    I think there's more concern over this game than is probably warranted for a few reasons...

    - USD is a good team with a good QB
    - they play in a dome and are thus aren't as bothered by the UNI-Dome as some opponents
    - UNI was physically down after a real slug fest in Provo the week prior
    - the offensive line is still coming together and had some holes due to injury that will soon be filled
    - our QB made a couple bad throws that kept this close and was probably not yet 100% after taking a few helmet shots at BYU
    - we only gave up 13 points and still won by 2 scores
    - I suspect Farley is not yet showing the full package he's planning to "share" with the other league contenders

    I think a week off will help a lot. But we better be ready to go against SDSU. I know many were critical of them based on their performance against ISU, but when I watched that game I saw a hard nosed team that was a couple mistakes and a big play away from making that a game vs an improved ISU on the road.
    Nice post! Go Panthers!

      Game day can't come soon enough...while the two weeks has hopefully been well utilized by the Panther coaches and training staff to prepare and heal them, I'm ready for more Panther football ~ Go Cats!

        If we would play some man as well, that could be avoided...at least the YAC could be avoided
        We need more of a mixture we can just either play man or just play zone we have to give them different looks like lining up like we are playing zone then get up in there face and play man. Also look like we are playing man then drop off into zone. We have to keep the opponents offense on its heels by mixing it. That would be the most affective thing that we could do right now.
