Here is what I’m NOT worried about come Saturday afternoon’s game:
1) The MTSU running game. In the NFL, 4.5 yards/carry is a healthy average. In college, it is not. MTSU has rushed for 204 net yards (293 gross) in just over 70 attempts through their first 2 games. Granted, that is more than USCe rushed for last week, but MTSU did not face our rush defense. Instead, they faced Vandy and University of Tennessee at Martin. Last season they finished 91st in the country toting the rock. They haven’t left the state of TN this year, and it looks like they’re not going to escape by running.
