    Glen is in his 3rd. year and they are this bad,it has to be on him. I don't know what they do going forward. If they keep him and try to change out his assistants, they'll have a hard time finding anybody decent that would take a job for a lame-duck head coach.

      Quite frankly, they just haven't been able to win very many recruiting battles in the region against the other MVFC schools. There will still be kids that fall through and be good players at for USD, as recruiting isn't an exact science, but you can't lose out on that many kids and expect to have good depth as a team.

      Their coaches are also underpaid and their facilities are still bottom tier in the MVFC, which isn't going to help them much in the future. It's going to take a really good, charismatic coach to get the program to start competing in the Valley.
      If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.

        As much as I enjoy seeing them struggle, having a competitive USD benefits the entire conference come playoffs. And it isn't as much fun to smack when they are terrible.

            They only dropped one fcs game OOC to Montana. Someone in the valley is going to get wrecked every year. I'd hope they could win more than 0 games in a season though.

              Its pretty obvious we missed on a NW Iowa kid with this Van Roekel at tight end for them.

                How about Potter the Full back, he picked up a bunch of yards. SDSU has not had the full back carry the ball in decades.

                  I would say good luck but y'all know I don't mean it. So...safe travels to CAS and home from CAS. That I do mean.
                  So, umm, did that count?

                    Loved the win, not completely happy with the 2nd half effort though. Onwards to the Playoffs for the 4th time in 6 years of eligibility!!!

                      couldn't agree more. This rivalry needs a revival. Any thoughts on why the U is so bad this far in the transition when the Jacks had already become playoff contenders?

                        #55 absolutely deserved to be ejected. I'm guessing the refs had their eye on him due to the way he was playing that game. He was the last one on the pile on several plays, and pancaked ZZ in the backfield well after Sumner threw the ball. All of this was pointed out by the USD fan I brought with me. He was glad he was ejected before it boiled over into something more.

                              This is why it is hard to speak badly about Glenn. He is a straight shooter and his team cannot pull the trigger.

                                I had an SDSU fan next to me point out #55 pretty early in the game because of the way he was playing. He guessed #55 would get a personal foul at some point.
