  1. Well.....
  2. 2016 playoffs
  3. Und does nothing on offense to capitalize the TO
  4. Fumble!! Und ball!
  5. Regardless of opponent....that is insane! 6 total points in the last 7 games is just insane.
  6. 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
  7. 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!?
  8. I think they start rolling now. 13-0.
  9. Weber up 3-0 over sac st start 2nd qtr

    2018 Season

    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.
  11. 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.
  12. You think they are ready to compete for a national championship?? Do you deep down feel und is right there to take home the gold? Lets hear your thoughts on it ......post it with words not a cartoon pic Its been way to fu@king long since und has been relevant .....frustrating as hell.
  13. Would prefer a 4-3 scheme. More meat up front. If tank/Greer are off their game ....the entire front 7 is out of sync. The LBs were not helping either. Their o line is good....no sacks for und . Their rb is very quick and put together ....tough as nails. Ran with authority yet swiftness. Und isn’t ready
  14. I gave und credit for 8 mins of a nice looking offense.....that will not cut it in the playoffs ( if they are to make it). They need a competent offense that’s capable of sustaining long drives and finishing those drives with points on a consensus basis (regardless of opponent) to succeed on the national scene and to become a true contender. The glaring weakness on D is speed. The lack of speed will not cut it in playoffs ( if they are to make it) The D more often than not is pretty sound. When they are off their game ...the offense is incapable of helping out. The D is not allowed a bad game .....and when they do we witness Idaho st and Weber games. Perhaps the biggest issue for both the O and D is the lack of adjusting. This regime is extremely hard headed. They resist the notion to adjust accordingly to how the game is being played. They set their plan A and thats that!!! Playing a talented team and getting out played on both sides of the ball and no change. They live and die with plan A. That will not cut it in the playoffs. Without question......Rudolph. He’s been needing to be gone for 4 years now.
  15. Losing to those two teams at home will likely be what the committee will discuss.
  16. Squarely on the D? They had a bad game but where was the offense in 8 of their 11 drives? Und had a combined total 93 yards on 31 plays, zero tds in 3.5 qtrs. Und had 8 mins of a total 60 min game where the offense looked like an offense.....the last 5 mins of the 2nd and the first 3mins of the 3rd. 8 out of their 11 drives went 30 yards or less. Doesn’t sound like a winning recipe to me. Squarely on the D seems to be far fetched Anyone that watched the game would see that Weber was the better team. Weber just might have had their worst game of the year in regards to penalties and special teams. Und has done nothing this year on special teams yet they score 2tds against them(Weber hadn’t given up a ST td this year) and actually made a fg . Also, not sure on exact yards but Weber must have had 100 more yards of penalties than und. The score is not indicative of Weber’s dominance . Und looked like a playoff team for 8 mins Und will win the remaining three games. 8-3 with no wins over a playoff bound team, no conference affiliation and a current 2-2 home record. Will be 3-2 at years end. Will that be enough in the committees eyes to send und through into the post season?
  17. 8-3 is nice. The wins are not. Sam is an ok/bad team and Montana is 4-4. Not being associated with a conference will hurt the most.
  18. Horrible way of looking at it. To fold up a program because of a loss or losses is insane. Wow!
  19. So Montana gets crushed . What would the selection committee see in und to send them to the playoffs?
  20. I think theres more talent on O overall when breaking it down by positions. Brady, Santiago, JJ , Tobin, graham, waletzko, kett , Wanzek are better than tank , Deion, donnell, Evan, Noah,....etc. at their positions. But collectively the D plays better and more cohesively because of coaching.
  21. Play calling without a doubt!! The talent is there. Rudy has the talent and it seems as though he doesn’t you also want to hear the D sucks ....so I will give you a big YES!!! Und is very very average.
  22. Thanks for helping me out!? No need for time. Offense sucked d sucked special teams were way better then they have been
  23. I’m sorry if you don’t get it.
  24. Lol. Are you able to comprehend English? I mentioned the D as well. Cmon man.
  25. Completely agree. Football is without a doubt...the #1 team sport. It takes every position at every level to play to its best to succeed.
