I'm going to try and keep updated from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Will be hiking this morning...44 degrees and windy...hope we stay dry! Post up often and Go Ags!
Agreed. Watched the EWU-ND game. EWU gashed UND with their rushing game in first half. That was tightened up in the second half. EWU got gashed a bit too especially in second half, but not a big surprise as their D has been quite suspect this year. Passing game was limited on both sides due to strong wind.
Also we have had no rhythm on offense. How many 3rd and long have we faced this year. I think our defense is great but our offense keeps our D on the field. Tough.
Pluto TV stream not working...again. This is getting old. I second whoever was commenting earlier in the week about how pathetic it is that we can't get a reliable stream or viewing service for a D1 team.
If we expect to go into every game with a tossup in terms of athleticism and/or a speed/size disadvantage -- which we have to assume we will -- then the focus should be on execution. And yet literally that seems to be the lowest on the priority list (I'm also including the poor tackling from the Montana game, not just penalties).
I said two seasons ago that I was concerned that Hawkins really focused on the low-hanging fruit when rebuilding the program by switching to the spread and getting a good QB. A TON of the problems that plagued the Gould years are still there and this year we don't have the offensive firepower to overcome it.
Great as I was writing this we just had an RB avoid like 7 of our guys for like 25 yards
