    Re: USD Game

    Okay I didn't get to listen to the game, but I've seen some comments that coaches did a better job this time around... can someone explain how/why?
    "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

        UNI rolled up a bunch of offense but only scored one TD. Need to finish more drives but at least they didn't turn it over a bunch today.

          Also nice to see the Frosh Punter avg 49.2 yds.....wow...

          Many players caught passes too.

            Why the change at punter? Did Bernard get injured on the field goal fumble or did he lose the starting job?

                  Although both QBs did play, as Rennie got hurt and had to come out for a few plays.

                  Luckily, Davis had gotten at least some of the snaps in practice, I assume.


                  Play calling still wasn't the best.... in that I really don't think they used a scheme that best utilizes the strengths of the offensive players that we have. But, it was enough to win this particular game. So, I won't complain too loudly.

                    a rather odd/amusing picture.

                    Does Hallgren always stick his tongue out when kicking?

                      I'm surprised that this was almost our game with the lowest rushing yardage total for our offense. (146 yards at Iowa State, 147 yards today at USD).

                      Granted, the botched FG attempt gets recorded as a "team rush" for a loss of 21 yards. But still, even 168 yards is a very low total on the ground for our offense.

                        Good to see Rennie finally spreading the ball around to Leonard, Oordt, Turner, Sinkfeld, Collins and Herring.

                        Our inability to scores TDs in the red zone is reaching an absolute ridiculous level.

                          way too many dropped balls by our receivers (and our D-backs at times, on what should be interceptions. but their primary job is to break up passes, not catch them, so I won't rag on them too much).

                          True, the throws may not be PERFECT, but when the pass hits you in your hands and/or right on your numbers, you should be able to bring it in.

                            Rima and Petey really made it sound like a lot of "catchable" balls being dropped yesterday. We have to shore that up going forward for sure. Petey also said that Rennie looked pretty impressive with his passing yesterday. Good things to build on, hopefully.

                              There were at least three balls (that I remember seeing) that were in the receivers' hands, and dropped. Those were not easy catches, that I recall. The receivers had defenders on them, hands in on the ball, and the receivers were near the sideline, etc. Not counting the INT, as even though the receiver was able to get one hand on the throw, it was a stretch. That was as much a freak INT as the last USD TD was.

                              Overall, Rennie's passing performance versus the first couple games looked to be night and day different, in a good way. If he throws like that for the remainder of the season, there will be no QB controversy. None.
