Agreed. We are not that good. I would love to see stats on the amount of time Crenshaw had to throw the ball because on my counts he may have had 2 seconds on each play. Can’t expect much from that. Gave up To many big plays on defense. UNI is legit and way ahead of us which we expected. It is going to be a long season and now is the time to season these kids for the rest of this year and going into the summer off season. I can’t blame the OC. He has little work with when it comes to the O line. They are weak, slow and are not ready for the level of play they are expected to play at. They got beat on every play. I am really shocked at the defense and how they have regressed since the spring season. That is an issue. To many big plays. The staff is young. The team is young and we have a long way to go but I still am a DP fan. He will get this going. Give him the time he allotted and let him go. We need to continue to support the coach and players. They play hard for the talent they have and what they have to work with. We are not that deep!!

Go Guins!!

We can thank Pellini for the personnel issues and the reduction of scholarships due to his NCAA violations. Our kids were physically smaller than nearly every one of Northern Iowa's players. It looks like a high school team playing a college team.

Coming out of spring the coaches knew what we had.  They should have brought in some transfers to help us through the rebuild.  If you keep loosing it will be harder to recruit.  No one wants to play for a loosing program.

peteonastick:
Watched the game again last night - the O-line got completely manhandled and our D-line were being pancaked consistently.  UNI lineman were dominating our lines.  Plain and simple.  Can't win in the trenches you will not win games.  Sad to see that happen. 

Go Guins!

YSUGO:
Couple of quick thoughts?
What did Coach Wolford have when he recruited?  Why could he find offensive lineman?  I know the year he got released he said he was actively going to recruit lineman prospects from the upper Midwest. He to to compete in our league size and length was essential.

We all know he could recruit. So instead of blowing it up why didn’t we ante up to get better assistant coaches. Isn’t that the AD job to find$$$.  If you think about it our line was pretty good after 5 years of recruiting by Wolford.  In my opinion till we increase budget we will never be a top 3 team in this conference.  Year after year we say the same things about the lines.
