Midwestern Hawk

Would be huge

It’s always rollouts and screens

Lack of arm strength evident again. JMU daring us to throw deep.

D needs to bring some run blitz. Bring some heat on every play. Need to make a play.

Had a chance early . Offense so far has been Awful.

SHSU playing aggressive on D. Keeping Bison bottled up. Cam Miller struggling.

Zeb going to have to save the day?.......

Congrats . Quite the story.

Yep. Most of our FBS transfer have not amounted to much. They are not transferring to FCS because they were overwhelming at FBS.

After watching JMU vs VMI and Richmond I think they may be over rated. Good RBs but some holes in OL, QB is not super athletic, throws deep pretty well, but will fold when we get some pressure. Defensively they have some holes and are small at LB. We get off to a good start and never look back. 35-13 UND.

Overall this is a much more solid team than 2016 IMO. Obviously been a weird last year, but this team is winning games convincingly and seems to have much more top end talent across the board and much more depth. I was at the USD and NAU games in 2016, and winning games on pick 6 plays is not a long term plan for success. Don't get me wrong, was a great season in 2016 and very memorable but this team is just superior. Can't wait for the game on Sunday. Watched the VMI-JMU game last night. If we play a decent game we will win. Danny needs to take some shots deep early to take some pressure off the defensive box, and we need to be able to stop the run, which I think we can. Definitely noticeable differences between MVFC front 7 and CAA front 7.

Hit that QB a couple times and he will break in half.

I'm assuming this is sarcasm?

Looks like Spack made a mistake at ISU, by opting out. http://www.videtteonline.com/sports/trio-of-former-redbirds-speak-out-against-spack/article_398df3d0-a75d-11eb-86d1-b71ca4706dee.html

Me too. I think that makes us “junkies”.

The transfer portal is going to present a much different college sports landscape. There are several guys on the team who likely could play FBS, and play well at that level.

Also had a huge fake punt for 1st down vs SDSU this spring. Was a momentum changer.

Why do you think most throws are less than 20 yards horizontally and vertically? I know I am beating a dead horse, any throw further than that is a double move or a gadget play. It is what it is, but its pretty obvious when actually at the games. Hope Danny has a few more tricks up the sleeve.

That was on purpose.

Danny obviously saw a couple of tendencies of MSU secondary on early downs and took full advantage on those two early TD passes. Once the script ended and MSU adjusted, it did not go as well.

Believe me, I am in no way trying to rag on this team, nor anyone on it. This spring has been awesome as a hawks fan! I just can't imagine JMU doesn't see the same things I'm seeing. Play one high safety, tight coverage, and stack the box. I would make Tommy beat me deep or with his legs. The NDSU game was one of the more frustrating games I've ever attended.

The drive chart was much the same vs NDSU. Tommy won't run the ball for whatever reason and we only throw the ball downfield on double moves and gadget plays. Good teams play tight coverage to take away the screen-o-rama and stack the box to stop Otis. This team is so close, I just don't see how we take the next step with this offense.

So at 8:27 of the 2nd qtr we stopped trying to put points on the board? I know I'm on an island here, but after we went up 24-3 (35 yard drive) our offense was: 4 plays 31 yards, 1 first down - punt 3 plays 6 yards, 0 first downs - punt 3 plays 0 yards, 0 first downs - punt 4 plays 37 yards, 0 first downs - fumble 7 plays 26 yards, 2 first downs - punt 3 plays 6 yards, 0 first downs - punt 3 plays 6 yards, 0 first downs - punt

Missouri state being dominated by our defense and us hitting a double move and gadget play early is hiding some offensive problems IMO. After we went up 24-3 Saturday(early 2nd qtr) we had 80 yards of offense(and little TOP) 'til the last drive. The last 2.8 qtrs of the game were @NDSU 2.0.

From the little bit we have seen him in games and a few practice reports I have heard, Quincy IS a dynamic player, will it be for us or someone else? I would have put him in the game Saturday for the entire 4th qtr.
