2023 Football: Constructive Criticism and Compliments
YsuPride:
Pelini left the program in shambles when he left going to take until next year. WE NEED TO WIN NEXT YEAR THOUGH. Philips would have 5 years by then. time to win!! Need a transfer portal QB too.

A loss to that school down south, the top team in our division and two close losses on the road to a couple of good teams. Not bad!
Coaching staff still has some room to improve, a couple of games where I do not think that the team was ready to play at kick-off.
What amazes me is the negativity with some our fans. Will we make the play-offs, who knows. Past history is not on our side, but hope is better than despair.
Been going to games since the Polish Rifle, will be there next year.

If and when this does happen, I don't want to hear anymore bullsh** about the team and coach. He's building a great program here. Hes got to work with his coordinators and coaches. They need development and that takes time.
Direct your anger at the AD for keeping Heacock who couldn't recruit but could coach. For the record, dynasties are usually once in a lifetime events. That's just reality

Power with the diluted conference schedule we should make the playoffs. Wolford or Pelini never had this easy of conference schedule.
So if we go 5-3 we will either be the 4th or 5th best team in the conference.
I know the top team the jackrabbits best Northern Iowa by 35 pts. We lost to them.
I don’t know if Phillips is the answer but he needs a huge talent influx to get to the next level in our conference.
We will see. But I said earlier in the year our D wasn’t great after I watched Ohio st and you said heck no we are so much better. We aren’t on D and honestly that’s been our Achilles heal other than 2016.
Murray St should be an easy win. Then it’s up to the asshats that pick the teams.

We are better on defense this year than we were last year. Our problem is on the DL. The secondary also has issues, but many of those issues are caused by the lack of pass rush.
Look at where we are statistically this year vs last year defensively. We are better, we're just not good enough to beat the top tier teams. We need more recruiting on the DL and OL. We have to be able to run the ball against anybody.
Here's what people need to keep in mind.....SDSU will not be the same team next year. They graduate a ton of people. I expect that there won't be such a dominant force in FCS next year.
Cimo7:
Correct me if I am wrong here but I don't think we finish higher then 5th in the conference regardless of the outcomes on Saturday?? SDSU, SD, NDSU, UNI and possibly ND all ahead of us? Hate to break it but 7-4 and tied for 4th or 5th in the conference wont cut it.
