Its solved. Kid was the 54th ranked shooting guard out of high school according to ESPN. Not bad. I assume he has to redshirt.

Yes but they were not getting pumped by 30 points that year.

I'm still not convinced its a lack of talent. Again, we are not a team that will win the Big Sky but on talent alone we are not 30 points worse than Montana and Montana St.

I'll go back to a point I made earlier. You are not going to win if you are playing true freshmen, RS freshmen and sophmores. Yes, you need them to step up but in FUs case, when the group you are mentioning was underclassmen they still had the play you would expect from juniors and seniors. If they would have taken all those kids as freshmen and had them getting the most reps, I do not think they would have made the playoffs following 3-8. I have not seen our JR and SR classes play like JR and SRs this year. And I don't think you can compare the two situations because of that. We are not getting the same level of play from those classes FU got following 3-8.

This^^^^^^

No kidding? I would guess firing your coach for underperforming is a form of demanding excellence. Maybe you should be asking that question of your women's AD. Buttfootball

No kidding? Great football mind.

If you look at years past I think you can find plenty of examples of games where Big Sky teams had good and bad defensive performances. As someone mentioned earlier, FU is kind of the defensive exception to the conference. There is nothing I have seen from a MVFC team other than FU that makes me think their defenses are any better than anything I have seen in the Big Sky.

I don't recognize the guy on the far left. Edit: Guy I didn't recognize was Benton.

Is it Estan Tyler?

Fantastic job ladies. They are on a roll. Looked like a lot of fun there tonight.

You can be big, fast and strong but if you constantly kill yourself with missed tackles, dropped passes, dumb penalties and get outcoached by a game plan you are not going to win games. There are some things talent alone cannot overcome. Do we currently have the talent to run the table and win the Big Sky?- Not currently. However, we are not 40 points worse than Montana and Montana St based on talent alone. I believe that.

Kuska is a good athlete who actually tackles well. After watching him on Saturday the only thing against him right now is his size (which will come) and he is a half a step slow in recoginizing run vs. pass (which hopefully improves with more reps). His redshirt was pulled so he should be playing.

It looked more to me like a team that was not prepared. Enough with the excuses. The guys out there are the same guys who have been out there all year and some of the younger guys should be seeing more snaps than the older ones. Kuska vs. Mackey, Edwards vs. Hensen, anyone vs. Peters.

You can't play with all freshmen and sophomores. Our jr and sr classes need to produce. To me it's been more lack of focus, motivation, discipline and effort than talent alone. Starts at the top.

That's why I think Norbergs tweet could have been about pulling a redshirt. He would be giving up a quarter of a season but Peters missed some obvious tackles today.

Probably the usual.

Do you think Norbergs may be about pulling his redshirt? After watching our mlbs today, he'd definitely play.

This needs to happen now.

Have to get some hits on him. Can't let him be comfortable with that shoulder.

Hoping the team found some confidence and discipline during the bye week. Thats a long time to think about the ass kicking from last year.

Are you going to send the list to the AD? This thread is as big of a joke as the Bohl one.

I read that to. All I was thinking was- I'm glad it took two different attempts at resisting or fleaing arrest for you to understand you made a mistake. Most people figure it out the first time.

At the end of the day hasn't this kid been through enough?

Well said.
