Give how much you hate Jacobsen, are you going to start calling for Farley's job?

Nice to see that irony isn't lost on you, eh, my friend?

[A Fan In Lean Years]

THERE was some red zone defense, eh, folks!?

[A Fan In Lean Years]

Masterful, orchestrated plan by our sidelines, eh, folks!?

[A Fan In Lean Years]

We're outfoxing them on the sidelines right now.

One of two things. It's rigged, and/or we're playin' possum and we'll get them on the back side.

Agree to a certain extent on the O line Running the ball,, at times there were holes RB’s slow to hit them,, but you can’t conflate Run blocking and Pass blocking, two totally different , same thing with a Defense,, Run D and Pass rush D can be totally different,,, look at the tape, our QB had enough time on enough plays with enough of a pocket,, he vacated it too quickly, his initial move a lot of the time is to start back peddling , taking himself out of any pocket,, commentators even said, he has tendency to take off to quickly

Will took off and ran 7 of those 25 times

And the drawback with Will taking himself out of the pocket or scrambling backwards is it appears it doesn’t take much effort to knock him down for a huge loss. A shoulder shove here, a swipe at his leg there and he’s down. When the SDSU kid took off, he looked difficult to bring down at times. Although I wish the defense would actually wrap up the guy instead of trying to tackle by trying to strip the ball away from him.

Good news is that when the team gets on a roll, like they did last year, all of the nattering naybags of negativity will suddenly go away and wallow in their own sorrow at another successful UNI football season!

Success over almost a 20 year period is something you obviously define differently than me. I guess a national title is too much to ask for.

Who's to say that we WON'T win a national title this year, O Seer Over the Crystal Ball?

Outside of wrestling, and based on your "logic," you must loathe ALL UNI sports and teams, as none have won a national title that I'm aware of (I could be wrong on that though).

I really like the quote from former VP Spiro Agnew. I had almost forgot this quote.

Ha, Ha! I know I butchered it, but it was close.

Agnew said "nattering nabobs of negativism."

Maybe today somebody will tell us how not calling a timeout was good coaching. We have already read how the OLine wasn’t bad. Ignoring the god awful rushing stats and the QB running for his life instantly most of the time.

lol, again a defense can have a great run defense, and yet at the same time be average on pass rush,, same with an O line, they could be bad at run blocking , but better at Pass Blocking. You are right about Will instantly running for his life,, but we must have watched a different game,, for example if you instantly run out of a pocket when you do not need to , then there is no longer a pocket and you get chased. He had guys middle of field open throughout the game, he just needed to make a step up and deliver,, plenty of time ,, when he instantly runs out, even when the pocket doesn’t collapse, it’s hard on receivers to break routes and find a spot

Everyone is right on this offensive line and quarterback situation. The o-line was not good on Friday night. There weren't holes in the running game, and they allowed too much pressure. Both things happened. However, Will's first instinct is always to scramble to one side of the field. He is 5'10"ish and every one of his linemen are 6'6" to 6'7". He needs as clean a pocket as possible in order to stay in and step up. These issues are not mutually exclusive.
