I'm willing to bet MSU had <80 yards in the 2nd half

Reinforces my point. Pretty obvious we made adjustments to our defensive strategy at halftime.

Wonder why it took 6 f`n quarters.

Even my minute football mind could figure out we had serious issues at halftime last week.

No doubt our defense was WAY better in the second half.


My question is this: Why the F does it take 6 freaking quarters to make an adjustment?!

Was our defense that aweful in the first half? We gave up the 79 yd drive but the other 3 drives were for a total of 62 yards. Maybe giving them a short field has something to do with it.

After I've calmed down a bit I think there is some truth in this statement. Although had we not given them a short field their total yards likely would have been higher. The 79 yard drive wouldn't have been much easier with our D on the sidelines. Didnt give me warm fuzzies about how they were playing.

According to TV, 80 total yards offense in the 2nd half with 44 coming on the last drive. Impressive turnaround by the defense. Need them to play like that from here on.

That was a great showing by the defense in the second half. If they can take that momentum and carry it with them into next week I truly believe we have a great chance after seeing UNI yesterday. I am not sure when Sumner is back although im guessing hobo days but it would def benefit the team if he was able to go next week.

Stop turnovers,penalties, and elevate the kicking game ,shore up specialty teams. Fix the issue of us helping teams to beat us, and eliminate having to climb out of a huge hole every game. Make the game easy instead of hard. Do all this and heroics won't be needed so much. I agree, the team showed a lot of heart and unwillingness to lose, despite things looking pretty bleak at times.

Due to my job, I wasn't able to watch or listen to the game until the last drive of the first half.

I turn it on, the Jacks drive the length of the field and cap it off with Weineke TD before halftime. Then the Jacks D proceeds to stonewall the Bears for the rest of game while the Jacks O moves the ball and eventually puts it in the end zone twice.

So I'm not exactly sure what we did the first half, but let's not do that again.

Congrats on your win Jacks!

Injuries have depleted the Jacks' depth, especially on the d-line. That's probably thinned the depth on special teams, too. Overall, the defensive unit is becoming lighter and faster every week.

What a weapon Wieneke has become. He and Schneider are a great receiving duo. Defenses can't double up on both of them. It's hard to go wrong throwing their way.

No doubt about Wieneke, if he stays healthy, he will put up a bunch of numbers, and will be giving D coordinators fits. We need to have a QB get the ball to these two guys. I think Wieneke took some pressure off Schnieder and vise versas. Finnes was to jittery to make any judgment about his abilities. It was my kind of game. I think those fans who left at half time and before, now regret that decision.

Was that No 93 or 94 that went down last night?
