QB is a tough position. We don't know who will be in the room this spring or next fall. Who will put in the time and do the work. QB at D1 is a full time job. There was some skoffing about APR scores elsewhere, but there arn't many QB's in Pre-med. Look at any D1 roster and check out the players major. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.
I'm tempted to add up all the points we have given up in the final minute of a half this year( l would include 1:13), but it is not worth it. I hope Christmas comes a couple days early with our signing class. By the way, when will transfers be able to sign? Same day?
Play to win, BUT lets see a lot of people get in on the action. Kellom may need to add some beef; so lets toss him a couple out of the backfield to give him a chance to do something in the open. Find a spot to get guys on the field. Use this game to get everyone motivated to put in the work during the off season.
My old brain is not functioning like it use to, but l thought we once had a game 12 canceled at Buffalo. Team hotel had no snow--stadium had 4 feet. Since neither team needed the game, no effort was made to play it later.
@TennZipmade a great analysis of players! Knowing next to nothing about soccer, wern't these the players that WMU handled the last 2 matches? Has WMU shown everyone the formula to beat the Zips? Will it be up to the Coach of ther Year to bring us home?
I have mixed fealings for this game. I want an all out effort to get a win; while at the same time l would like to see some Fr get some reps without burning their red shirt. You never know for sure what you have until the bullets are flying! I think most of the Fr can apear in our final 3 games and still have 4 more years to play 4. Three months of practice should have at least some of them ready to see some action. I would hate for this to turn into a throw away year, but a few reps could motivate some guys to step it up in the off season.
This game could have been won in the first half. First: we should have been up 21-0. Put you foot on their neck, and don't look back. Second: with a 1:39 remaining, poor kickoff and TD drive. We just have to stop allowing TD's at the end of the first half!
I'm asking as a former pig skin player, did the official let WM get away with too much physical play? We seemed to mimic them as the game progressed. If all the pushing and bumping is legit, I think we will see more of that in the future. That seemed to take us off our game.
Sunday's match was the first live action that I have seen since the Rubber Bowl. I was over stunned! The speed, precision, total dominance. I kept wondering, "were we that good, or was Northern that bad." That totally soothed Saturday's pain!
Without checking, I bet they were all big winners in HS. With a little success last Saturday, I sensed a bit more intensity in our guys. They remember winning, and I think that they will put it together Saturday.
It's hard to tell watching TV, but it seems that both OL and DL are lacking quickness. TE could bump and release to slow down those games that were giving OT's so much trouble. TE & HB might be needed to power up some off tackle runs. Red zone issues?
With Liberty's injuries, I'm looking for a close Zips win. We have gotten off to fast starts, but allowed mistakes to derail us. This week we put it together. Turn overs will be key. New starter jitters will lead to Liberty T/O's. Don't we still have some expected contributors that have not seen action yet? A couple more bodies on D could help.
It is more than 60 min of football. If you make it an event, fans will come even in an off year. For some tailgating party makes thr day. Others may enjoy dinner down town before or after the game. Get creative with the excessive TV time outs.
I don't know if injuries or discipline kept several men on the sideline for week one. I look to see them in action this week, but it will not be enough. Spartans 49-30
