This is the type of game you have to control via running the ball and throwing to TEs and we cant do either if those things.
Our only hope is to kill them with takeaways.UNI FIGHT

I agree. Our offense sucks. The only redeeming quality is Weston and he is hurt.

Anybody else listening to Farley interviews the last couple weeks miss the old Farley?
I'm talking about the confident, 'bring on all comers...we're UNI football and we don't back down to anybody" Farley?
Now it's this **** about "low octane" offense and "I don't have the personnel" and "we had to play on Thanksgiving week and didn't get a break".
I totally get all that's true.
But goddammit man...you've got to lead the way here. You've gotta make everyone around u believe you can win. You've gotta step up and say "it's now or never" and we're going in there with all guns blazing and let the chips fall.
This is college football...emotion matters. The kids gotta believe that you believe.
Winning is more fun than losing.

I hope he tells them they're 10 feet tall and bullet proof.
Saturday's game is going to come down to who has the least numbers of turnovers or dumb plays. Play clean, smart and inspired we get a victory. Play scared, dumb, or uninspired we lose.

I would think it has more to do with the 5 lineman.

TE depth definitely effects the run game substantially. (the five other lineman obviously do as well) But having a TE like Briley or Bohr to a lesser degree, who is a beast of a run blocker and a match up problem in the pass game really alters what you can do offensively because you can leverage matchups, create mismatches and punish a defense based on how they match up. Those guys win battles in space against most LB's as they are more athletic and against corners due to size and understanding how to position themselves.
If you're subbing a tackle who happens to be wearing a jersey numbered in the 80's (see Vanderslice and Lueck) for Jayden Scott or Alex Allen...you pretty well know the intent of the play. I'm really struggling to think of the last time we've even targeted the TE in the passing game.
Having elite an Elite TE can make your offensive dynamic.
This is precisely the reason the Patriots offense in the NFL is a lot more pedestrian this year. no gronk...less mis-matches to be exploited.
