    Re: UNI Week

    I was at the UNI-ISU game Saturday.

    Panthers moved the ball well but both QBs threw pick-6s. Both looked shaky at times. Rennie is elusive but also fumbled on about the one-foot line into the endzone for a touchback with about 1:30 left in the game.
    Turnovers in the redzone have plagued UNI this year.

    UNI's defense only gave up 13 points and Iowa State's offensive touchdown came after a fake field goal on a great effort by the kicker to barely pick up the first down. Iowa State's first-string QB left after the first series with an injury and the Cyclone passing attack after that was almost non-existant. The back-up's passes were mostly off target.
    Panthers also had a field goal attempt blocked.

    Carlos Anderson never really got untracked. A backup straight-ahead runner picked up good yardage late in the game.

    The Cyclones are better on defense than two years ago. Their offense has struggled, however.

    It was pretty amazing following the SDSU-Nebraska score on the scoreboard at Jack Trice Stadium.

      Yet. In '93 at the start of the season McDonald had a good arm and no head. By the middle of the season you could watch him checking off recievers and throwing pin point strikes. It was a thing of beauty. This could happen again with TOB.

        I remember that year quite well. Seems like when Haensel coached his last game one of his comments was that he had a good class of freshmen which included McDonald, and I suspect TOB is of the McDonald mold.

          Except that he looked great against Montana in the opener that year.

          TOB will come around. If not it will be a long season.

            Do you know that for a fact, or still assuming it from last season? At the ISU game there's no way it appeared he was calling plays as his play chart was tucked away most of the time.

            I hate myself for getting into over-analyzing mode.

              I should have said we don't have the passing game yet.....

              I have little doubt that we'll come out with the same philosophy as the NU game. If that isn't working adjustments will have to be made and again I expect those adjustments will include the expectation that TOB will get it done in the passing game.

              I'm counting on the defense we saw on Saturday to show up and hold UNI down. SDSU hasn't scored more than 3 in the first half and 14 in a game so even if that happens it doesn't mean a W.

                    Just saw a tweet from Tom Neiman that the game will be on Midco channel 323 at 4pm Saturday.

                        Shouldn't this be titled UNI Weak?
