The DL better be the breakout players, or else this could turn into another long afternoon.

Prince, Dennard, Smith, Thenarse, Gomes, Hagg, David - the entire secondary needs to live up to their billing against this passing attack. I have no reason to think they won't, but they absolutely need to bring their A game in coverage, tackling and overall execution, especially if our Dline doesn't put enough pressure on Weeden or contain Hunter coming out of the backfield.
I'd say the success of our offense depends largely on the performance of the O-line. There's all the makings of the kind of success we had against K-State, and we all know the results of the incredible blocking we provided in that game.

Prince has played extremely well this season IMO. Reason we don't hear his name a lot is because QB's are afraid to throw it to receivers he's covering.

the referees if they actually do a decent job and dont screw us every chance they get...11 vs 11 much better odds than 11 vs 12

I think on defense, there will be a few breakouts.
Lovonte David, Prince, I have a feeling about Hagg too and (at least he better) Thenarse. If I were Thenarse and watched my tackling in that game, I would hit like a mule and wrap up for sure!
On offense, Burkhart, Helu, Reed, C Green and Martinez.
If this happens, who cares who does best, we win big!
GBR!
:woo :woo :woo :woo
Burkhart eh? I am going to have to say that Martinizing will have a breakout game.

Offensively look for the R and R crew to break out in my opinion. I can see Wats feeding them early and often for two reasons. A. Okie Lite will continue the trend to spy Taylor to take him out of the game plan, and B. to counter act A, and to help Taylor ease into the game without feeling as if he must make every play.
The Pokes are young experience wise intheir tackles, so I'd like to see some straight ahead downhill running with these two.
Defensively, I will say Pierre Allen and the CamStache. They will play a vital roles of course in generating some heat on Weeden, but also will be huge in containing Hunter. They need to force him back inside towards the pursuit and helpside defenders to keep him from getting outside and busting one long. Not talking about each of them putting up huge numbers, but being disruptors.
