If the coaching staff wants style points for the selection committee, Bison 45-9. Otherwise, Bison kind-hearted staff 27-9.

I doubt impressing the committee is anywhere near the top of what the coaching staff wants to get done today. Although if they accomplish what they hope to that should be an ancillary benefit. 38-10 Bison.

I for one hope it's on their mind. Zero chance we leap frog JSU and/or EWU without 2 blowout wins. Simply getting a 2-3 score lead and running out the clock the entire 2nd half, which I can see us doing, will impress no one.

It'll impress me, if they do it right with sustained drives on offense, not a super bendy but not breaking defense. I wanna win TOP again. Losing TOP sucks.

King Frazier is in for today. Not sure if it has been posted yet.

I agree. Team needs to continue improving on executing each play and get the passing game in rhythm.

I'm actually ok with the passing game right now as long as the running game continues to produce. Listening to some interviews with coaches, Stick is making the right reads, he just isn't executing correctly. It will come. I, for one, didn't expect him to get through his entire career without going through a slump. Plus, it'll lead to teams thinking we're inefficient in the passing game going into the playoffs, which provides the team with better passing opportunities against teams that don't normally see us and have only a week to prepare. Not pressing for the passing game to be there and just letting happen might be the best thing for the confidence for everyone involved. Sometimes a break from something is the best medicine.

Over/under on Bisonvillers complaining about the quiet crowd and empty seats (deer hunting, students 3 day weekend, people not caring about a crap opponent)?

I agree that Stick is making the right reads, but for some reason, he seems to second guess himself for about a second. That's why I hope he relies on his instincts (which are good) and pulls the trigger.

Had he thrown the pass that got picked off in front of Shepherd just a split second sooner, there's a decent chance Darrius scores. I don't know what or when the hesitation started, but if you compare the roll-out passes to the TE/FB the past month to the first offensive play of the Iowa game, you can see the difference.

I believe if he gets into rhythm, the offense will be lights out with a strong passing and running game, and of course, that makes the defense better too with getting proper rest.

For the record, I'm not here to complain about Stick. I believe he's extremely talented and might be putting too much pressure on himself, which might be why he looks like he's playing too tight. He just needs to remember that he's surrounded by other highly talented dudes who he can rely on.
