Re: Farley Post-Game Comments

So according to the Courier article we borrowed our trick play from ISU's playbook. Sure, why not run a play that they have seen in practice. Seems logical to me!

SK mentioned that in the past game press conference.

Thought the same thing. It is like running a fake reverse in a game before you actually run the reverse. We've done that many times in the past, too.

Re: Farley Post-Game Comments

Every team has had a double pass run against them at some point or another, just like they've had screen passes run. There is no secret to defending them, it's just a matter of awareness that when the first pass is a lateral, it is possible that they may throw it again.

I have no problem with them attempting that in that situation, just wish it had been executed a bit better.

Re: Farley Post-Game Comments

I myself thought that the backwards bounce pass that SIU ran against us a few years ago was more confusing because half of the players stopped when the ball hit the turf even though there was no whistle.

UNI at Illinois State Press (part 1)

definitely worth a watch/listen

Thanks, vb. Agree that this is worth a watch/listen.

Would have preferred to just keep them on their heels a bit on that series and try to drive it down the field. A score with any time left at all and you still have a chance. Of course, when that play failed so miserably it is really easy to feel that way, too. Had the play worked it would have been the best play ever. The execution seemed off, though, too. The throws seemed way too long from one side of the field to the other. Like I said, easy to pick it apart when it failed and ended all hopes.

Had Charles Brown not gotten crushed and fumbled into the end zone the series prior that double pass play could have been the play that would have given us the lead. Coulda, shoulda, woulda.

Still waiting to hear that we are looking for a new offensive coordinator...

I'd believe it when I see it.

Re: Farley Post-Game Comments

The lack of a seed and thus no buy and having to play a conference opponent was a huge factor in the ultimate outcome Saturday. You think the ISUr staff spent one moment on SFA? Nope a week to put to game plan, self scout, and tinker…would have been a great win, plus I really thought our guys were tired, it was the 7th straight "playoff" game and for the entire 1st half they looked tired and the Redbirds looked fresh. I was really hoping against hope that SDSU would have pulled the upset because I think if any program has any pull with the NCAA and how it conducts its bussiness it the program to the Northwest…maybe the close call will lead to some changes to the absurd playoff format! Just curious, why didn't Liberty end up playing CC, just a thought, if the West and midwest teams have to play conference oppoents in the 2nd round b/c of geography (why penalize teams from the mid-west and west just because they play in the best conference and have fewer teams within the bus requirements)well that should be the rule across the board. I still can't get over that being new to the FCS!

Re: Farley Post-Game Comments

If Liberty hadn't "upset" JMU, there would have been a second-round all CAA matchup. I'm sure when setting the matchups that they plan on the home teams winning.

I thought Brown fumbled on our last drive when we were down by 20 (after the double pass and then the final TD by the Birds). Pretty sure we were still down by 13 when we tried the double pass with about 4 and a half minutes left in the game.

Re: Farley Post-Game Comments

The fumble by Brown occurred after ISU's last touchdown. But the possession prior to the double pass, the offense had moved the ball to the ISU 30 but didn't gain a yard after that and turned it over on downs.

Re: Farley Post-Game Comments

One thing you gotta like about Farley.

He ALWAYS talks about the fans in his post game comments and press conferences...how loud they were and how much they helped the team.

You can tell he gets pumped up seeing UNI fans show up on game day.
