GDT: UNI Purple Kitties on Hobo Day

Re: GDT: UNI Purple Kitties on Hobo Day

Let’s see, in our two losses, against the only teams we’ve played that are good (and UNI isn’t even that good), we are averaging a TOP of like 17 minutes because our defense can’t get off the field, letting the opponent have methodical, clock eating drives. Teams are following the NDSU blueprint against us. Not sure how you can’t see that.

For the record, I didn't say what you said was completely wrong, and I don't see how you can't see past your own bias and admit that the miscues had considerable impact irrespective of any "blueprint."

What's one way an opponent racks up TOP? Turnovers that give their offense the ball.

Re: GDT: UNI Purple Kitties on Hobo Day

I was critical of the defense against YSU but I feel this game was on TC. He needs to be much better than he was today and really all year.

TC was terrible today, even worse than he has been all year. But UNI had the ball for 40 minutes, some of that is on the offense not sustaining drives and some of that is on the defense not getting off the field on third downs. UNI was averaging 73 yards rushing a game coming into this. They had 218 today. Weymiller himself had more rushing yards today than UNI has had in a game all year.

Turnovers, missed passes, and missed kicks set quite a foundation for whatever blueprint they already had.

I got there early and the bum stew in Club 71 tasted like something like bum stew. This was not my ideal game by any means. A real nightmare.
Being a defending co-champs , we have had a target on our backs and the opponents had all off season to study our game tapes and prepare.

And it’s the coaches job to learn and make adjustments on how to defend these offenses.

Re: GDT: UNI Purple Kitties on Hobo Day

Do you think Lewis was coached to field that punt with a defender that close and that Johnson was coached to return a kick from the end zone and fumble that?

Ahh, maybe they were to inject that missing "intensity" and "aggressiveness," eh?

And when you sandwich those two special team mistakes around that terrible throw by Christion on the out route that got jumped for the near pick-six, it definitely wasn't a good way to start a game.

Thumper's word exactly. "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Its the sh*ts to sit in the rain and watch our team have a bad day. I think there is enough blame to go around. Especially those fans who spent all afternoon gulping free wine and beer inside of Club 71. They were no help at all.

Tell me about it; I masochistically sat through the whole thing. I wasn't trying to disparage the players. I was just pointing out a couple defenders who have played well/continued exerting effort.

Re: GDT: UNI Purple Kitties on Hobo Day

The blueprint is out on how to beat us. It’s been used by NDSU, Youngstown and now UNI. Our coaches haven’t made one adjustment to fix it.

Backhaus has been too, and Soulek is fighting through double teams.

Re: GDT: UNI Purple Kitties on Hobo Day

This I can agree with. Hats off to UNI for effectively using Weymiller and Fountain. Where I differ from some of you is that we have seen evidence that the coaches can effectively scheme to players' strengths. Definitely not sure what the issue is.

Re: GDT: UNI Purple Kitties on Hobo Day

You have the best two players in the league. A coaching staff's job is to design plays that get them the ball. Are they surprised every week that teams are designing defenses around them? Figure it out or find an staff that can.

We are just a mentally weak team. Anything at all goes wrong and we hang our heads and look like our dog just died. And I feel that all starts with the guy at the top

I’m leaning toward that last sentence.
