Red Zone

[bobsboy84]

For the season, we are 4 of 8 (50%) scoring inside the red zone with; 1 touchdown, 3 made field goals, 2 missed field goals, and 2 fumbles. Our opponents are 5 for 5 (100%) with; 4 touchdowns and 1 made field goal. If we go 6, 7, or 8 of 8 then we are 2-0 with a going away victory over NDSU and a close victory over a very good top 10 rated SFA team. And, discussion would be "how close are we to a national championship" caliber team rather than "who should be qb" and etc.

I like this team. We are very good and have a great upside that will develop as we continue to improve and make a deep run into the playoffs.

Re: Red Zone

Agree..our problems are very fixable with a little more concentration and luck.

Re: Red Zone

We've been in the red zone more than 8 times and fumbled there more than twice.

Stats are from UNI Athletics web page. Don't know if they are official; I was thinking the same thing about frequency of red zone opportunities and number of fumbles. If the play begins outside the 20, it must not count as red zone?????

Re: Red Zone

I deleted my post because I decided it could be all wrong. I guess on several occasions we have started a play outside the red zone and ended that play fumbling in the red zone, which technically does not count as an appearance I suppose. Same way those plays that start outside and end up as a touchdown (like all of our scores last game) don't count as an appearance.
