Re: 2014: Game 4 - SBU @ North Dakota 9/20 7pm

Lets talk facts. Keep in mind that all of these are "padded" by
a game against American International (who needed a 30yd TD with
1 minute left to beat Assumption College). Out of the 121 FCS
Teams...
Luke Allen is 4th in punting yardage
Luke Allen is 2nd in # of punts
We are 119th in 3rd down conversion % (11 converted out of 57
attempts)
We are 118th in Completion % (34 out of 78 attempts)
We are 111th in Penalty Yards (344 yards)
We are 108th in Scoring Offense (11.5 ppg)
Fun fact, 26 players in the FCS (individually) average more
yards per game than our entire team does.
The offense is the same one we ran two years ago. But at that
time we had an O-Line with an NFL prospect, an NFL prospect RB,
a speedster WR, a team that played together for 3-4 years, and
were playing against the Big South.
It's really painful to watch. When we know the play calls
before they're run, then i'm pretty sure our opponents know too.
We've stopped using the pistol formation, refuse to throw to
Wagner (or any 3rd WR), and don't throw passes to RB's.
Kinder was a nice experiment, but I have to question how we
missed this bad? He doesn't keep his eyes up when he scrambles,
has very poor accuracy while he's on the run, he makes bad
decisions (redzone int, doesn't throw the ball away, tries to
fit it into triple coverage, etc), and he has terrible deep ball
accuracy. These things have to be obvious in practice. If he
doesn't have those problems in practice, then he can't handle
playing in front of a crowd (in High School he didn't have the
crowd problem, scoring 4 TD's in the LI final at Lavalle).
Priore did a wonderful job getting us to this point, but if you
can't adapt to your personnel (or to your environment), then
this type of season will happen. If things continue in this
direction, we could get into a situation that could take
multiple years to fix.
And to make sure I understand the game-script that Priore wants
to use...
Run the ball and play the "field position game". Yes, on third
and 7+, you run anyway, yielding a hideous 3rd conversion %, but
thats part of the plan...
This lets us gain 255 yards per game on offense.
Use Tye to return punts, making sure that every punt turns into
a fair catch, meaning that we get no special teams yards.
Get at least one penalty a drive (90+ penalty yards a game),
just to make sure we lose more yards than we gain.
Repeat.
All of that being said, 1-11 is a real possibility. We could
sneak by Elon. Hopefully URI gets the schedule date wrong and
forgets to show up. That pretty much covers the two games we
COULD win.

Well... I don't think either fanbase was impressed with what
happened on Saturday, but I'm happy UND was able to pull off the
win. It seems both teams are going through a rebuild right now
(UND fired the previous head coach in November last season) and
are really struggling with OLine play and to an even greater
extent QB play. Unfortunately both teams are trying to be run
first and you guys lost your starting RB and we lost our
starting and back-up RBs to injury, leading UND to convert a LB
who hadn't carried the ball since high school. Hopefully the
younger players progress as the season goes on for both teams,
or it could be a very long season. Good luck the rest of the
way.

If those teams are so weak then how did Albany break the top 25
list???

Because the people who vote for it aren't coaches. It's media,
SIDs, conference people. If Albany was so great, the coaches
would have give them more than five votes in the coaches poll

Keep in mind that we're also really early in the season, so a
lot of voters don't pay too much attention to the polls.
If you are 3-0 in the CAA, you'll get a lot of attention.

I get it guy. I just put that out there cuz I'm a bit Jelly of
them! I wish we had a number next to our name. Always feels
good. LOL
at the end of the day UA has played a very weak schedule so I
guess its not big deal but its nice improvement for them. At
least they finally got their first CAA win
