Hope: Our OL and power running game, behind Barnes and Silmon, can move the chains consistently without having to get Jesse too involved
Expect: Vandy's run defense is a better than that, so moving the ball on the ground will require a heavy dose of Ertz..running, and stretching the field through the air to set up our run game.
Need: Whatever it takes to move the ball and score, because I do not think our D is ready yet.
Fear: We have to throw it too much. But honestly, not too worried about our O....moving the ball....just need to SCORE.
Hope: Our DL and LBs can get some pressure on Shurmur, and force some mistakes or make some big plays.
Expect: We will need to blitz to do it
Need: To just get some stops, even if we give up some yards
Fear: Our back-end plays too soft, and the less experienced in our secondary give up some big plays, and we just don't have enough to cover both Webb and Sherfield. IMO, their receiving corps is legit.
Hope: We do not need a special teams score.
Expect: We will give DJ every chance to get one, but Heath/Harris may do some work, as well.
Need: Special teams to give us field position.
Fear: Penalties negate a big ST play
Hope: We win BIG.
Expect: We win (pretty) close
Need: Just win
Fear: I'm not even going to type it.
