I think if we played Navy or Buffalo in November, the outcome would be different.
Hmm.
Buffalo, yes.
Navy, I'm not sure. We still can't stop the run.

Maybe Wilder was just trying to save face because, for the first time in forever, we have coaches who can out-coach other people.Posted On: Oct 8th 2017, 10:51 AM #371746
This is becoming very apparent….I think if we played Navy or Buffalo in November, the outcome would be different. …CUSA should be on noticePosted On: Oct 8th 2017, 3:20 PM #371759
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
We still cannot throw a simple vertical pass.

Here is my take on the passing game vs ODU -Rick said
We had a couple decent passes last weekend, hopefully it continues…

We were just gashing them with the run. So much so they starting stacking the box. Even at that point with obvious 1-1 situations we were not able to execute.
It's going to be a real problem when we play teams like Marshall and La Tech. If they can contain our run game, we are going to be forced to pass effectively to win. Lets see…
I know this much - we wont continue to pickup 1st downs on 3rd and long with delayed runs. That cat is out of the bag and teams will be defending accordingly.
I also think Gray Owl makes a good point. Usually a bye week is seen as a good thing. However, we aren't used to being in the position we are in heading into a bye week. I understand we have a more capable coaching staff now - they better have these boys coming out ready to play vs UNT. We come out over confident and flat for the first half - will be a serious problem.

The good thing is that they are both passing teams, although they will probably try to run it more against us for obvious reasons.

And my take is that when we are running so well, the PLAY ACTION passing game SHOULD take off as well. BIG TIME ACTUALLY! I am sure THESE Coaches will spend a most of our O practice working on just that! And the D on a least SLOWING the run game, NT runs real well too!walty12 said

But their D gives up almost 35 points a game and they have only faced 1 Power5 team (a so so Iowa!).
