Up Next: Southern Utah

Re: Up Next: Southern Utah

I have never quite figued out why we switched to the pistol. It is a passing formation. Then a running quarterback was brought in. Imagine how much more effective Rennie would be in the old offence running more option plays. The pistol limits the read option. Also with more of an option game CA would be more effective.

Oregon runs the pistol....it isn't really a "passing" formation.

Re: Up Next: Southern Utah

So, question for all of those that thought David could handle the load in the backfield all his own.....Still think he can?

He is less effective without Carlos/healthy Rennie.


He will still be a very good back, but he can't and won't do it alone.

I have been very critical of CA. To me he seems to get zero yards after contact and even worse....not really a red zone threat.

I agree...anytime you take away other starters, it probably impacts your top RB.

What I'd like to point out again, and what I think many on here under appreciate is the ridiculous production DJ has provided this year. He is almost a lock for 100+ yards rushing and receiving.

CA has 7 career TDs and a little over 200yds receiving.

DJ has 11 career TDs and is our leading WR in catches and only 10 yds shy in yards. Additionally we probably lose against YSU without DJ to pound it in at the end. He is a red zone threat and a large receiving target at 6' 3"

GO CATS...don't care who produces....just win!!!

Re: Up Next: Southern Utah

David is noneffective out of the pistol formation (which for some reason we think works). Lets stick him beside Rennie, or in short yardage situations lets put Rennie under center and let David get a head of steam.

There is times when DJ is 9 yards deep in this formation....thats nutz!!!

Agree with the above.

Re: Up Next: Southern Utah

total yardage and yards per carry, Johnson has not been as productive as Carlos has been in the past. Johnson has definitely more productive receiving and short yardage rushing. Both need to see meaningful amount of plays when Carlos is 100%, hopefully that is getting close.

One thing is for sure, Johnson needs to stop fumbling. He had another fumble last week, luckily it went out of bounds. Whatever turned Carlos and Rennie away from fumbling, needs to happen with Johnson.

Re: Up Next: Southern Utah

Speaking of Southern Utah, I watched the replay of their game with Northern Arizona. Either NoA is really good or SoU is really bad.

Too bad UNI doesn't (can't) play the Lumberjacks as often as they use to.

Re: Up Next: Southern Utah

I thought they play No.AZ next week? Maybe I read their schedule wrong.

Just a reminder that one's football ticket to tonight's Southern Utah vs. UNI game will also get you into the 4 pm UNI volleyball match in the McLeod Center as the Panthers take on the Drake Bulldogs.

Re: Up Next: Southern Utah

Nice defense by uni on opening drive. Sag off 10 yards and let them score easy.

Re: Up Next: Southern Utah

Utah looks fat and unathletic. This should be a blowout if uni just plays like the wajt to win.

Re: Up Next: Southern Utah

So much for a blow out...ugh!

Re: Up Next: Southern Utah

Uni defense sucks. Sagging off so bad it is patuetic. Utah shouod pass every down like free money.

Re: Up Next: Southern Utah

Farley always plays sagging pass D. He doesn't feel the need to change it when they play teams that only have a short passing game. It's ridiculous.
