Re: My analysis

Well, Jay, it was something like 16-3 at one point.....if our defense had played that well, they would NOT have allowed 16 points......in spite of, what was it, 3, or 4, pass interceptions?!

Yes, the defense really should have stopped Chris Garrett from returning the UNI pass that he intercepted and ran back for the touchdown.

Re: My analysis

I was at the game and stomached the whole thing. If anyone places blame on the defense for that game they are flat out wrong. ISU did a good job at the end and our defense didn't make the one big play they needed to win. But, they also were SOLELY responsible for us even being in that game at all until late in the 4th quarter.

Agreed. We shoulda had 45 points.

Re: My analysis

Since last seasons two playoff games, I've seen more three and outs in the first, second and third quarters than needed. I've seen stalled drives that end up as punts or threes. I've seen the defense stop opponents, over and over, to keep us in games when we should be up by fourteen. The offense does smelling salts at the end of a game and gets aggressive. If we're lucky we gain a lead, then hand it to the defense to stop them one more time. I've seen Zach Davis rise for big games and Pat Grace shrink.

Re: My analysis

Back to Quentin Scott...with the number of large receivers in the NFL these days, I would think a tall safety might come in pretty handy. Also, he would have the size to man up on a tight end. You could possibly slot him as a linebacker on passing downs but I don't know how well he'd handle the run if they ran it at him.If he gets with the right coach he could play a lot.

I don't dislike Zach, but what big game did he rise for?

He got suspended for the Iowa game.......and sat the playoff games last year...
