Biggest issue is that the O Line continue yes to be awful.....

Rudolph can't make the blocks. There have been plays that would have worked if guys didn't whiff. Also, I don't trust Taubenheim. His leg isn't strong enough to kick in the wind.

Tough to block when everyone in the stadium knows what's coming on every series

Because the bobcat d knows it's coming up the middle 1st and 2nd downs!   Easy pickings!    

[UNDBIZ]

Newell is working us running the ball. 

[ChrisUND1]

Extremely predictable offense by Fighting Hawks.

That's not the whole story. When the defense is selling out against the run, play action works to provide time by misconception. Not to mention, Studsrud is mobile and needs to be involved on run-pass options to assess the defensive rush and not get blind sided.

It's the 4th game of the season and we still haven't scored an offensive point in the first quarter - Looking at you, Rudolf

UND-FB-FAN >>>> Rudolph 

[geaux_sioux]

There have been at least 4 plays were if an OL doesn't whiff we have a nice gain at least. That's not on Rudolph.

Gigli then?

[geaux_sioux]

Also Santiago is getting impatient. He's trying to get 25 when a simple 4 will do. Hense the fumbles and miss reading holes.

It's an obvious issue at this point

You mean Knaupf but no it's on the individual players.

[SIOUXFAN97]

on any given game that und plays i have about a 99% confindence rate taht schmidt is better at his job than the opposing offensive coordinator...at this point i feel that rudolf is at about 10%

[UNDBIZ]

If I'm msu I just hand it off to Newell every play. 

[Cratter]

No big comebacks when you're on the road.

[Boogieman]

Our tight ends have to be getting tired of not getting to suit up for games...

[bincitysioux]

We are getting  handled at the the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball........

[UNDBIZ]

Defense bends but doesn't break. 6-0 MSU

You hit that one on the head. Any chance we get Cloyd involved in passing game like fellow true freshmen Toivonen and Wanzek? Would be great for entire team

BAD. Wasn't expecting that on d. And with how Newell runs it's going to be tough to keep them out of the redzone. Someone needs to penetrate, their OL isn't big but they're getting the job done with leverage.

[Sioux94]

Alright time for a So Long Santiago run to take the lead!!

[geaux_sioux]

Aplin back in. Mercer looked like Iwarri on that one....

[UNDBIZ]

4 straight passes. Must be in panick mode already. 

[geaux_sioux]

So when Rudolph sucks at play calling we march down the field despite false starts. Then you pass happy guys get what you want and we go three and out with almost zero rest for the d.
