NINE Times?!?

[UNI MadCat]

Nine times. Channeling my inner Edward Rooney here to express my disdain for our best weapon getting only NINE carries tonight.

What a joke.

Re: NINE Times?!?

I don't know the dynamics of how the plays are called for UNI.

Both Salmon and Verduzco have OC in their title. And I don't know what influence Farley has on play calling...either directly or indirectly.

But I know this. Our offense is methodical, predictable, does not play to our strengths and does not use our considerable talent to it's fullest extent.

It is screaming for a change in approach.

Our coaches are amazing. Starting to understand why Kurt Warner won't come back.

Re: NINE Times?!?

Our national reputation continues to be neglecting to identify and properly utilize world class talent.

What a joke.

What a joke.

Who exactly is "world class", other than DJ? We have some other pretty good players. Vereen, LeMaster, Rummels. But, I also think many of you over estimate our talent level compared to our better competition.

Our talent level is way above SDSU and yet they celebrated on our turf today. Losing to more talented teams hasn't really happened yet this year.

Do you even follow UNI football?

I did. Didn't see him comment on it other than in general about questioning everything. Definitely a new tone for MF.

Regardless, please Mark, do something about it during the game rather than act flabbergasted after. It's not like they stopped handing it off when they got behind. At half DJ had 4 carries. Four effing carries. That's unacceptable. And then they come out from half and throw four straight times. The fourth of course being the pick.

I want to barf the deeper I delve into this game.

I literally could not disagree aany more. This team is absolutely loaded for the FCS level.

Manyt of the teams that have beaten us the last 3 years are not even CLOSE to where we are talent wise. Teams like USD and SDSU coming into the Dome and beating us is laughable.

Re: NINE Times?!?

Talent on the field yesterday wasn't even close to comparable.

SDSU defense was a bunch of slow white guys, UNI can't block and UNI qb's can't pass.

Guys are running wide open and over thrown a half dozen times a game minimum.

Recruiting and development of the offense line needs to pick up and you cannot go 4 years with an under performing QB. Coaching staff is going through the motions in both areas.

I have watch quite of few other MVFC games this year. I think all of the teams have as much talent or more than UNI. They all come from pretty much the same talent pool. Each team has a few standout players. Just because a kid goes to UNI does not give him superpowers.

Not to mention the fact that my post was obviously referring to this history of UNI football extending well beyond this years squad.

The three teams we have played in conference thus far do not have near the talent on their rosters. You are incorrect. NDSU is the only team with comparable or better talent and they have won three straight championships... This is a coaching problem, not a player problem.
