After actually watching the game I have really hard time with this statement. The second half issues were far more execution than play calling. Kett was much better this week but is still really streaky. He missed a lot of easy throws in the second half including a screen that would have been a pretty big play. Who played Left Tackle Today?

I call BS

SHSU - 45 UND - 35 I hope I am wrong but I keep having flashbacks to when UND play SFA early in the year and speed and heat kicked UND's ass that day. That was about 8 or 9 years ago now. Any scores involving a UND FG are already wrong, so guess again.

I lived in Houston for a long time and heat and humidity are worse to play in than rain for a team from the north.

Would this have been a more accurate picture?

Common theme is that opposing teams are not impressed with the look a like thread.

I think you can argue playing a team with that type of speed and talent will really help prepare the team for anything the FCS level can throw at them. I short I do think is helps make the team better for the upcoming schedule.

I would like to see more shots down field even though I am not certain we have a WR that can scare the defense with speed but the big WR should be able to win some jump balls. Normally a ball control run offense needs to take a few shots to take advantage of a defense pressing the line to much or at least keep them honest and have to attend to the passing game. Against Washington UND threw the ball plenty but everything was short, it was at least partially because of talent differences but the offense needs to be able threaten the defense.

I guess my problem with the Bubba bashing is that the team was progressing every year up until last season. Last season was tough for some very good reasons. This year starts and we don't pound Jerry Rice U by enough points and get beat by a very good FBS team and people are already freaking out. I don't know for certain, but I would bet Bubba doesn't want to run a spread fast paced offense with his defense because he lived that situation before as the DC at SIU. Lennon is a defensive coach but when he left UND his offense struggled, he brought in a spread offense and had talent but still lost his job because that offense put the defense in tough spots time after time. They still only had only moderate success but scored more points and gave up more points. I guess it would be more exciting to watch but in the end it is a tough balance to find. Most of the problems I have seen so far this season are correctable, which wasn't the case last year. It makes sense that many don't have faith that changes will be made to fix the issues but I will hold off on judgement for at least a few more games. One major weakness (the offensive line) looks to be much improved and that can go a long way in making the entire offense a lot better.

Maybe we should fire all coaches in all sports after two years and see how that works out for the University!

So when do we all get official siouxsports.com football expert credentials? Will they get us into the pressbox?

So him ranting the same thing over and over adds to the conversation? It's like discussing something with a person that just yells the same point over and over and over again. He is super negative and that is fine but the repetition of his same over the top negative points is beyond annoying. I am not saying he doesn't make some good points on occasion but I really only need to read them once or twice.

What else should he explain, he is on the board ranting like an idiot all the time.

Well, at least Jacksonville State was able to see video or what they do prior to playing.

Usually the more someone says, the less they actually know. I think a fair comparison would be someone that sells a product compared to the engineer who designed the product.

I only caught the second half of the game but thought the OL played pretty well from what I saw. I was not impressed with our QB play at all, even with time he rushed throws and didn't keep his eyes down field. I only saw him make a couple good throws, the rest were off and badly off most of the time. He looked uncomfortable in spite of having a some time on most passing plays. Calling any passing plays in the second half was pretty much a wasted call between WR not getting separation and the QB playing poorly. What is the point of recruiting this big WR's if we don't toss them some jump balls in man coverage?
