shep Posted July 12, 2018 Author Share Posted July 12, 2018 Is his last name one syllable or two? Chavez is a common name with 2 syllables or is it like Chives a one syllable word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said people get it wrong a lot, but said it rhymes with one of the most outstanding student athletes ever to play here, so thank you Jonathan Toews. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaves is the boss, and he is used to watching competent offensive coordinators. And he cares about football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said that he would demand it? Two people CAN have a difficult conversation without becoming adversarial. However, Chaves can, and should, make it clear that if Bubba is unwilling to make needed changes (assuming the offense doesn't improve), he may not be the right man for the job. Should Chaves just sit on his hands if we have another season where we do not reach our potential offensively? I would think that both he and Bubba have higher standards than that. Coaching is a results driven career. Period. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of our games are against Big Sky Teams.....who aren't known for their defenses. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jdub27 Posted July 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2018 2016: 9-3 The offense averaged 26.9 ppg (removing the 5 D/ST TD's), 386 yards/game and 5.5 yards/play. The defense gave up 22.0 ppg, 355 yards/game and 5.2 yards/play. 2017: 3-8 The offense averaged 23.0 ppg (removing the 4 D/ST TD's), 386 yards/game and 6.0 yards/play. The defense gave up 34.6 ppg, 453 yards/game and 6.1 yards/play. The offense scored 4 less points/game, had a better yards/play and averaged the same amount of yards/game yet the team won 6 fewer games. I know why the defensive numbers are what they are but to continue to blame the offense for the issues isn't the answer. With the style of football UND is built to play, anytime UND puts up 21 points or more, they should win and they lost 4 games hitting that benchmark last season. I'm not saying the offense can't be better but I don't think it is as far off from what it's supposed to be as some think nor is it even close to what the biggest issue has been. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facts don't count things like going 3 and out 3-4 series in a row to start a few games, then when we are down by 20 points we get a 100 junk yards in the second half because teams are playing prevent with their cushy lead. Hell didn't UC Davis have almost like 40 points on us by halftime? Nor does it account for having our 3rd string QB being way better than the 2nd string and the 2nd string being so inept in the first half against MT that he has now changed positions. I remember seeing our yards per carry once last year, and it was a good average. Well I'd like to see our average YPC in the 1st half compared to the 2nd half of games. I haven't been as hard as some others on Rudy over the past couple of years, but we need to see something more this year. Scoring 21 points a game will likely lose you a lot of games in the Big Sky, sorry. Rudy has had his moments, we just need to see more. And more of finding ways to get the best out of the players we have, not base plays on the players we wish we had (OL). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the first half against UC Davic, the offense put up 312 yards of offense, averaged 9.75 yards/play and scored 17 points with TOP being 16-14 in favor of UND with one 3 and out (two for the whole game). How in the hell is it the offense's fault the defense gave up 38 points and 421 yards in one half?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many they scored vs how many they should have with any semblance of high level play calling are different. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a piss pour defensive game. 1st play of the game I think, we call a 3 deep coverage and our players can't cover a deep post....total horsecrap. And all season, we never seem to double the stud on the other team that we all know is getting the ball when it counts. But more often, with the ebb and flow of games, I recall our offense being pretty poor until it didn't really matter in the game, then stats were padded later in the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
