Can't believe I'm agreeing with you.

Amen to that. Such a ridiculously overused cliche of an offensive attack. So sick of watching that same backfield action...

Now if we want to put Luepke under center and run the veer, I'm all in. :)
It's a product or college football no longer having QBs who operate under center. Is it a coincidence that NDSU has been sending QBs to the league? Apparently we have given up on putting a QB under center too

This ....
Simply put the JAcks wanted this game more, and our players and coaches were not ready, sad in a big rivalry game

Another question I have is whether coaches are telling RBs not to bounce outside when planned gap is full. I just don’t get it. You see other teams do it all the time—with success. Hell, most linger runs in the NFL result from RB making a move or bounce to the outside. It’s both mind-boggling and maddening for me.

This has drove me nuts forever....for once a little hesitation and vision would be nice but nope...slam into the designed hole even though everyone in the stadium(except the people that should) knows the d is trying to stop it.
Remember that rb from Coastal Carolina? He was good at it.

Some backs just don't have that vision. Luepke does a bit. If you don't have it usually your best overall to run north and south. Because if you try to bounce outside without knowing who might be waiting there for you to do that you'll probably get labeled as a dancer.

Luepke has it, along with an innate sense to just feel/see the soft spots that allow him 2-3-4 or more yards.
I question whether our coaches see that he has that despite all of us seeing it.
He (Luepke) gets a feel for the game and D, and that’s why he should get more “fucking touches” as is the new feel good coaching language—>Barf!

The thing is you dont have to have great vision. If the hole isnt there go someplace else. Bounce GTFO:D

I would be more than happy to see Williams and Leupke be our bell cows the rest of the way. Maybe Gonnella too. That would be a hell of a Delta formation.
