2023 Football: Constructive Criticism and Compliments

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.

SDSU and SD will finish 1-2. Assuming that we beat Murray, here are the two scenarios:
If NDSU beats UNI, we would finish in a 4-way tie for third place in the league at 5-3 (with NDSU, UNI, winner of ISU/ND.)
If UNI beats NDSU, we would finish in a 2-way tie for fourth place with the winner of ISU/ND.
Of course conference standings mean nothing to the corrupt committee. They would take a 4-4 (7-4 FCS) NDSU and SIU over a 5-3 (7-3 FCS) YSU
Dmorton:
The minute the gun sounded at UNI and SD we were out of the play-offs! With this committee, and the scenarios you suggested there is no way we get in! I would be totally shocked the way we were overlooked in the past! Remember the Lafayette debacle years ago, and Delaware last year! They are not going to take five to six teams form the MVC.

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.

I just at this years conference stats for D. We finished 4th last year in conference. This year we are 8th plus we are giving up an extra point a game. We have a weaker conference schedule. So no we haven’t improved on D.
YsuPride:
Just as I thought we have not improved at all. Gone backwards

Rushing defense is improved and we played Ohio State in there too
