ILS Week

<< < (2/3) > >>

Penquin68:
This is a big week for us. The previous 3 game wins were against the lower teams in our conference. Have we grown to be able to compete with the middle of the league teams? This will be a good measuring stick in my mind. I think the change to MD made the difference in our team in many ways. The O is better because the other teams D can't just focus on number 8. If they do like much of last week MD can hurt them. And I think our younger players are getting better and we are fresh at games end because of all the substitutions. I watched ILS play NDSU and in my opinion they are about like us in overall ability. Their QB can run and pass, but is not particularly outstanding at either. Their D is similar in my opinion. Good but not great. So we will see if we can match up with a mid-level team in our conference on the road. Remember last year’s win in the last game of the year on the road was the first for us on the road in a few years. Can we do that for the second time this year against a mid-level team? It will be interesting to see if we are indeed making progress to getting good again and if this coaching staff is doing a good job contrary to what many say on this board.

Heard that the weather in Normal is going be nothing like it will be in Ytown. 30-40 mph winds and 56°. Favors the run game. Need to establish the run and control the ball. Take the wind in the 4th quarter and hang on!!

Go Guins!!

If the passing game would be greatly affected because of the 30-40 miles wind and we have to fall back to the run game, would we be more effective if we go back to having Crenshaw as QB since he is better runner.
I thought I just put it out to see what you guys think.
I still think MD can read the defense better than Crenshaw.
Any opinions?

I agree

Penquin68:
I think we are better off with MD even in the wind. Short passes will still be there and that threat makes number 8 much more effective. With Crenshaw in at QB if all he does is run, they will catch on quickly. If he passes poorly all we have is what we had before MD. It did seem like Crenshaw ran the ball with more authority Saturday than he did before MD. I guess the coaches need to make those choices. I hope they are up to it.

Yes, I hope the coaches are up to it also. However, in the past, they didn’t make the right decision quick enough. Everyone (almost) on this board knew Crenshaw was not effective, and yet they started him for all those earlier games. If MD would have started the season, he would have more experience under his belt. He might even be able to win one more prior league games.
At this point, he clearly is a better QB for this team.
