#20 UNI @ South Dakota Game Thread

Re: #20 UNI @ South Dakota Game Thread

If this was any other team in the MVFC, everyone would be saying that this is a team starting to fall apart. I will still watch the remaining games if they are on the Watch ESPN app. Which, by the way, I highly recommend. I was able to watch the UNI, Illinois State and Western Illinois game on it yesterday.

I do not think the playoffs are the best reason to support the team (during the season). I would be a UNI fan if they were 0-12 consistently. I go to a lot of Pomona-Pitzer football games and they win a game about every two or three years.

Against the Stags of CMC-Mudd-Scripts?

To be fair he didn't have to play the 2nd half in 2 of the games, he'd be up around 130 if he had. I am honestly surprised that Zenner hasn't worn down, the Jacks use him a ton.

That's a great point - hadn't thought about that.

It's actually not a great point at all because the same can be said for nearly every player and team on that list. Every team plays one or two cupcakes early in the season that allows them to rest starters.

I doubt the Jack's really needed Zenner for all 4 quarters during the 41-3 trouncing of UW Oshkosh. I also have a gut feeling SIU didn't require Malcom Agnew to play the whole game during their 45-0 victory over Taylor.

Congrats on the W. Could someone comment why both your QB's, when in the shotgun formation, would always touch the ground with their right hand shortly before the snap. I assume it is some sort of timing thing.

Silent snap - to avoid issues with crowd noise. Done regardless of how noisy the crowd is.

I'm one of those people.

The defense & special teams played very well to great. The offense was a train wreck running into a plane crash.

Re: #20 UNI @ South Dakota Game Thread

Rushing Attempts in MVFC (6 Games):

Zach Zenner (SDSU) 149
Malcolm Agnew (SIU) 132
J.C. Baker (WIU) 113
Martin Ruiz (YSU) 112
Marshaun Coprich (ISUred) 108
John Crockett (NDSU) 106
David Johnson (UNI) 101
Trevor Bouma (SD) 94
Buck Logan (ISUblue) 87
Kierra Harris (MSU) 78

This makes some sense. The UNI coaches have to work with a fairly poor offensive line. Even against UNC and TTU there'd be three white jerseys laying on David one yard past the line of scrimmage and 3-4 UNI O-linemen are standing 5 yards beyond the play and have to turn around and walk back to the huddle.

I love it when people complain about other people complaining. Pot, meet kettle.

Our completion percentage from our QBs this year is 47%.

Or sit on a pedestal and pick everyone else apart; that's fun, too.

I see no reason to not get playoff fever until we are mathematically eliminated.

It took me approximately 24 hours before I started thinking "If we can beat SDSU and get some confidence back in the offense I think we can..." I so cannot practice what I preach! LOL!
