Re: YSU Post Game Thoughts & Discussion
Game seemed like an alternate reality. Energy level seemed like it was a rerun of a MAC game playing to not finish last in the conference. I expect hype for Zeb and lack of football created expectations not in line with the actual reality. Lots of talent, just need a reset next week.
Re: YSU Post Game Thoughts & Discussion
Someone must have texted Entz about the maternity shirt look. He changed to all green at halftime.
More serious note, the D looked decent but the entire O looked listless. There wasn't much excitement or apparent energy visible. Hopefully, the rust has mostly worked off this week and the excitement returns this coming week.

3) Jury still out on Zeb. 50% completion rate and the ball was never where it should have been on the key downs. I posted on the GDT that Lance's absence was apparent on those stalled-out drives. In a lot of those situations Lance would have just put the team on his back and made something happen. It's going to be a rough adjustment without that. And that's no knock on Zeb (or anyone else in the QB room). It's just impossible to replace that wildcard. If we're going to repeat Zeb has to be DRASTICALLY better than he was today.
4) I love the pitch between the tackles. Let's our backs use their speed advantage to make one fast read and a cut.
5) I'm sick, absolutely fucking sick, for Seth Wilson. Bussey/Kobe are going to form a sort of Lightning & Lightning combo that is exciting. Who is going to be the bruising back? Does Hunter (arguably the most athletic big guy on the team) get some snaps at tailback? Wish Saybein was still here.
6) Thet jet sweep is going to be done to death this year. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad.
7) KVLY is trash. Timmerman is stupid.
8) I'm glad football is back but the whole spring season and half empty dome is so 2020. Just weird.
We’re really doin’ it, aren’t we though, buddy?!
Man... a postgame thread is good for my soul...
I feel like Zeb forced it a lot... not a ton of open receivers missed.
Goddamnit Seth. I hope you read things similar to this from your fans, but let me just say it. We are sick for you and we are pulling for you.
Holy Shit that D was fucking fantastic. I couldn’t have imagined a better game. Seriously so many underclassmen with standout plays. If we win a chipper this year, it’ll be on their backs.
Special teams was fantastic today. No liabilities at all. Love that.
Fix the O. Bring on numero 9.
Re: YSU Post Game Thoughts & Discussion
I was amazed when Seth Wilson got up from the play. I was hopeful he was OK.
Man, I hope it's not bad because a) he's worked his ass off to get back on the field and b) he is one of the best backs I've seen at NDSU - he's the total package.
Re: YSU Post Game Thoughts & Discussion
How much can you really learn about your defense when the other team volunteers to play one dimensional offense?

In any case this is game one. Kids are just cutting their teeth, it will be interesting to see next week.
Deep balls were off today, but he had good zip on sideline throws.

No ints ,we ran over 200 yards. Didn't expect big numbers with running game we had.

I'd disagree with the bolded. Might've just been from my vantage point at the dome halfway up section 9 it's easy to see the entire field compared to down on the field but I didn't think he was seeing the field and was missing open guys in favor of throwing into tight(er) coverage.
It'll be a good learning experience for him... the film and the experience should help him get better.
