And to rub salt in the wound...UNI over NDSU 10-0 in 3rd...see they are making a statement...

This game was really about momentum and adjustments and qb play. In the first half we had all of those at times but they started making defensive adjustments toward the end of the first half and that forced us into a field goal situation and had it blocked and then they took the momentum for good. Zero points second half. They were able to neutralize Rivers and then they started running their qb and we were taking bad angles etc. They have a good one.
They were able to confuse Wells when they dropped the two ends back and had three down linemen. I don't think Wells could tell if they were going to blitz or not and they took away the outlet pass to the running back and the slot receiver over the middle. Their quarterback on the other hand was very fast very elusive and made a lot of the throws he had to make.
Hunter probably should have had a couple of the passes he threw today intercepted, however, he didn't but he was lucky. especially in the second half.
Stubbs fumbled the football on the 2 yard line because he started running before he caught the ball. This put us in terrible field position. Another special teams problem.
then we have a second field goal blocked. it looked to me that the holder was lined up to close to the center and there wasn't enough distance between the ball and the defense. One of the field goals was long but the other field goal was not.
You could argue that the turning point of the game occured we had the first field goal blocked. However we were still moving the ball in the second half until about 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter. had we hit the two field goals we would have been in a one point game then we would have been able to win it with a field goal at the end however,we did not have the wind at our back in the 4th quarter. that is coaching blunder because Illinois State won the toss we should have taken the wind in the 4th quarter in case the game was close.
This is not a game where we collapsed. This was a game where the small things we did wrong added up to a loss. the punt that was 8 yards was essentially a turnover and it cost us field position.
The other problem that I saw was that Julius Childs was playing 10 yards off the receiver he allowed several third-down throws to be converted to first downs. Lack of pressure in the second half prevented us from shutting down the run game.
Illinois State is probably even with us in ability this year but when you look at the fact that we have youth with a true freshman quarterback and they have a big 10 transfer dual threat that is not too shabby so they probably have the edge. The fact that we don't make much in the way of adjustments is a whole other problem.
The penalties killed us too at critical times
JP21:
Bottom line is, we have a lot of great athletes. We don't have a lot of great football players. Thus, this is what you get a team that on paper YSU, looks great but when it's time to strap up especially on defense we get embarrassed. I'm tired of it, same stuff different year. It's time for Wolford to go. The guy hasn't accomplished a thing yet he walks around like he's such a great coach. Go back to the SEC and take your high powered offense with you. We need to get back to Defense, because right now it's embarrassing and has been since he has been here.
ValleyTalk:
Huge one next week vs Indiana State. It goes without saying it is a must win for us.
Defense needs to comeback in a big way.
Go YSU!
Dmorton:
Good Luck with that one Big Red! Especially now that they lost to UNI. Anyone who thinks NDSU is going to lose to YSU at home after the thumping they took yesterday is living in the same fantasy world Obama is living in.
