Sark: "That can carry us a long way."

You need scheme versatility and the players need to understand it to be good in the red zone defensively, Sark said. The line of scrimmage is important and you've got to be sticky in coverage because you're not defending deep balls.

I need the catapult % for the practices before I can make a W/L prediction.

I liked a lot of what Sark had to say today. Sounds like they've been getting after it in practice, and I think establishing the running game is going to be huge against LSU. Arch doesn't need to do it all himself. If we can run the ball, protect him, and let him make plays when they're there, I like our chances. Defensively, keeping Leavitt from scrambling around and making plays is going to be important. I also like hearing Sark talk about adjusting schemes and finding ways to get guys in positions to succeed. Now we just need to see it all come together Saturday. I'm encouraged, but it's time to back it up on the field.
