1-Slow and Steady- I will be the first one to tell you that I think our offense is anemic. Yet I will say that they have gone the direction of playing solid turnover free football. Allowing field position and our stout defense to win games. Hand the ball off to DJ and slowly get B. Carnes comfortable in the passing game. It is different from what we are used too, but it works. So great strategy, good ol’ fashioned Chicago Bear football.
2-DJ!- With all the specialty position talents we have, if DJ were not here, this offense would not work. I like this ground it out defense, rather than the roller coaster ride our team gives us when it gives the opposite team too many possessions to figure out how to beat us (Hint, just throw it up with under 2 minutes in the game). DJ is the one rock steady player we have that scares the crap out of every team we play.
3-We Pass?-Given the fact that we have been grounding it out so much, our QB has had man to man defense on our receivers. BC made them pay.
4-Can we Read and Run our QB?-We need to have BC run a little more. He almost always gain yards on his runs, this skill can make him deadly. On the Spread option, keep it a few times a half, not a few times every 2 games. Carnes also need to run the ball when no receivers are open. Take advantage of the skills you bring to the table and this opens up the pass, not allowing defenders to drop in coverage.
5-Defense Wins Championships- Wow!. What can I say about our defense? They are getting better and better every week. I am thrilled to see how dominate and confident they are becoming. With the offense not giving up pick 6’s, our defense is able to let loose. You saw flashes of this at IOWA, Hawaii, and Indiana State. They could not consistently perform. Now they are and it could not have happened at a better time than the start of playoff selection.
6-Kilfoy- I first saw tape on Kilfoy in high school and the tapes showed him always intercepting the ball. He is now taking his skills to Cedar Falls and man is it great!. He has a nose for the ball and is emerging as a leader on our defense.
7-SIU’s Crowd- What?! Is anybody there?
8-Keep the Course- UNI needs to keep playing the way they are now. Aggressive defense and basic offense. I am afraid if we try to get too fancy, we will shoot ourselves in the foot. I do not mind our offensive players manning up and making big plays, just don't get out of your current comfort zone. Let the defense carry us, play basic physical football and not make any game killing mistakes.
9-T.A.-We need to make sure we send off Terry Allen off properly next week in the Dome. Our boys need to focus and win this game and start off our second season, as one of the hottest teams in College Football. Go Panthers!!!
