Yeah man I think we can beat anyone

Been saying all year OSU has an offense problem and it finally caught up to them against Indiana….but one thing at a time
 
we got 40000 pre snap penalties at home this year.

weve played there already at night years ago and held up fine.
these statements are in obvious conflict with each other. if we get pre snap penalties THIS YEAR at home doesn't it stand to reason this will be a problem at a place with loud crowd noise? hey maybe it won't be a problem and we win the game. I am not overly confident either way.

Kind of reminds me of Corso when we were good and he couldn't help but pick against us and then would get it wrong almost every time. Pate isn't hostile towards us, but he is an old school SEC true believer, which means he's genetically predisposed to going against us.

I think we win: Miami 31 - TAMU 24.
How does this remind you of Corso? Is there prediction record I’m missing or are you making it up? I am pretty sure Josh has a good track record with us.

I just remember Corso picking against us because he is a Nole, that’s all. Not that serious just a feeling.
