It would be nice to have a bigger stadium but do we really NEED one? IMO--No. Quote

No, they had a one-man offense and a questionable defense all along. At this point, they're a bubble team needing a win against a better team to make the playoffs. Quote

Early season greatness and then then lose steam and Streveler can’t continue to get beat up each game and maintain his level of play. 3 Quote

That kid can sling the ball from numerous angles and positions. Plus hes pretty quick. Quote

I'd argue that their style of play was dictated by their personnel. In any case, their style of play hasn't changed. If it's unsustainable now, it was unsustainable all along. Quote

No. They were actually really good to start the year. They were smoking teams. Once Streveler started getting banged up and those guys got in trouble the wheels fell off. The ISU game where they beat him up was the tipping point. 2 Quote

homer Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 Their QB being injured is a start. He came into yesterday no where near 100%. Their fans saying it, not me. Plus a mess of off the field issues (kind of a major one) the last few weeks and the team is a mess. They don’t beat you with a healthy Streveler, but he is much better than he showed yesterday when not hobbled and their offense is much better. Quote

I realize Streveler is everything to them, but banged up? What does that mean? He’s clearly healthy enough to play...I mean is anybody 100% at this time in the year? We have played the last 3 games without our best running back. That’s sort of part of the game come November and December. USD has looked great against inferior opponents and has struggled mightily against even above average teams. I think the team we are seeing now is exactly who they’ve been all along. They are just playing better teams the past 4 weeks. Quote

The team i saw yesterday didn’t have the same mojo as the one I’ve seen previously. Same as their game against ISU when Streveler got pummeled. I think their best wr was hobbled as well. Quote

I believe all three of their losses have been road games, so there may be something to that. But, getting physically manhandled on the line and having your star run for his life will take the “mojo” out of nearly everyone. Quote

The way Strevler moved around yesterday he sure didnt look like he was banged up too bad. Quote
