We need a stop here!

I'm sure that is what everyone is noticing and talking about

Exactly, we took a huge step backwards on the OL this year. Every year it's always something.

Another butt kicking from EWU, no wonder their fan base thinks we are a joke....I would too.

Don't you love it when you look forward to something all week, and then it's a complete sh*t show right out of the gate.

Rudy's offense could actually run the ball some thought at least. Wish he was in the building today. Our run game is horrendous. We are playing a crappy defense and we are completely inept!

Now put Shuster in, that pick was 100% on Kett, way behind the receiver.

Eastern has a piss pour defense....and we are going to have about net 0 yards in the first quarter!

1st and 19...and we can't even run it for a damn yard!! I'm sorry we are going nowhere this year with this run game.

Put Shuster in, chuck the pigskin!

Do we suddenly have the worst OL in the FCS?

Well, we give up 7 with them going into the wind. This game will be over by halftime if we can't run the ball.

Never in my life would I have thought I would want our offense for last year back. I'd rather have our offense from last year today. JJ nothing on the first carry. Going to be a long day if JJ is going to avg. 1 YPC again. Now a fumble. Ugh

Nice!!

If the conditions end up being complete crap today, does Boltmann play more? If we aren't able to pass much anyway, maybe Boltmann gets more reps today....obviously he'd still have to throw some. I wonder if they've been giving him more reps at QB the past two weeks given the QB situation.

Might just come down to who wants it more. 37 and rainy is going to be pretty crappy conditions, need to stay focused despite being so cold and wet! Get off to a fast start to take the will out of them early!

I agree with you that UC Davis will likely look like a better win this year and benefit us more, but we've been completely embarrassed by them since we joined the Big Sky. This win would be more gratifying for me long term, and i would love to be the team that knocks them out of the rankings to break their streak....and do it at their house. Plus if we lose to Davis, that would give us another 'quality loss' But hey I'd be down for winning both!

A D II school scored 30 points on them this year, we need to score 40.....and hold them to under 40 and we win. If Idaho can hold them to under 30 we can do it. They are at home though and their backs are against the playoff wall right now so they are going to be pretty amped up. We need to get off to a good start in the first quarter!

On a normal blocking scheme there is supposed to be a designated hole/gap. In zone blocking......not 100% sure....but does the back just view and look for the best hole, or is there supposed to be a designated gap for the RB to look for? If so, JJ is probably more effective when he knows he has to barrow through a designated hole. Of course on any scheme, a RB may need to bounce it out of the designated hole, but wonder if JJ's skill set isn't the best match for zone blocking? Either way, hope we figure it out this weekend, I'm sure it's been a focal point the past two weeks. Gordan seems like he'd be a good RB to slide and pick the best hole.

I'd say this helps them slightly more than it helps us. We are use to playing in a dome, they are use to playing in crappy weather at home towards the end of the year, so crappy weather games are normal for them. Been a while since we've played a crappy weather game hasn't it? Our DB's have been playing great, if a DB slips....boom a WR is wide open, granted this could happen to either team. I agree with the other previous poster that a lot will depend on if their QB has a hot game or not, and if we can get any running game established.

I agree, that bothered me too. I wanted to make a comment and reply to that, but until our team actually shows up against them I just left it alone. We've been completely embarrassed by them for years, it's time to change that this year!

With last years offense, we would have loved this as we were ground and pound. This year I'd rather just take perfect conditions and just flat out beat EWU.

Interesting, hopefully the good EWU doesn't show up for 4 quarters this Saturday.
