SDSU Post Game Thoughts & Discussion

[GRAFTONBISON]

I can't imagine the folks in Brookings are too happy tonight. Hopefully, though, not as seriously ticked off as they were 29 years ago:

big play in the game was before the NDSU INT, SDSU goes from 3rd and 4 to a 3rd and 9 passing down after a false start. thanks buddy

I don’t know. Wasn’t it tied? And they were still in FG range, yes? I assume they had the wind in the 4th as we got to ball to start the half. In any case should be 4 down territory anyway, no? Doesn’t seem to me Stig had to throw it there.

define field goal range...i think they were between the 25-30, and Vinaterie sounds like hes had some accuracy issues this year vs what we're used to. went from about a 35 yard field goal to a 40+. they were probably running on 3rd and 4, could've gotten a first and

they were on the 31 after the pen. So it would have been 40 at least. assuming no gain on 3rd down 43, then 48 after the infraction. If that’s to far they had 4th down to run another play. They weren’t forced to pass there, or shouldn’t have felt they were anyway.

The kids mistake cost them 5 yards but it didn’t cost them possession, if you’re going to assign blame for that it goes to the coaches assuming they fell into this forced to pass line of reasoning.

Up 11 or up 12 at that point in the game... that’s the question. You need a data/brain guy to tell you what is the best stat to do.

With a backup QB, it was obvious they were going to struggle to score TDs. That would meant they needed a TD and 2 field goals to win. With a backup, the odds of making a 2 point conversion was slim too. That would have also put them in a hurry up mode with a rookie QB. They were scared of our pass rush and that's why they ran 60 times

GameDay crew stick around to watch the game?

nope the leer jet was in the air over our tailgate lot, 20 minutes after show end!

Maybe I should ask lakes since he's the clock management expert, but did anyone else think it was weird that the rabbits tried a desperate trick play deep in their own territory on a 4th and life to go when they had 2 time outs? A punt and trust the hot defense seemed a better option.

that surprised me too, stig had to know that NDSU would be vanilla and run 3 times. good catch dude!

Kick the extra point. This swinging gate crap is high school nonsense.

3 of 5 now or 1.2 expected points per attempt. v. 0.97 something kicking (33 of 34). And I don’t recall an attempted PAT2 in a circumstance where it was obviously wrong, though I haven’t analyzed them all. Seems like both the decision making and the execution have been good. Can’t complain.
