Gored birds game week

[Trapped in California]

Has Huggins seen the field today's?

Yes. though it was mentioned that he was battling an injury, and didn't know if he would play.

Re: Gored birds game week

So....my take....stayed with bailey too long...our receivers.....not good...way too many drops and no separation ...none....

Apathy. Here comes apathy.

Re: Gored birds game week

There's nothing really to say about the QB situation that hasn't already been said. When Sawyer's in there, I feel like we have a legitimate chance to win. And I don't feel that way with Bailey. It's as simple as that, yet Farley seems unwilling to swallow his pride and give Sawyer a chance to start and play a full 4 quarters.

Same same same same story...losing interest...

Re: Gored birds game week

Great 2nd half by the D. Gave us 2 or 3 chances to get back in that game.

WR's need to step up their game. They hurt us today.

I don't doubt AB's athleticism and desire to win. But the offense with him at the helm is not good enough to beat the quality of D's we're gonna see in this league. Farley should have read those tea leaves during the Iowa State game.

We were no threat to score for a large portion of the 1st half of that game. Great call on the throw to Malloy but otherwise...totally anemic.

Cut Joe Davis and Sawyer Kollmorgen loose with the full arsenal of the spread offense and see what happens. Watch the running game open up.

Without that I think this is a 7-4 or 6-5 season. With this defense...that is a huge disappointment.

Re: Gored birds game week

Apathy. Here comes apathy.

Coming into this season...with the addition of Joe Davis and the defense UNI has...how we could possibly be talking about apathy at this point is hard to imagine.

But if MF continues on his life long search to find the next Armanti Edwards...that will likely be the case.

Re: Gored birds game week

Next week will be a disaster.

I would say winning out after next week probably gets them in playoffs but if Bailey is going to play 3 quarters every game that seems unlikely.

I am ready for a coaching change, probably will not happen for another two years and by then UNI football will be truly in the crapper.

Iowa football seems to be having a rebirth, that will hurt UNI in terms of interest and tickets sold.

Sad thing is the talen is there. The head coach is the problem, he has some mental defect that causes him to want a poor man's Michael Vick.

Re: Gored birds game week

Man, would like to see Sawyer get the start next week and then have a wildcat package for Aaron as a change of pace. I remember how sharp we looked with that strategy a couple of years ago against a good McNeese State team with Sawyer starting and sprinkling in the wildcat with Brion when he was healthy.

Re: Gored birds game week

Still trying to figure out that Kollmorgen keeper call with about 4 minutes left.

SK can sling it...but he runs like the produce manager at the Cedar Falls Hy-Vee.

With time being an issue...why would you call that. If you want to use that...play SK earlier in the game and use it to take some easy yards or pick up a 1st down.

Late in the game when every down and second is precious...seemed like a waste.

Re: Gored birds game week

Sounds like that Farley mentioned in post that Rohr was "lost" (injured) in the off week, and could not play this week. Maybe for the season?

Schmadeke has some sort of leg injury from Cal Poly game.

Also, how does the first half play out if Dorleant was playing?

Re: Gored birds game week

Wow, too bad. Sam's been hurt most of his career. Kid can't catch a break.

Re: Gored birds game week

We will never win with Sawyer what the biggest problem is...our recievers. Dropped passes and lack of separation. Maybe it is our coach of recievers. don't know which one but if we are going to have an open offense you have to catch the ball when the QB hits your hand. Especially in the end zone when it would have cut the score to 21 to 17 with 7 minutes to play And can someone tell me why Brown is in our top rotation? No height, no hands can't block. We have got to have more than that if not shift a player from another position. We have a lot of DBs LBs, QBs, or RBs that should be able to help us on the field instead of sitting on the bench. Mike Malloy is an example. The schedule is not going to get any easier. I am fine if its Bailey and if not bring Dunne along because he is the future of this so called wide open offense.

ISU only had 57 yards in the second half. We had chances but did not make the big plays when needed. Ugly loss

Also Eliminated the stupid Defensive penalties

Re: Gored birds game week

Agree our WRs are not getting separation for AB.

But it definitely seems like when SK is in the game...there are more receivers finding holes in the defense and setting up easier throws. Not sure if it's the play calls for SK vs. AB or the timing or what.

I was a big Charles Brown fan coming into the season but he hasn't made plays for us. Time to give Rod Hall more snaps...or one of the other guys like the James boys or Braden Smith...the kid from the JC in ND.

Bieghler lost his job when he didn't deliver. OK...gotta be the same deal for everyone.

Charles brown should be nothing more than a slot WR when we go 3 or 4 wide. I don't understand why we put him on the outside and expect him to make plays against corners much bigger than him. Let Hall, Fountain, and maybe Cunningham take the outside WR reps. Enough throwing fades to 5'8 WR's.
