SIU post game thoughts (Wolfords first road win}

<< < (4/4)

Wasn't pretty but I'll take it.

We certainly improved defensivly. Not sure if it was scheme or play or both. I just don't get the same perspective whn I am not watching live play.

Special teams could have caused us bigger headaches with the field position we were giving up all day. The Defense played better and I like the blitzing.
 
The offense really didn't have too many sustained drives. 2 of the scores were like 1:30 3-play drives

GOpenZ:
Congrats on the Win!  8)

Contrary to popular belief I have been very happy with the half-time adjustments made by our defense (both staff and players).

Good point PenZ. We actually backed off the blitz in the second half. I like to see more power on both sides of the ball ...(ie: sustained drives and blitzing). However, in the second quarter, their QB burned us on those blitzes (slant pattern of course), so we backed off.

A integral part of blitzing is having faith in your secondary. In this case, the SIU QB "couldn't hit the broad side of a barn". He had many, many wide opened receivers. He had only started 1-game prior to Saturday. This luxury will not happen against MSU, WIU, NDSU and UNI. I am still concerned, but I asked for noticeable change, and I got it. Thanks Wolf!! Congrats on the win guys!
