Southern Utah - avoid the trap

[yoteforever]

Re: Southern Utah - avoid the trap

Still, worried about a trap letdown.... a loss would undo all the great early benefits of that KU win.

Very few people consider or take into account the "mental" side of the equation. It would be natural to have somewhat of a letdown, but I don't think it's likely for two reasons. The first is this is your home opener. Kids love playing in front of the friendliest the first time. Secondly, until I see different, I think you have a squad that is capable at making a run for the whole enchilada. That team I watched in Lawrence is awfully good.

Not that anyone gives two pinches of crap what I think, but my money is on the Jacks by more than 14. Could be more than that. The first half of the game at Kansas, you played as good as any team could at the FCS level. I don't think you will go undefeated in the MVC, but I don't think anyone will. SDSU,NDSU,YSU,SIU,ISU (red), and UNI are damn near equal.

Are we anywhere near 11,000 sold?

There are still over 4,500 tickets available according to the ticket site. The rest are sold or student sections. If the stadium seats 17,000 but 3,500 are band and student tickets I would guess we have sold around 9,000.

Contrary to others, I give many pinches of crap to read what you think. You know how the game is played and granted some things have probably changed since you were on the field. A good report and I think we should have a good season and I am not into total wins but looks good this year. I like our game plans put together by the coaching staff. I think Stig has a good bunch who can work together and that's a big part of the battle. Parity in the MVFC? You bet and that's what makes it very interesting.

Stig said on the radio show last night that Mangarelli is hurt and probably won't play Sat. Didn't say what the injury was, just said that Have plenty of RB's and Gandy will play much more. I thought in Kansas it was just leg cramps but apparently more. He was pretty dynamic when he was on the field. Just need to get him healthy for the Bison.

Sucks about Mangarelli, thought he played well against KS. I don't recall Gandy playing at all in the 1st game.

He did play.

not at running back.

Re: Southern Utah - avoid the trap

I talked to Isaac Wallace today, and he said that it was a problem with Brady's AC joint. Isaac thinks he will be able to play, but you never know. If he ends up playing, I'm sure he will get pulled earlier than usual if we jump out to a lead.

Re: Southern Utah - avoid the trap

Brady has been cleared to play by the medical staff, but I'm not sure the coaches are ready to let him play this Saturday. Besides Gandy (behind Wallace) another RB who has been coming on strong is Kyle Paris, 6-1, 200 pound junior from Aliso Viejo, California. If Mengarelli does not play, we may see Paris in on some plays.

Re: Southern Utah - avoid the trap

You are correct, he never got in the game according to to rushing stats at GoJacks.com. That's weird, I do believe we have depth at RB.

It's nice to have some options at RB. Paris got some pt in Kansas on a few plays but never got the play, more used as a blocker but the coaches do seem to like what he has been doing this year in practice.
