Utah Tech's only victory was against D2 Chadron State. Should be a winnable game but can't take anything for granted. At this point playing for pride and next year as the playoffs are no longer in the cards.

No one's okay with it.Originally posted by pnthr53 View PostI agree with you. It is so depressing. We are a dumpster fire and people seem to be ok with it. Ugh...."...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

Let’s start small - this would be it, and have huge benefits!Originally posted by clenz View PostI just hope we allow less than 50% on third/fourth downs this week
Last week after ISU went from 2nd and 20 to 3rd and 9, I was pissed because third down was now manageable distance. Yup, 3rd and 9 was manageable. My friend laughed at me when I said it, but I was right.

That third down conversion percentage was unreal. I don't know if I've ever seen a team have that kind of CONSISTENT success against a UNI defense. Ever.If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

It's because there's been a clear formula to beat the defense the whole year: Run the ball, mild hurry-up, run the ball again. It feels like opponents are running for eight yards a carry against us.Originally posted by UNIAlum95 View PostThat third down conversion percentage was unreal.

What if I told you outside of the Air Force game it is 3.63 ypc?Originally posted by sevelev711 View Post

including Air Force
243 carries
1243 yards
5.1 YPC
207.2 YPG
2 TD per game
Against FCS teams
181 carries
658 yards
3.63 YPC
131.6 YPG
1.1 TD per game
The issue is that 3.5-4 YPC feels like a **** ton when the other team is running 37 carries per game because they know they aren't going to get stopped behind the LOS. So any short yardage is an automatic conversion for the other team.

It doesn't matter how bad our front became. Just get the season over with, yesterday. Try playing a few more bench guys to cut teeth. Maybe, 6 wins can happen in 2023, but we're almost guaranteed an early loss in Ames that digs a hole. So, it's 5-6 in 2023 with no playoff.Last edited by BrockLesnar; 10-13-2022, 04:43 AM.
