Thinking about Monday night's game non-stop, of course. Can't wait for it to get here. I predicted a score of 31-13 - though if we're hitting on all cylinders on offense, I think it will be more, but I'm riding with the prediction expecting first game kinks & jitters.
Here's my Top 3 concerns/unknowns heading into the game:
- PASS RUSH: No Joey Bosa and two new starting DE's = I hope we can get to the QB.
- 2nd CORNER: Gareon Conley - talented, reported to be improved, can't shake MSU game from my mind
- WR BLOCKING: We have fast and talented studs - but blocking on the edge is key to victory
Other than that, I'm not really worried about what VT does. "They are who we thought they were" (Denny Green voice). We mostly beat ourselves last year (coaching & young team mistakes). I don't expect that to happen again this year.
