Gameweek: SDSU at UNI

Re: Gameweek: SDSU at UNI

I was amazed by the uni defensive staff this week for the game they actually blitzed alot and it helped out alot bringing the pressure and making there quarterback scramble and make some bad throws.

Anybody have any new on Montery Lenord (spelling?) he did not play at all and sat on the bench the whole game right below where i was standing??

Re: Gameweek: SDSU at UNI

Defense looked much better. Many of those yards came in the fourth quarter when they had no choice but to pass, and pass every single play, on little 5 yard dinks plus YAC.

Grace looked much better as the game went on. One REALLY bad throw, other than that he looked just fine. We don't need 250 yards passing from him a game. Like I told some friends at the game with me tonight, if he can get us 175-200 in the air and about 75 on the ground on top of C-Lew getting his 100+ and Law getting 50+ a week we will be fine. If we run the ball, the other team can't have the ball as much.

He still looks like a guy who hasn't really played QB a lot in 4 years, which he hasn't really in game situations.

I was real impressed with us tonight. Our punting really was a good sign to see him pinning SDSU like that

Re: Gameweek: SDSU at UNI

What a great win!!! Well done, Panthers!
But I have a few questions, and not sure if they are even relevant. Somehow I thought this was a "sure sell-out" game, but it was 1,000 below sell-out. Any ideas of why?
The CSTV scoreboard only had a gametracker on most of the second half. What I saw was penalty against UNI, penalty against UNI, penalty against UNI....it was almost as if we were trying hard to give the game away. For anyone in attendance, was there reason for all those penalties?
The only penalty I saw called against SDSU on the gametracker was for an ineligible receiver, late in the game, but the gametracker only said it was accepted, no play, and things went on as they had been!????? That does not make sense. Does anyone remember that call, and can you explain what really happened? Thanks!
Was the crowd loud today? Did they make any difference?
Thanks for any information anyone can give

If I remember it right, it was a short pass to their bench (headed towards the McLeod Center), ended up being a "broken play" and a lineman went downfield

Re: Gameweek: SDSU at UNI

I'm guessing it wasn't a sell out because they don't have as many ticket discounts as they used to. And maybe some people stayed home because it was on (local) TV. I dunno.

There were some penalty calls against UNI that I thought were rather bogus. Granted, I didn't always have the best angle, but still. Especially some of the personal foul calls called against us. Ugh. And they initially called a fumble on Grace when his arm was clearly moving forward. No, he probably didn't actually mean to release the ball, but his arm WAS moving forward. Luckily, the officials conferred and changed the call to the correct one.

As for the ineligible call, I can't remember the exact situation. But I know that the penalty negated a first down catch by SDSU, and it carries with it a loss of down I think. But it wouldnt' surprise me if gametracker didn't get the stats exactly right on it.

Re: Gameweek: SDSU at UNI

How can I say this??? The officiating crew had their heads up their a$$e$! The calls were BEYOND bogus! One SDSU touchdown pass was a CLEAR pick play, and multiple times the same O-Lineman that was called ineligible was downfield on other passing plays as well.

It seemed that after a hit on the SDSU QB early in the game that their coach was all over the officiating crew. After that, we started getting late hit calls -- two Panthers have a Jackrabbit RB in their grasp and going out of bounds -- WE get called for a late hit! Late in the game, there was a pass interference call in the end zone against was that was nothing more than a "spread" call -- we were beating them too easily so the official had to blow a whistle. Never seen so much jersey-pulling in all my life that wasn't called holding.

It's hard to watch a game like that (even when we ARE winning) when the officials just seem like they have never read the rulebook.

Okay, rant over....

Agreed. It didn't cost us the game so I can't complain too much, but I definitely expect better at the D-1 level.

Re: Gameweek: SDSU at UNI

By the way, Pat Grace did a great job today. Had the one terrible play and was not all that accurate today but continued to battle and had alot of success. I think today is the first time we actually got to see what kind of weapon that he can be. If Pat continues to get better every week and learn to not make the big mistakes, the rest of the Valley is in some big trouble, because he has the potential to be unstopable in my opinion.

Re: Gameweek: SDSU at UNI

Thankfully football doesn't have a technical foul for calling for a timeout when the team has none remaining, like in basketball.

Or maybe it does and it's an automatic delay of game (I figured the playclock just expired)



But I agree. He does show some great potential.
Just has some areas to grow in as well.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that saw that pick. It wasn't even a "route" pick, it looked like a straight basketball pick.

The ref's sucked, but we still won, which I think says something about our team. We can overcome those bull crap calls and still win. I like the make up of this team

Playclock did expire in that case, but something was odd about that play from the start. Even the coaches looked confused as hell.

He does have room to grow, but hell Sanders still had some room to grow last year. If Grace "peaks" soon we could be in trouble

I think that the coaches were deliberately taking their time getting the play in to take as much time as possible off the clock (with the new play clock system). Grace was just getting impatient...but just needed to realize what was trying to be done (just like with no TO's left) at that point in time during the game.

Re: Gameweek: SDSU at UNI

I think the Panthers showed nice improvement in last night's game. The secondary tightened up a bit, the D-line put more pressure on, and the O-line offered more protection for Grace.
Grace was obviously healthier and moved well. He continues to improve and while he lacks some consistency, I liked what I saw in the last drive before half-time. It seems when he doesn't have to "think" about what he's doing, he's a natural. Calling timeout when you don't have any left ~ I'll chalk that up to inexperience and impatience.
Overall, a much better performance by the team and momentum to build on for next week.
In this conference, you HAVE to continue to build and improve each week!
