    Agreed. Colgate looks for real. I thought they should be in the top 10.

    They have given up 60 total combined yards the last two games. 

    They beat #5 seed jmu two years ago  in the playoffs to get to the elite 8

    New Hampshire up on James Madison 28-10 right now. I didn't see that coming. 

    Jmu definitely not the same team as the last couple years that’s for sure.  

    A team that beat New Hampshire was Colgate (7-0 soon to be 8-0). Colgate has given up 6 points in the last 7 games , one of which includes New Hampshire.  They gave up 36 total yards last game and currently 34 total yards midway through the 4th of today’s game.  Their D has given up 2 total tds all year and those 2 came late in the 4th of the first game. Colgate made the elite 8 in “16”.   Colgate is not in the committees first top ten!?

     Overall this year the run D hasn’t been up to snuff.  Seems as though teams are figuring out unds D.  They have adjusted and found success...namely in the middle where und is usually solid.  

       With a 3-4 the defenses live and die by the play of the nose. The nose should occupy a couple of O lineman’s attention and most importantly be a gap filler.  It’s essential that the NG be above par for the front seven to have success. If they aren’t the alpha that day ......it creates a potential mess in the middle of the D, particularly with the backers. Exhausting position 

    In the 90s Callahan was a man amongst men at this position and because of that....und D thrived.  Alone, neither tank or Greer are Callahan...together they are a good combo but recently they havent been the alpha.   Watched those two during the weber game.....neither was winning and Weber exposed it. They were rarely double teamed.  Doesn’t hurt that Weber has a competent OC that is able to recognize and adjust.   He called a great game that best fit the talent that he has.  I’ve said it before ....und doesn't win games if the D is having an off game.   They are not allowed to have a bad game as the offense cannot compensate. 

    I have preferred the 4-3 for a team that wants to play the power game.  Not advocating und changes schemes or styles just simply my preference.  In a 4-3 there are two DTs that are gap fillers.  

     

    NG and QB .....unds two biggest recruiting needs every year  

     

    Why is it that und has such undersized OLBs?  Speed?  I realize that speed at OLB is a necessary key component to a 3-4 but 225 lb should be the minimum weight out there as they are in hand to hand combat with 300 lb o lineman. With a program that wants to wear you out...200-210lb OLB don't seem to be the answer.  

     

    * Mason is is an absolute stud...should be/better be all American this year  

    * verde looked fantastic vs Weber.   Explosive player.  like his game  

     

     

    Idaho matches up very well with unds style of play.  Hope the guys bring their A game today.

    I would take all three of their wide receiver units over our current. Would love to see what Kett could do with Hardin and Golladay 

    Fantastic duo. Add in Jameer....great trio.

     

    Nate would have similar numbers as he does now.  Rudy would have Kenny in the backfield powering him up the middle and Hardin would be used on the occasional jet sweep.
