Can our offense please figure out crossing patterns?? I've been asking this for years. If you are playing against a zone you just run your route into the empty area. If you are playing against man toast your guy off the line and you should be wide open the entire route. I know UNI's WR's are faster than ours, but they ran that perfectly yesterday and toasted us all day long. If our WR's are just as fast well let's go then on this.
Also I find it interesting how much UNI spread out our defense and how well they hit the angles that we could not defend. I don't know if that was being spread out too much or if we played poor assignment defense or if they were just schemed up well against us and completed their assignments very well. Glad this was early in the season so we can get it figured out as we go here.
I'm from Chicago. There was nothing by Stick on Saturday that even remotely reminded me of Walter Payton. In fact, I was not impressed with Stick in the first half. He seemed to get flustered by the rush and was missing some throws. His runs in the second half were really nice . . . but not Walter Payton nice!

1. Stick seemed to get better as the game went on. Good trait for a championship QB.
2. A few times, I was baffled at how well you guys got around the corners. That had to include some bad containment by us.
3. Truth hurts!
4. Seemed like it took a half for him to do so.
5. Indeed. I was loving the connection between QB and receivers. #4 is going to fun (for us) to watch for four years!
6. I thought we had a chance when we got up by 14. Our only hope was to get you out of your typical game plan. Alas, when you scored to keep it close, you were able to stick to your game plan and ultimately wear us down.

O line was huge
Bruce was the key...I know Stick got a lot of accolades for accounting for 6 TD, but I thought the constant pounding BA gave the UNI defense kept our d off the field so they could figure out their issues.
Western will be tough at home...need to hold onto the football, slippery grass or slippery turf...doesn't matter, need to make sure you hold on to the rock.
