Fresno game is a must win for confidence and pride

I don't think i have to state that this saturdays game with fresno is a absolute must win. Our players confidence is very shaky right now and even though we are 2 point favorites according to vegas (which is dumb considering fresno is very very good), our players know that the world views them as underdogs. If we come out and beat fresno then it will do wonders for our team. If we lose this game and go into the kentucky game with a 1-3 record, well, our season is over and there will be nothing else we can hope for as fans. This season is on the brink, but its not yet over. We MUST win this game against fresno. Fresno state is a very good team with offensive balance. Their qb is a lefty who can sling it and their defense has 10 sacks. Only boise state has beaten more bcs teams the past 5 years then fresno. To win this game our defense is going to have to be aggressive like they were at times against vandy and they must stay with their assignments to even have a chance. This will make or break our season.

Shakleford is a very key part of the defense and one of the few cogs that is actually doing what it is supposed to do this year. Let's hope that he recovers quickly and continues to play well.

Must win? We don't have anymore of those. We are past must win. We are a favorite by two. Shackleford is injured. We have no leaders and Masoli is the closest thing to a player we have. Vanderbilt covered our spread. There is no unity. It looks like a lot of chiefs out there, no indians.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Fresno score JSU type points.



And us score less. Much less.

Goroth, gonetoxford and spoole can both suck it. If they are not trolls then they are a type of fan we don't need (cancer so to speak). I know this board is civil but I am losing my cool very quickly. Just keep an eye on them, nothing to flag yet but I feel that may end soon!

Actually I'm a student. Good try though. And if we don't get it together this week, expect the student section to be empty every game except for the Auburn game.

Stanley has great potential. He doesnt have the mobility Masoli has. Which we have to have with our line.
