That's true for 90% of games... LOL. I see no reason why we don't win those 2 stats. We had a great 3rd down defense last year and most of that D is back. We have an improved pass rush which should help with out woeful turnover rate from last year... If our 3rd down D is the same, and we get slightly better in turnover margin, TAM has no chance.
But they will still beat us... Woof! (sorry... had to.) ________________________________ From: Woody <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 11:14 AM Subject: Re: [gatortalk] Debate: Who has advantage with TAM now opening vs Fla?
