GDT: NDSU vs SDSU

[CAS4127]

I can't get my arms around Williams going off the week before and only getting 1 carry Saturday. We have a formidable 1-2 punch with Luepke and Williams and don't seem to have any interest in developing it. Someone help me understand this.

I agree completely. Williams should be getting ball 10 times or more.

Also, and maybe we have a youn one or two on our roster, but we need more dynamic RBs. SDSU has 3 that played.

A number of us were mumbling this all game long why he wasn't getting some chances. He came in for numerous plays all of which were play action plays. It showed last week he is healthy and looked really good and I think we was the fourth one in behind Gonella and TK. Seems really weird. Maybe he questioned Roehls play calling in the second half of the Arizona game.

Couldn’t agree more. Will also add we need more dynamic LBs as well. I don’t see them currently. Also. Maybe it’s time to bench Weber and play #10. He had several missed tackles Saturday and it has been an issue all year.

So only “good enough” players get latitude. Got it.

Not from a rules standpoint. But you can at least understand people being kind of full of themselves or selfish when they’re exceptional. No offense to Miller, but that’s not the case here. He's got talent for sure. But he's not a superstar. At least not yet. Perhaps he can get there by the end his senior year if he knocks out this crap and focuses on the next play being as good or better than the last. I sense this team believes that all the previous years' press clippings apply to them. What's needed is less celebration and more execution. More focus. More fundamentals. Passing, check downs, tackling, special teams, etc. They're losing to very beatable teams. I'm guessing the coaches are telling them that. I hope so.

I am not sure when we became a shot gun team....We need to get back under center so we can run play action.

1 shot gun
2 under center
3 shot gun
4 Shot gun
5 Under center
6 under center

Here is one good picture of why we couldn't run the ball effectively.

All 11 SDSU defenders within 7 yards of the ball on a 1st and 10 in 3rd quarter with 3 minutes to go.
