Hilltopper Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Playing not lose when you are behind on the scoreboard is a new strategy by Milwee. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 We have a terrible defense, and handcuff our offense. Do we want to win, or not? Thank God I didn't drive 5 hours to watch this. Quote
lance99 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Halftime: Run Defense is bad, but Offence Line play is A+ Quote
1981 grad Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 The strategy was clear: Our defense is so bad he did not want to give the ball back to Ball State if we did not convert on 3rd down since we were on our own end of the field. He did not want to be down 24-7 at half time. Our bad defense now dictates our offense. This is also the reason he did not go for it on fourth down. Against Appalachian State, Western Michigan and Ball State, this game is the first time we have seen the opposing kicker in the first half. That is the definition of bad defense. 1 Quote

That is an interesting take. I still don't agree with it though. I'd also say the questionable strategy has more to do with Bowden than Milwee. Quote
Spin Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Maybe they're afraid of playing WMU again in the MAC Championship if they win the East. Quote
ZachTheZip Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Chapman does what he does best! Quote
lance99 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Through the Ball State hands, catch by Lane, and then TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!! Back in business!!!!!! Quote
zipsoutsider Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 That sure was a gutsy 4th down throw. Nice play by Lane to haul it in. That drive felt like we were finally starting to make the turn back to the team we were before Woodosn's injury. Let's see if the D can pull off a stop. Quote
LZIp Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 True freshman Alvin Davis is having himself a game. One of the rare bright spots. Defense seems to be playing with a little more intensity. Let's keep it up! Quote

ZachTheZip Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Beautiful floater to Natson for a TD! Quote
LZIp Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Wow. The offense would not be denied on that drive. Great! Quote
zippy5 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Nice halftime adjustments from TB and Co. Quote
zipsoutsider Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 If these announcers knew anything about our season they would know that we have been successful with the run, we just haven't done it a lot. Our D will be fresh when they take the field, now. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Milwee doing a nice job of mixing the run and pass. Great to have Woody back! Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted October 22, 2016 Report Posted October 22, 2016 Hope BSU doesn't hitch their horse to Gilbert. At least we're now in the drivers seat. Quote
