From Tom Miller game story in Herald.

UND sent in Vaughn, who ran in a goal-line situation last week against Northern Iowa. The Hawks were expecting YSU to focus all efforts on Vaughn, allowing Vaughn to find tight end Jaden Norby sneaking out the play.

 

 

So the whole play relied on YSU not covering Norby when he ran out in the flat. The defender went with Norby....so play basically blown up at that point. Pinning the hopes of winning the game on the defense not covering a guy. 

I wondered if they ran that play the previous week to set something up in the future. They did, and if it was 4th half a yard maybe the defense focuses 100 percent on the run. When I saw that formation my guess it was going to be some type of miss direction pass and the defense new it too.

I was wrong.  Looked run all the way with the OL release.  That and the 3rd and 2 would have been nice to execute.

After a day of reflection, we can all blame the 2 point call, but the D was the reason we lost.  They cant run the ball, they barely pass the ball, the only offense they have is their QB.  Contain him and they got nothing.  "You had one job" and they failed miserably.

Watch Belquist’s route. He doesn’t run it like it’s a pass play until he’s sees it’s been blown up. This is why I was so critical of that shotgun formation against UNI. That got blown up too but their guys hit Q simultaneously and bounced off. Plus Simon was actually playing well and looked in control and they took him off the field so of course they pinned their ears back with no threat of a pass other than to 1 rb and 1 wr. If anything have both Q and Simon in the backfield. Now the defense would have to think more. I just think it was an overall bad concept and I hope they burn that page of the playbook.

Plays that rely on blocking the path of the ball are 50/50 at best. Our best runs are continually block left and run right or flip the other way.

Just a Monday morning reminder:  Bo was destroying their DB's the entire game in embarrassing fashion.  So naturally on the biggest play of the game UND takes out Simon, who is playing BY FAR his best game, and puts in a tight end who cannot complete a pass to save his life and decides to throw to a fullback in the flat while Bo runs a halfass decoy route on the back side.  

There is a 95% chance that Bo would've beat his guy in the corner of the end zone on that play.

If that somehow turned into a completed pass I assume our OL would have been flagged for being ineligible downfield anyway. Still not sure what that guy was doing

If the OL would have caught it and scored would be 5 yards and repeat down? If so we would have probably kicked the extra point.
