after the game sounded correct, the defense of course has not played up to par. The prob as i see it is we are just out of sync, the front seven played pretty well yesterday and did ok against the run but the db's are now struggling. like filling the holes in a dam another leak keeps popping up we will be ok. We will have to get it together this week and d-line has to get some pressure on the qb this week and the rest of the season. Pass coverage will be better. ISU was throwing the ball up real quick almost to the point of timing routes hard to get pressure against that. The main thing is we will have to score points and o-line has to lead the way. I mean we can't score 3 points and win a game either. This is the day and age of sophisticated offenses when is the last time you saw a team get shut out or win a game 7-3 people will score in this day and age of offensive football now 38 points is too much to give but if we scored a little may have been different or better showing by defense. what i thought really hurt was the turnover when the game was 14-0 when we were ready to score if we score there who knows momentum and all. I really like our coaching staff and think they will figure a way to score some points and defense i feel has kind of improved in some of the early season weak areas now some of the other areas which were not cause for concern are sort or lagging. Lets all go to the game this week give them some home helping a little dome magic and kick some butt this week fellas.

My biggest complaint with the defense is the lack of pressure put on the receivers. It seems even with Dokes, a three year starter, we don't play press coverage. We are willing to give up all of the underneath stuff which seemed to turn into some decent gains at ISU last weekend. Can anyone help me understand why we don't apply more pressure to the WRs? This seems to have been the strategy since Farley has taken over...If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

It looked like we were trying to play press coverage a few times on saturday, but they burnt us deep. dokes can't physically handle pressing receivers like robinson...key couldn't do it either. there were coverage breakdowns all over against isu and they beat us deep in every coverage.Comment
