Re: Hey USD!
I don't have as much to say in response as usual but any argument to what USD did in the past 15 years against SDSU vs what they would have done or might have done in the last 2 years is kind of irrelevant. The last time USD had a competant coach was Triplett when he nearly won a national title. Meierkort is the first good coach that USD has had in the past two decades. Creehan was doing ok but he left almost as soon as he got things going. SDSU beat USD for the most part during that span but everyone else in the NCC did as well. The Coyotes just haven't been that good and it has primarily been because of coaching so it's tough to say what SDSU has always done would spill over into what they would do now. USD has never lost a home game under Meierkort, NEVER. You can say what you want about scheduling but it's not like they were playing cupcakes during all those games. Those were teams that USD beat that have beaten USD something like 9 out of the last 10 years. Meaning UNO and UND. USD has not only just closed the gap but are right up on the top with those teams. Doesn't it speak any volumes at all that UND won at UNI and was lucky that they didn't get beat in the Dakotadome by 30 at the end of 2005. USD dominated the game for the most part.
I wouldn't be so sure that SDSU would have a speed advantage in Vermillion. USD is fast on offense and defense. Their defense held Central Arkansas down for the most part. It was the Coyote offense that continually gave away the rock that was the reason for most of the Bears points. The Coyote offense has since gotten on track.
