  • My Thoughts on UNH game

    Had a chance to watch UNH against Colgate here are a few thoughts after watching game. Santos is a pretty big QB and he is strong he ran hard against Colgate they actually seemed to have a hard time tackling him. Seemed to run shotgun alot with the one back. Santos either gave ball to the back or pulled it out and ran himself "shotgun option" i guess it is called these days. Hard to defend if backers and d-linemen are not diciplined and stay in their gaps. If we allow them to get big chunks with this play we will be in a lot of trouble. This will allow them to throw the ball around and Ball is a very good reciever. They seem to run no huddle or get in and out of huddle real quick. This may cause us problems or we will have to make a decision as to personel and sort of stick with it hard to run substitutes in and out in this scenario. They sort of force your hand if we go with nickel package as we have played alot lately then nickel back will have to support real strong against run. If we play it straight with then LB will have to get a good drop and take away passing lanes. UNI has a very balanced offense I hope Cutright is available but we have a variety of receivers can't key on any one and we all know Horne can carry the load on the ground don't think weather will affect us as much as peopel think. Defensively I feel we will take away their run game or not allow it to dominate us and don't think they want to throw every down either. Pass rush will be key for us that and good tackling.
    Special teams will play big they scored on punt return too last week.
    I feel we have the team to win this game I really do.

    We'll need good kicks from Koss & Wing and good hands from Goodwin & Gray. It'll be critical to pin them deep and we'll need to field punts and kicks cleanly. We can't afford a dumb turnover like that. This is the part of the game that worries me the most.
    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
