Western Ill game.....
YSUGO:
I don't think we were as bad as we played according to Wolford we have been the least penalized team in conference the past 2 years. Still dont understand the targeting rule especially in kickoffs how can the refs make that call ...dont get it...The Conference seriously needs to upgrade the officials ..it seemed at times they had not ever worked together. This game will be a wake up call for us..we will either step up and play our asses of or muddle through the rest of the conference. The talent is there we have a coaching staff that needs to lead and coach up our talent. We will never again have that wonderful 90's championship run. I don't think we should expect that but I do expect a team that plays hard and plays disciplined. We need make it a priorty that when a team comes to our house they know it is going to be THE HARDEST HITTING GAME ON their schedule. Till that happens we will never be a threat to won our conference.

Talent will be determined by play on the field, ysugo . Everyone thought it was great beating the weenie teams. The real games now will shed light on the "talent".
Needless to say, I'll be back to discuss this again AFTER you get a GOOD look. ;D

The talent is there and a good coach would have us in contention to win the conference. The bullsh** things we do cost us games. 5-10 plays we need to get back every game. The punt fake happening twice this year is not acceptable. The poor game management. The defense offside on 4th down giving WIU a first down on after a critical 3rd down stop. The fact that our secondary players don't turn around to look for the ball and the fact that the safety consistently allows the receiver to get behind him are coaching problems. This team has the talent. They were better than Western Illinois athletically and they match up well with the rest of the league. The consistent mistakes and ways we find to lose games are just unbelievable. If we don't give up the fake punt AGAIN we prevent a TD and may have won the game. If we don't run offside and get the ball back we don't give up a TD and we may have one the game. The comedy of errors is the issue.
Dmorton:
Those are my points exactly! These mistakes should have been cleaned up after the Illinois game, but they continued in the weenie games. Missouri Valley teams will continue to take advantage of those mistakes. That's why we may end up 6-6, and again out of the PO. The same stupid mistakes year in, year out. Every year, poor secondary and linebacker play, special teams and stupid mental errors, Where the hell is the discipline in this program. How many games have we thrown away over the last three years alone?

4 key ones for me this week.
1) Illegal motion on the first drive. It was 3rd and 2, and the way we were running the ball we would have scored a TD, but the penalty caused us to settle for a field goal.
2) The INT turned TD reception. The guy made a great read and break on the ball, but took his eyes off of it to look upfield. It was third down, so even if he knocks it down they would have been punting.
3) The fake punt. We had the "mo" going into half, and had them stopped on their initial drive of the third quarter until no one in the middle stayed home to guard against the fake. Next play is a TD.
4) Offsides on WIU's next possession after the fake. A bad snap on 3rd and 6 left WIU with a 4th and 14, but wait, YSU was offsides, and now it's 3rd and 1. 6 plays later WIU is in the end zone.
