Up Next: SFA

Re: Up Next: SFA

Anyone who fumbles inside the ten shouldn't play in the next game...but then who would we have on offense? We need to be on "C'mon Man!" We apparently missed the no fumble drill in spring ball. It's a hard pill to swallow b/c our offense started to put it together, all but the part about not dropping the ball. Who do we play against ISU at QB? Rennie and Davis both had key fumbles. Carlos had his 3rd red zone fumble in 2 games, does he start at RB? Shouldn't, but probably will.

Someone please take the gun out of our hand we keep shooting our foot with. Or let's at least get some bullet proof cleats.

I think the staff should "plays up" rennies injury keeps ISU guessing about who is going to play and hampers their prep.

They way they "played up" the competition before the start of the season... this is very likely. And I'm good with that.

2 of the fumbles were because they were fighting for extra yardage that wasn't there. Dumb dumb dumb.

I don't know how it appeared in person.... but was the Carlos fumble inside the 10 caused by the defensive player? On line (to me) it appeared that the defensive player put his helmet on the ball, creating the fumble. Not making excuses, just wondering if that one was a little more forced than the others....

Re: Up Next: SFA

Not for fumbling (although one could argue it comes down to emphasizing ball protection), but rather for the god-knows-how-many penalties. It had to be 15-20. I realize the players commit them but it has a lot to do with discipline.

I think someone put a hat onto, because it went more that 5 yards in the air, arcing up.

Re: Up Next: SFA

They are "effort" fumbles, similar to Adrian Peterson. Doesn't make them suck any less, but it is hard to love the big play effort on one play and then curse it on the next. These guys are taking us on a roller coaster ride of highs and lows for sure.

Re: Up Next: SFA

We are really missing a power back in the offense.

Where is our JUCO RB? Wellington, I believe. I thought he was going to contribute.

I'm sick of watching us run up the gut with Carlos. He is not that type of back. When we need a yard or two, we need a bigger RB in there.

I agree with this. Too many penalties, and too much jawing. Both signs of a discipline issue. I know a team needs swagger and confidence, but getting penalties for running your mouth after a big play is selfish and unnecessary. Holding penalties will always be called (unless its against the other team, for some reason ) but the unsportmanlikes, the false starts, and the blocks in the back...we can do something about that.

From the online feed, it did appear that Carlos got nailed pretty good and the defender put his hat right on the ball. Doesn't excuse, but possibly mitigates.
