Playoffs 2016: Nova

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Survive and advance, right? This was all just a set up for next weekend by lulling the Bison to sleep, right?

I'm just glad we didn't put up a game like that against NDSU, because they would have flat out embarrassed us. I kind of think there were a lot of players that were looking ahead to another matchup in Fargo and overlooked Villanova a bit. They clearly didn't have the focus they needed for this game.

We should have lost this game, there's no question about that. From the timely penalties against them to dropped passes and interceptions, time and time again we got lucky. Hell, the play that likely prevented this game from going to overtime was lucky, with Goedert stepping in front of a ball that wasn't even intended for him. Oh, then a field goal bouncing off the upright and going in.

It was almost like we were meant to win today, but we did everything in our power to prevent it from happening.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

I actually disagree with this.

Coach Stig actually admits to mistakes all the time, sometimes even unwarranted.

It was a terrible mistake in my opinion, but I actually believe that that was Coach Stig's train-of-thought when calling the timeout.

The problem was, the pressure of trying to get the play off before a delay of game would have had way more of an effect than giving him extra time to think about the chippy he was going to kick.

What I am concerned with is if Stig didn't think it was indeed a mistake.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Rant: Coaching in general. Offensive play calling looked lost and just grasping for straws. Defensive play calling was way too conservative, gave them all kinds of time to run their slow developing pass plays on 3rd and long plays. Then there's the timeout at the end of the half debacle.

Rant: TC was absolutely confused and disturbed by Nova's 3-3-5. It's hard to adjust to a look like that in such a short time, but man he was absolutely lost out there. Bad/slow reads, bad throws, not able to evade pressure even when there wasn't much, especially with a 3 man front. I'm glad we're playing a team he's completely familiar with next weekend.

Rave: Goedert. You could argue that he won that game for us.

Rave: Viniateri coming in and making a 41 yard kick, into the wind, was awesome.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Maybe they were trying to get a penalty to give the kicker a better angle at the uprights.

That's what I was thinking too. But wouldn't have to accept the penalty.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Nope. It was the kick. I attached a screen grab. You see there are 3 seconds on the play clock, the kicker isn't yet lined up to kick. We called a time out 2 seconds later. And in the second grab there is 1 second on the clock, and the kicker is just starting to line himself up. There is no way they would have gotten that play off. They had no time outs. We called one and bailed them out. That was a mistake.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Any word on attendance? I've looked at several places and nothing listed on go jacks or ESPN.

According to GoJacks.com it was 0....

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

That was the play before. I dont think they were lined up to kick when we bailed them out on a delay of game penalty.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Also, they had 2 seconds on the play clock and weren't going to get that kick off anyway.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Goedert first receiver to ever have over 80 receptions in a season. Wieneke has 73 receptions this season.

I expect a big game from both of them in Fargo.

Christion also tied a SDSU record with 30 TD passes in one season.

This just sounds like him making up an answer because saying "I made a mistake and got lost" doesn't sound good

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Stig says they called timeout to put pressure on the VU FG kicker in the first half. Basically, they tried to ice him. VU then put offense back on the field and scored a TD.

Luckily it didn't cost the Jacks.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Ice him on what was basically an extra point? Thats really really dumb.

Aka... playoff Stig.
