So play calling isn't on the OC?

Last time I checked, Jerry doesn't call his own plays.

Play calling is OC’s call, HC can over rule, and QB audibles if he disagrees.

So - no one is doing their job most of this season - I can't believe this play calling problem hasn't been fixed or at least adjusted a bit.

"Most of this season?"  We were 6-2 after 8 games; I was at/watched all 8 games and, IMO, the play calling may not have been perfect, but was generally very good.  If we had Ziebarth for the final four games, the play calling MAY have succeeded/been different in the short yardage/red zone situations in question.  JMO.

 We win at least one of our losses, if not two if we have Zierbarth. Every team has injuries to deal with and we had our share that impacted our play.

Does my (once again) prepaid 2025 playoff tickets through the Champions Club include travel and accommodations to Cookeville?

Anyone see Schmidt comment on how they are trying to get one more team next year and are calling all around the country

More creativity and outside the box thinking could take us places.

I've long thought this would be a great idea.  Several hockey schools in the northeast are FCS:  Maine, New Hampshire, Ivies, to name a few.  But, is it too late to schedule non-conference football once hockey season starts?

We won against weak sisters - were you in a coma during our 5 losses to good teams - games we should have won - The Bison game?  Worst overall play calling I have ever seen.  We have a good team and went 0-5 in close games.  Look at our red zone success.

NDSU played Non-Conference St. Thomas the last week of the year.

I guess that's true.  Was that simply because the calendar favored a 12 game schedule this year?  Most times it's an 11 game season, I thought.  It doesn't seem common to play non-conference once conference starts, but if that were a plausible scenario going forward, the hockey/football 2-for-1 weekend would be great for fans.

Timing of that is somewhat determined by conference schedule. USD chose to play their 12th game early in the season while UND and NDSU for example had open weeks in September while USD played straight through.

Kinda depends on when their bye week hits. That's why they had St. Thomas they did not want to go three weeks without a game.

Correct. SEC has been scheduling FCS bodybag games in November for years.

Thankfully, the Doc has assured me that I should be out of my coma by noon on Saturday.

Losing to Presbyterian should have cost them the bye week.
