10/31 S. Dakota @ UNI

Re: 10/31 S. Dakota @ UNI

Kollmorgan - 38/78 with 4 INT's and 2 TD's
Bailey - 55/107 with 5 INT's and 5 TD's

If the runner has better passing stats than the passer then something is wrong with the passing offense in general and thus you need the runner to make plays.

not exactly a fair comparison, given how in most of the situations this season where Kollmorgan came in, it was late in the game with the team down by a fair amount when defenses could gear up against the pass because it was obvious passing situations and the run game hadn't been much of a threat all game anyway.

though I agree that something is wrong with the passing offense in general.

Re: 10/31 S. Dakota @ UNI

eh, I don't put too much stock into the FBS transfer thing. Sure, sometimes a transfer will come in and make a big impact. But sometimes they don't. I'd say the likelihood of a transfer in general is about the same as that of a player recruited out of high school or juco to make a big impact. So I don't consider that "pedigree" to be that big of a determining factor. Probably more determinality in who their parents are.

Fair enough.

Can't believe that post about the sideline behavior...how bush league.

Re: 10/31 S. Dakota @ UNI

Bailey is lightyears better as a runner and passer than Carnes. Not even close.

Have to agree.

AB throws a much better ball than BC...who threw every ball like it was coming out of a JUGS machine.

Re: 10/31 S. Dakota @ UNI

...The pass interference calls against us...one defensive and one on Fountain on that big play...were very questionable. The quick whistle on that fumble in the middle of the field shoulda been 6 for the D. Officials kept that game closer than it shoulda been.

On the TV replay the push off by Fountain looked pretty clear.

Agreed that the fumble recovery TD called back was a pretty quick whistle. Would have really sucked had that costed us the game.

Re: 10/31 S. Dakota @ UNI

i thought the OPI on Fountain was a 50/50 call as both players were fighting for the ball. I haven't watched the espn 3 replay but i'm guessing he probably gained the separation needed to make the play.

Dead on about Carnes...no touch ever. everything came out on a line at one velocity with low accuracy. I seem to be in the minority on this board but i think Bailey throws a nice ball and if you give him higher percentage throws like they did yesterday he'll make the throws. Now if we can get 1 or 2 deep balls a game things would be almost perfect.

The ISUb game will be huge...hope there's a big, loud crowd at the dome.

On the note of the USD players...my wife commented they must be better cheerleaders and dancers than football players. Our seats are in the front row but on the home sideline. I commented that it's good we don't sit there by the visiting team because i couldn't not talk to them all game.

Re: 10/31 S. Dakota @ UNI

I was sitting a few rows up from Fountain's pushoff, and once the flag was thrown, I figured it was against him. Was disappointed with the quick whistle on the potential fumble return by UNI.

I thought the SD players were entertaining to watch on the sidelines. I didn't have a problem with them banging on the signs, shows their enthusiasm. Nothing wrong with going on the road and trying to make the stadium your own. They were cheering and showed a lot of camaraderie, especially starting the 4th quarter. Not saying UNI doesn't have the same, but don't see it a lot during games as a large group.

UNI's run defense looked solid again, but something has to be done about the pass coverage. Again, UNI gives up third-and-long with soft coverage, and the SD QB missed a few open WRs, especially on Hall's INT.

Wondering now the SK is out, is it going to be Bailey the rest of the way? Was curious to see if Dunne or Black was going to get to run a few plays since Farley has been running a two-QB system for a while.

Re: 10/31 S. Dakota @ UNI

With the regard to the 2 QB system, I think that if AB doesn't fumble away the ball down in the redzone, and a TD happens, there may have been enough cushion for Farley to allow a backup QB in for snaps. Farley has stated on the radio that Dunne is the backup currently.

Re: 10/31 S. Dakota @ UNI

As for the OPI on Fountain, the tv replay clearly showed Fountain extending his arms fully to create separation on the DB. The ref was in the background of the TV shot, with a clear view.

Good call on the OPI. I don't like it, and often it goes uncalled, but it was a good call.

The offense looked good for a couple drives yesterday when tempo was used. Tempo doesn't have to be a play every fifteen seconds, but the play got a bit quicker, not as many sideline checks, and a quicker hitting play call style. Before that it was the same old crap, and after those series it was almost the same old crap.

Bailey looked pretty good yesterday. Doesn't have the touch for a long ball, or vision to read a full 3+ plus man route tree. However, when he is put in a position to make a quick read, or two, then pull it down he does well. Couple that with tempo and you have, shockingly, the Davis offense we were promised. More or less

As good as the offense looked, by UNI standards, it's still significantly behind the rest of the league outside of MSU in terms of yardage and point production. The Valley site is down but I'd guess the average production is about 400 yards and 30 points. UNI is about 340 yards and 20 points. Let's put it this way, UNI has a negative scoring margin this year but given up the 4th fewest points in the conference. We've scored six less points than USD and MSU just doesn't count

That is true so its not apples to apples, but dont you have to assume that with Kollmorgan its a pass play? Are the RB's threats in more conventional sets? I havent seen that they are. So it may be more apples to apples than not.

NDSU assumed that SK was in to pass, and UNI was able to take advantage of that for some long QB runs. Which produced yards, but obviously cost us a QB (probably wasn't the wisest of strategies given NDSU's tendancy towards "physical play" against QBs, and SK's tendancy towards concussions.

Of course, maybe Farley knew that would be the case the whole time, which is why he allowed SK to get the start, so that he was the one to get banged up and not Farley's golden calf. (I'd really like to believe that isn't how Farley thinks, but I figured I'd play devil's advocate there)

That's a pretty awful thing to suggest even playing devil's advocate.
