The other QB is not a good QB BUT he can move and rub and extend plays. Personally would rather fave McGough, we don't control the mobile types very well!

We are a better team the FIU.  No question about it.  I would like to see a fast start like the 14-0 1st quarter against Ball State, but keep the foot on the gas.  I want to see the "No Mercy" part of the Trickett offense.

That said, Here are some keys as I see it.  
1.  Short yardage situation, 2 backs - qb under center and a receiver in motion.  
2.  Put the T Option in the play book.  If it's already in there, then run it.
3.  That screen to Buddy (25 touches) will be a big play when we get it down.
4.  Need to throw down field if for no other reason then to keep their D honest
5.  Henry Bussey doesn't have the speed for the jet sweep, but he could run a toss pitch (make the pitch forward, so if the play is blown up it would be an incomplete pass)
6.  How about a reverse or a throw back screen? We have to slow down the pursuit.  We need to open up the play book.

Tips for FIU, better do something to stop #9 on Defense.  He is going to have a monster game.  And, don't kick off to #6.

Alex McGough gets the start this week over Alexander, who had his first career start last week against UCF.

Took them longer but FIU gets 7 when Alex McGough runs it in.

We're tied at 7 a couple minutes in.

Could be a shootout.
