If I had to handicap the offense against State, right now, I’d say TVD throws a pick to a LBer. Can’t imagine Gibson will run many of his zero blitzes this week. Instead he’ll confuse TVD dropping backers and that third safety into coverage.
On the bright side, that means running lanes should open up. Force them into 7-8 man boxes and make Gibson leave his DB’s on islands.
It obviously won’t be that simple, bc Gibson is really good. But there’s a real path to controlling the game. See ND 2nd half for the blueprint.
On defense, Morris is not good against pressure and they only have one good receiver. Bracket the Conception kid and bring the house. They have a couple of average at best RB’s, that shouldn’t be an issue either.
Coming out dead and giving away multiple turnovers are State’s only path to victory. Which is exactly what this team is prone to doing. So who knows what’s gonna happen.
