Obviously we're potentially limited now on offense with the loss of Hollings (what % of the offense was he responsible for ?)
Anyway, maybe this will force BOB to be much more creative in schemes etc now since we'll need some use of "smoke and mirrors" (?)...Maybe this will force some changes (like more options to the slot back, maybe some trick plays?, maybe more of what we saw in the Seattle bowl?)
Additionally, lets not forget that TH didn't get ALL of his yards on his own (granted, he did get a lot of yards strictly on his own), but the OL was opening up some good holes last week, - and hopefully, if the OL can dominate (at least on the left side), we should still get good yardage on the ground)..
I dunno - I'm just getting a feeling that the team could rally big-time this week and be focused...How many times in sports do we see this??? Adversity can bring out the very best. JUst think back to last years Seattle bowl - at that time, things looked pretty bleak on the flats, but some of us had this same feeling...As did I.....and we came out VERY focused then.....
Guess we'll find out Saturday...I LOVE that the rest of the conference is writing us off now...
