What’s considered a success

[Mike Thot]

Oh man.

A successful game would be us winning it. We can talk about whatever happens later...

 

[flips]

Score more points than they do

 

[Hurricane23]

Agreed. But these guys are a different level.

Man y'all boys gotta stop being soft, we're on a different level too

 

[Cajuncane]

Have they said where the officials are coming from yet?

 

[Kn[]_[]ckles3o5]

Going into the game, just from a pure stats perspective, what are we considering a successful game, for both sides of the ball? Under 100 yards for Smith + Tate? 100 yards rushing for us? 200 through the air?

If we walked away with what stats, what would you feel good with (besides the most important, a W)? What stats give us the best chance to win?

1. Win or have the lead go back and forth and lose on the final possession
2. Score more than 16
3. Knock Smith or Sayin out of the game
4. Rush for 150+
5. Toney long score or punt return TD
6. Pick 6 more
7. Block a kick

These would be my goals in order of importance

our season can still be considered a success if we lose, but the game is only a success if we win

 

[Alex_Dynamix]

A WIN. the season as a whole is already a success so far in my book now lets make a LEGIT run we have horses.

 

[CanesTN]

More points on the score board and a happy drive back to Memphis after the game.

 

[TexasCane90]

Just win baby… idc if it’s a blow out, nail biter, or controversial at the end. JUST WIN!

 

[Angry Ibis]

I don't have a problem losing a game because we're outplayed. I have a problem losing a game where we give up.

Losing because we get beat is one thing. Beating ourselves is another. The second one just cannot happen.

 

[Cajuncane]

I think first one to 21 wins…

 

[JHallCanes]

Under 50 penalty yards.
1 or less lost turnovers.

Do both and we win.

This is what the playoffs are all about

OSU is great on paper and they might very well be

Different schedules and conferences and styles colliding you just never know what’s gonna happen

So I’m with you. Don’t be your own worst enemy and I feel good about our chances given the trenches

[miamicanes305]

I was thinking more from a perspective on what should we be focused on to put us in the best position for a W? Of course nobody cares how pretty a W is, but there’s always certain things you want to accomplish to get there

 

[QuattroCane]

I think first one to 21 wins…

If we can put 24 up I think we can win it.
I just have a strange feeling we’re peaking at the perfect time.
Would not surprise me at all if we flip the script and Beck has a great game and wins it.
Can’t believe I’m saying this but I have full faith in the defense to play well enough to win. It’s on the offense to do their part.

I don’t think enough attention is given to the fact that we were totally unaffected by 100k in the road last week.

 

[BoludoCane21]

no coverage busts and 3+ passing plays of over 20 yards and we win this game
