playing against Scott Sloan defense
Who do you feel has the coaching advantage Thursday night? Obviously Scott Sloan knows our offensive tendencies just as we know his defensive tendencies. It should be an interesting chess match, especially in the first quarter. I have every confidence that our coaches will make the appropriate adjustments as the game progresses, and that our overall talent will prevail.

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
App has the advantage. Scott S is the head coach for a reason. He did not hesitate to name Sloan’s replacement. Which leads me to believe that SS knew Sloan’s job as well as he did. We all know SS is an offense mind, but I think his defensive mind is very strong.

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
APP has the advantage coaching. That was partially decided over the last several signing periods.

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
It doesn’t really matter from a coaching standpoint. Sloan doesn’t have the guys that he needs to be successful yet.

Satt vs any coach in the SBC, I’m taking Satt, players still have to execute.
Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
Not to sure on your analysis. Sloan has brought us bend but don't break mantra and it's improved our defense considerably. Might just surprise y'all come Thursday night.

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
Not sure that is exactly true. S Sloan knew the T Lamb offense, but i really think that Thomas has a different skill set that we utilize. Maybe he knew him from practice but i think the O has a bit of a different wrinkle, enough to present a challengeappst1979 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 22, 2018 12:30 pmWho do you feel has the coaching advantage Thursday night?

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
Easy genius. No one is talking philosophy. He is working with what he has and you haven’t really had to deal with the issues of depth yet due to injuries. We know what the scheme is and we know how to block it. We also know where the soft spots are in it and that is where the difference lies. You don’t have the team speed on defense to cover up for the gaps. Aside from Brunson, I’m not sure there is anyone on your starting 11 that could step into our unit and garner significant playing time.

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
Before last Saturday, the GS defense had only given up 3 points in the first quarter and that includes keeping Clemson off the board until 2nd quarter.
We haven't been exactly on fire on offense in the first quarter our last two outings.

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
Until Saturday, we haven’t allowed a TD in the second half since Penn State

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
Georgia Southern has always had good athletes. Coaching hasn’t been what it should have been since Sewak. I expect a hard fought physical game and I question covering the spread. Short week, rivalry game, anything could happen.

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
We had really good teams the pst few years but not at this level. We have depth and speed and I really don’t think we have unleashed our full offensive arsenal yet. Last Saturday looked like we did what was needed to get the W. If Satt sees that we have a good thing going he doesn’t deviate. The game was in control and it looked like we just eased up at the end.

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
I'm optimistic because of the way the team has responded to "big games" thus far. Going into the season it appeared that Penn State, Ark State, (So. Miss) and Troy would be our biggest challenges. Stink has been a surprise, but being our biggest rival, it won't be hard for the team to get highly motivated for this one. I actually think playing this one away isn't a disadvantage at all, but an additional motivator. If this team wasn't the least bit intimidated at Happy Valley, I don't think Gnatsboro will phase them. I expect Zack to bounce back and our defense to give us good field position. The possibility of rain and a slower pace doesn't excite me, but if we work in a combination of backs to keep Evans fresh, we should be fine. I'll take Satt in any matchup with Sloan all day.

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
Correct. This is a different team than what Sloan knew.App91 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 22, 2018 10:50 pmNot sure that is exactly true.

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
I don't think by any stretch we have the horses to run with App. I think we're 2-3 years away from leveling the playing field, but here we are sitting at 6-1 and that has surprised even the most optimistic of us GS fans. Naturally, we're all chest-thumping saying we have a chance against yall, but we know it's not reality. HOWEVER, stranger things have happened, the frost is on the pumpkin and yall have to come here and win in Paulson. It'll be a big test for your team, and a MUCH bigger one for ours. BEWARE OCTOBER!

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
Your post exactly. App vs Georgia Southern you can throw the records out. It is usually a tight game headed to the 4th quarter. I am excited to be down in Statesboro and glad to have both teams back to prominence.oldfart wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 7:26 amI don't think by any stretch we have the horses to run with App. I think we're 2-3 years away from leveling the playing field, but here we are sitting at 6-1 and that has surprised even the most optimistic of us GS fans.

Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
Good point! And we came close to keeping that streak alive.
Re: playing against Scott Sloan defense
Sewak? Sewak was outstanding but try and stay focused. Monken and Fritz would like word with you regarding Georgia Southern's history following Sewak's departure.Longrifle28 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 23, 2018 6:22 amGeorgia Southern has always had good athletes.
