we are due!!

Very true, I thought for sure we had a pick, then its dropped. Very frustrating.

[Sioux94]

Think they need to do some catch em drills this week to hold on to those picks, we can't drop those next week and in Big Sky play. 

[iramurphy]

Watch our skill kids warm up.  They don't always look the ball into their hands. Should be every player every time. DB's, RB's, receivers, LB's, QB's, punters etc.  Basic fundamentals.  Look the ball into your hands every time you catch it.  You do it warming up, you do it in practice it, becomes a habit.  Makes it less likely you drop passes or interceptions.  Always need to pay attention to details.

Better? - The one good team we've played so far? -not good.  We'll see when we continue to bang within our conference - some very tough games left.  Stats can lie and I'm not really sure we can hang our hats on the Wyoming and Drake games, just yet?

[darell1976]

I meant better compared to last year. We had no offense last year through 3 games, this year there is signs of life.

[Siouxphan27]

Nearly dead last in total offense.  Zero turnovers caused by the defense.  Not sure how this equals getting better-   But I appreciate your optimism.

Scoring almost 10 more points per game than last year, and allowing 139 less rushing yards per game than last year is better. Some stats are still ugly like turnovers caused by defense and our passing defense, but some things are showing a couple beeps on the heart monitor. The big improvement....2-1 including an FBS win going into conference play.

[ClassB]

Not sure how you can look at those numbers and NOT see improvement? I understand it's been ugly lately, but when we're looking at facts lets look at facts.

Laid an egg v Misery State last year but played a much tougher FBS opponent. Overall, early offensive stats very similar to 2014 -- but trending in the wrong direction. Defense continues to improve, largely with "Muss recruits." Shows what a solid DC can do for a program.

Scored zero against Misery State...scored 9 against the defending National Champion. Scored 10 against San Jose St, racked up 276yds rushing and scored 24 in an FBS win. This offense  is better this early than last year. It's not saying much but any team will embrace an improvement over the past season, especially when you are rebuilding.

I didn't mean to put down the defense; but the way I wrote it did accidentally.      the defense is improved and going to keep us in games.  what I meant to say was the combo of one of the worst offenses in FCS and no defensive points or short fields created for the offense, is not going to result in much overall improvement.   hopefully this weekend tells a different story on the offense than what we have seen lately.

bump.  Where are you Darell

Not sure we can hang our hats on the Robert Morris and Misery St. games, either, since we're making comparisons.

Still good rushing defense.

 

Turnover is a big state we are a -6 in that department. -1 this last weekend. I want to see turnovers that led to points but I don't think that is an official stat.
