homer

Will the defense that has played the 2nd half of about every game show up at the start of this one?? Key game for the season and I’m not overly sure what to make of it.

There were plenty of missed opportunities.

Likely more so that the QB has shown struggles finding and completing passes. Guys were open.

They didn’t stack the box but their secondary didn’t respect the pass game either. They saw a hole open up and they were firing right away with zero disregard for getting beat. It was very apparent at the dome. They may as well have walked everyone down

Opening kickoff. Generally a botched return leads to a tackle inside the 20. We allowed them to return it to the 50, they blew up guys on our coverage team, and set the tone for the day.

I thought it was fine. NDSU came in with a chip on their shoulder and was going to play physical. They were going to push the envelope that day and I wish we would have matched that. It was a difference in the game.

First kickoff was terrible. Generally on a play like that the returning team is inside the 20. Instead we have terrible coverage getting blown up everywhere and they are near mid field and they have set the tone for the game.

The offense going 3 and out certainly doesn’t help there. It was a team effort on the loss Saturday.

I’m starting to align to this a bit. NDSU safety’s had zero respect for a passing game yesterday and I’m not sure experience changes that.

Yeah I did. Uphill climb today against a team with 25 seniors but still expected to compete better than we did.

It was an ass kicking for sure

Our guys need to play with that chippy at times.

We didn’t win the toss

UND fan thinks we have the players up front to stop the run and OLBs to get some pressure. Devils advocate still has flashbacks to the 3 games prior to last year.

I listened to Swanny on 740 this morning and chuckled. Everything was how Lance’s stats are better than Bo. Similar to comparing the QB stats for both teams, the eye test tells that story.

I don’t see NDSU taking their best playmaker off of the field. I think his touches have been limited by how well Cam is throwing and running the football

Excited for tomorrow. This team has surprised people. I think some expected to be 4-1 at this point but still some question marks on how the boys got here. They either get answered tomorrow or some posters will be lining up to say “I told you so”.

4 of 5 are new starters. Doesn’t matter who recruited them, someone had to coach them and no one expected them to perform to the level they have.

He is playing at a very high level right now. Ball control/time of possession will have to be in our favor.

Some of you guys starting to show your colors after a 4-0 month

But eventually when players keep jumping the fans lose interest the first instant their teams don’t get those wins.

A tweet from Carl Reed Jr says the kids family hired an agent and they feel his market value is more than UNLV is paying him and that is what is behind it. Certainly his decision but far from his and your side of the story on this. Truth is likely somewhere in the middle but is UNLV still at fault for “scamming” him.

I don’t know what actually happened but UNLV is covering their ass since they cannot be directly paying any players. Their collective is not connected to their athletic dept. Everyone knows that’s not true but it’s the problem with NIL. Players and fans don’t understand it. The kid was apparently promised something from someone with no contract tying anyone to that promise. I’m not sure who is actually at fault the school for “making a promise” or the kid for committing their “based on any non binding promise”

Did UNLV “scam” him or did the UNLV collective?

Do we average 6 ypc in those games?
