2. This might have been the worst o line performance I've seen in the last decade. SIU d line controlled the LoS and NDSU o-line had no answers. SIU dominated the trenches vs NDSU...chew on that for a minute...
3. Playcalling was bad. Zeb isn't going to light the world on fire, but even he can be more successful when he isn't facing 3rd and 8 or 9 after two consecutive runs up the middle with no opening. Also, why not involve our TEs more? On D, why not throw in some press to disrupt the timing as the CBs were getting roasted all day.
4. Christian Watson is a complete non factor and has been bad since the UCA game. Fix him and get him involved.
5. Secondary was bad all day long. Big cushions, poor tackling, and lack of playmaking.
6. D line was ordinary, at best, all day. Ditto for the LBs, but with the added caveat that our lack of size at LB is going to result in us getting pushed around like today more often.
7. Kickoff return game was terrible.
8. This team isn't a contender. Maybe they can sneak into the playoffs, but that sure seems unlikely.
9. This coaching staff needs to look in the mirror and realize they are doing a shitty job thus far this year. Getting outschemed happens from time to time, but the effort wasn't there today and the playcalling has been bad this year.
10. God I hope Patterson or Payton are ready in the fall.
Good points. Are they counting this spring experiment as a year of eligilbity or is this a freebie? Even if Zeb is back I think we go with Payton.
Especially if we're rebuilding.
