Joe Cox has been getting plenty of extra rest and is taking all the right meds. Couple of thoughts here: from what I remember, being sick leading up to the game saps a little strength away, but it also takes away a lot of the pre-game, season-opener anxiety or butterflies. It's easier to be calm. Another was to save energy is to cut back on the reps in the pre-game warm-ups. Let Logan, Murray and Mettenberger take more of the reps. And the adrenaline rush will help him too. 
    Don't think the plan is to throw it around 50 times anyway. The most important thing Joe will do in this game is: get the 'Dogs out of bad plays at the line of scrimmage. Call a run play in the huddle, but check with me at the LOS to see if I audible to another. Joe can do that with the flu. 
    The 'Dogs want to attack'm with the running game. Let Richard Samuel run downhill some behind Cordy Glenn and Clint Boling. Run off Sturdivant, with Chapas leading the way up in there. Oklahoma State's Front 7 doesn't appear to be real physical. Pound'm with the run game, and take some early shots in the passing game, when they sell out to stop the run. Expecting Samuel to have a break out game. His load got bigger when they decided to keep Caleb in Athens.
    2 Big Questions: 1- Who makes some plays on offense other than Samuel, Green and Moore? 2- Are the young DBs ready to rumble? Gundy is going to spread the field and make Georgia get out of the base 4-3...the 'Dogs will be playing a lot of Nickel, with extra DBs on the field. We'll find out if Boykin, Vance Cuff, Branden Smith and Sanders Commings can play. As far as Q1...Orson Charles and Marlon Brown are still so green. I bet it's Troupe, King or Thomas--who have been around a year getting comfortable--- that step up and make an impact.
