***Game 13 (Playoff Edition): San Diego @UNI***

[clenz]

Spread at William Hill was 14.5. They need to score again for our local bettors. Lol

Opened at 12.5

Suckers waited on that one

We covered the spread. And as we learned from basketball threads, that's all that matters

[Born-a-Panther]

How about firing Farley and keep the staff. He seems to be the one holding the offensive play calling back

Wrong...

.....

[clenz]

San Diego isn't your normal PFL program
they are going to be miles and miles and miles better than Monmouth 17

Closer to Lamar last year I'd bet

Also I called this in post 9. Not sure why anyone decided not to listen

Should have been a much larger MOV, but USD isn't a standard PFL team. There's a reason they have won something like 30 straight conference games and something like 43 of the last 45 in that conference. Youngstown State has more PFL losses the last 5 years than USD.

They were much smaller and much slower than UNI, and that was negated with the way the run calls were made.

I'm so tired of seeing RBs literally stop behind the LOS and just tap back and forth waiting for something. Hit the ****ing LOS like you have somewhere to be in a hurry. Run anyone that is in your way over. By stopping and dancing you give up all forward momentum

I have been told that Weston might be ok. He was walking just fine at the end of the game, icing his hip.

Wrong...

Really? Farley does get involved in the offense play calling, has been doing that for a long time. If he isn’t, why does UNI have a rotation of offensive coordinators, yet the offense and play calling remains similar or the same. I respect your knowledge and history on UNI football, but I can’t believe Farley leaves takes a hands off approach on the offense, especially in close games.

Did McShane play today? I don't recall seeing him, but missed parts of it in the second half.

I thought he got dinged up on a play in the second half. He went up to catch the ball and the dB pushed him out of bounds while he was still in the air and he landed weird. It looked like he was favoring his hand or something. But then again, maybe it wasn’t McShane, but I thought it was.

Pretty sure that was Lane

McShane? Lane?
McLane?

Postgame, Aaron Graham made an off-hand comment to Petey about Weston playing next week. Could've been talk, but hoping he let us have some insight. I don't recall Farley discussing either Weston's nor Kolvaric's injuries in the post game interview, but only heard part of it.

I was right along the sidelines for yesterday's game and didn't see him get involved in the playcalling one bit. That's not to say that he isn't involved in the week to week of it... but during the game yesterday, and in several other times in years past when I have been up close to it, he didn't do nearly as much as what is assumed.

[TravelingPanther]

I’ve had something that has been bothering me, watching a lot of football I’ve noticed that the teams that run the ball very well almost always have wife splits, we always have very narrow splits with allows the d line to squeeze together, seems to me to be a problem for us.

We have narrow splits because we can't block.

Didn't see it or didn't hear it? I've heard from current players on both sides of the ball that Farley is on the headset and involved in the offensive playcalling.

It's obviously secondhand, but I was sitting right behind you yesterday and he wasn't busy doing anything else when the offense was on the field.

i don't have any first hand knowledge but my guess would be that Coach Farley more is involved from a style of play standpoint. I don't think he's trying to call the game.

Defensively - that was a sound, complete performance.

Offensively we are what we have been all year. We move the ball in chunks and big plays not through sustained drives - the fumble on the 5 hurt a lot but those things happen in games. I hope we're willing to do some things at SDSU that we haven't done most of the year... less run plays... use more of a screen game to get our backs to the edge they are clearly better suited to play in space and we're a much better pass blocking line than a run blocking line at this point so that's what we're going to be.

Anybody see the video of the end of the Villanova vs SE LA playoff game last night.

Nova lost in a shootout and got jobbed on maybe the worst offensive PI call I've ever seen with a couple minutes left in the game.

WR made an incredible one handed catch on a long ball and the ref said he pushed off but video says otherwise. Ref with best view said TD and another guy came in and called it.

Catch the video. It's crazy. Their coach lost his mind after the game and it's hard to blame him.

This is more in line with what I was trying to say late last night. Thank you.
