Sioux27 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Good defenses can make even good QB's look bad. Remember O'Sullivan v. Sioux? Who was O'Sullivan? Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 26, 2008 Author Posted October 26, 2008 Good defenses can make even good QB's look bad. Remember O'Sullivan v. Sioux? UC-Davis has been giving up points in bunches this season. I don't think their defense is "good" or "solid" by any stretch. Quote
Matt Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 UC-Davis has been giving up points in bunches this season. I don't think their defense is "good" or "solid" by any stretch. Holding this offense down on the scoreboard deserves a "good" for this game in my book. Quote
Sioux27 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Wasn't O'Sullivan the QB for Davis in 2001? Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 26, 2008 Author Posted October 26, 2008 Who was O'Sullivan? J.T. O'Sullivan was the UC-Davis QB in 2001 when the Aggies came to the Alerus Center for a D-II National Semifinal game. UND won the game 14-2 (giving up an intentional safety late in the game). The Sioux D had several goal line stands in that game. Quote
DamStrait Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 UCD going for it on 4 and 2 on the UND 32. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 26, 2008 Author Posted October 26, 2008 Holding this offense down on the scoreboard deserves a "good" for this game in my book. We've stopped ourselves on two drives in this half that should have ended in points. The Aggie defense isn't horrible, but it hasn't been great this season, either. We just haven't cashed in on our opportunities tonight. Quote

He has outscored Peyton Manning. Everybody thought I was crazy when I had him starting. Quote
Matt Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 When was the last time a Sioux defense gave up numbers like this...1986? Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Losses suck, but for some odd reason, I'm not that upset about this one... Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 26, 2008 Author Posted October 26, 2008 When was the last time a Sioux defense gave up numbers like this...1986? Last year, we gave up over 40 points vs. Western Washington on the road. The defense has been gradually deteriorating since Digger Anderson and company graduated and moved on after the 2005 season. If it doesn't change, we are going to have a rough time of it in DI FCS. Quote
Siouxru Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Losses suck, but for some odd reason, I'm not that upset about this one... how are you not upset about this one? this team had a losing record last year and 4 losses this year? not to mention our O-line and D has looked terrible. i'm worried going into SIU next week.

Coincidentally or not, 2005 was also Tim Tibesar's last year as d coordinator. Quote
DamStrait Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Coaching staff needs to be able to make game-to-game and second half adjustments. This is what the big boys do. Quote

Agreed. Dale Lennon knows this team better than anyone outside the current UND staff and he'll know how to exploit our weakeness, which are getting worse by the week. Quote

Not to mention there is little room for error in the way of conference losses when that's all there is to play for. Quote

Like I said, not sure why I am not more pissed...probably because this doesn't blow a playoff shot for us. Quote
yepdude Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 How many 4th and 1's on UC-D's side of the field did UND have today? Quote
DamStrait Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 1st down Sioux. And another. And another. Quote
Siouxru Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Like I said, not sure why I am not more pissed...probably because this doesn't blow a playoff shot for us. forgot to mention brady T looks very tender, playoffs or not we need these wins, not only for pride, but for recruits Quote
andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 I would say its best to let Treanbeth rest and call it a game. Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted October 26, 2008 Author Posted October 26, 2008 Coincidentally or not, 2005 was also Tim Tibesar's last year as d coordinator. I don't think that is a coincidence at all. Ever since we switched to this "Co-Defensive Coordinator" system, our defenses have been much less effective. I just don't think you can run a defense by committee like that. Also, I think the losses of coaches like Tibesar and Bubba Schweigert have hurt recruiting. Our players look a step slower then they did just three years ago. And I'm talking about both D-II and DI FCS opponents. Something needs to be done and soon. Quote
