OMG. Klieman needs to rip the headset from Polesack, fire him, and tell him to find his own way back to Fargo. I've seen some real incompetence from him before, but that second half was inconceivably bad.
Wyoming beats #13 Boise State! Bohl knew how to put teams away. This team does not!
UNI is not that good. Average MV team this year. I'm comfortable with our young defense this far in the season. They are getting better. Offense on the other hand......not so much. They execute ok but I just don't understand what they are trying to do anymore. We completely underuse Easton's running ability. No bootlegs? He could of had a field day the way their d ends were crashing. He also needs to be told to RUN on broken passing plays. Our online needs to be taking.back in the woodshed and light some fire under their big bellies.
"The bird is in your hand"
I have been screaming for this for 1.5 years. Pick two running backs and let them get into a rhythm. Unfortunately NDSU has the biggest fucking moron known to coach offensive football at the helm. He is a HORRIBLE play caller. He needs to go. Every god dam game he comes in with zero imagination and ignores situational play calling when he does not need an imagination. Hope to God Klieman can find the balls to take control of this team.
Polasek and Stick need to get their shit together. That is all.
For almost three quarters we played some of our best football of the year. I was feeling pretty comfortable....Then we pissed down our leg.
1. Bingo - we can't keep our offense on the field any more in the second half - Polasek play calling is so predictable my grandmother could guess what the Bison are going to do, my God this is getting old fast!!!
2. Agree=- UNI is not the team of the past and we should have put the hammer down in the 3qtr on them, but noooo we just let them get back in the game....
3. AGREED! 3 Games in a row 14 point lead in the second half and we look pathetic, like we don't know how to go for the jugular any more???? How about throwing some deep balls to RJ and maybe get an interference call 1 out of 2 times?
4. Penalties, yes, better but still hurting us.
5. Late plays getting in, quick thinking so damn much Polasek, let Stick roll out and run or throw!
6. Bingo!
7.3rd downs conversions a lost thing at NDSU over the past 3 weeks? Play calling to damn predictable, guess what we are going to do, run again! Finally let Stick run a damn bootleg and it gave us 5 yards, could have done that 3 or 4 times over tonight, plus a tightend out in the flat.
8. Agreed - no TE's out in the middle or any where in our 3rd down MUST HAVE options?????? Brock Jensen and CW lived by this, it was almost unstoppable.
9. I hate FARLEY too!
10. 3 Games with 14 point leads and we SUCK in the second half on offense!!!! Oh we did win the game but THANK GOD our defense has some BALLS and WILL to shut teams down!! Great job defense, but poor tackling on many plays, but some big hits too!
Our offense needs to start mixing up the plays like we use to, and quit being so DAMN PREDICTABLE ON 3rd downs and do the unexpected sometimes and quit with the power run on 3rd and short!!!
Special teams - I like our new guy taking the returns, he'll improve should some burst even with mistake in 4th qtr. However when kicking to the opposing team and they run one kick back to the 40 then another to 50, how about we quit kicking it to him and knuckle ball it down the field instead???? Does this take a salary of $60,000 to be a special teams coach? I can figure that out!!!
Nice Job Defense, Stick needs to get his timing and accuracy cleaned up, but better when he's on the move.
UURRRGH, come on Bison lets get this figured out with 3 weeks left......
Be Herd,
