The coaches have the correct formula

[KazLong]

Top 25 in TOP, 19th in run defense, top 25 total offense/first downs. 500 pass yards resulted in 28 USM points. 500 rush yards for Wisc resulted in 59 points. Bend don't break. Buckle up, we will be in every ball game this year.

Who has ever refered to bend dont break as a good thing?

Attack on defense.

Can all the MR guys realize we almost lost to a high school team today?

 

[Saunders]

We've played 2 decent teams (lost both) and 2 scrubs (1 blowout, 1 close). The sample size is small, but the trends need to change... quickly.

Absolutely. But there are positives. And I think giving up 500 yards passing 28 points vs 500 yards rushing 59 points is an improvement. If the games are a microcosm of what the season has in store for us, we will get better as the season goes on.

It's a new coaching staff, its early, I'm happy with where we are this early in "the process" and I can't wait to see what things look like in the coming weeks and years. Imagine a team of seniors who have been under this tutelage.

Be excited gentlemen, good things to come

We've gotten worse in pass defense, every single week. And thats with 2 teams who couldn't run the ball. A team like MSU, Wisconsin, or even Iowa will throw all over this D.

Nope.

We're dead last in passing D, and 108th in yards per play (as of last week). That may work against scrubs, but even on the crappy B1G West, that's a recipe for 3-4 losses.

Yep. Dead last in either category is a recipe for disaster against teams with a pulse. Our run D has yet to be tested. Why run against us when your QB can have a record setting outing against us. Not to mention we will probably spot you another 100 yards in stupid penalties.......

BYU and Miami both have strong pulses my man. Neither of those games I would describe as a disaster.

southern miss actually is a college program. FBS level even.

Anyone that keeps getting lit up for four bills through the air by, oh, uh, everyone on the schedule so far

I dont put any qb in the West in the same tier as 3 that weve already played. Just my opinion after watching multiple games. Connor Cook will light us up. Assuming no adjustment or improvement.

Lunt is better than all but Kaaya. Beathard at Iowa, and Purdue's frosh QB can chuck the rock too.

Miami, we don't really know what they are yet. BYU lost 31-0 to a team that was 5-7 last year.

I never said they won't throw all over us. But how many points will they put up?

Harbaugh is giving you a funny look.

 

[Saunders]

Objectively, we've improved drastically at Run D (because of scheme), and QB (coaching). We've regressed, dramatically at run offense, pass D, and penalties.

If we're going to use this "formula" to win games, we'll need to run the ball better and control the clock and TOP.

Teams with better players will score more.

The logic of the post is good except that it assumes that the Big Ten passers will NOT be as good as Southern Miss today because if we give up 400 plus yards passing and several TDs to ANY of our Big Ten opponents, we will NOT win. They won't let us throw for 400 and run for 200 more. We don't want to play 'barn burners' every week and those are not likely as the Big Ten doesn't have those kinds of games often (like in Pac 12 and Big 12). Big Ten will be 10 pts or more per team lower typically in the high score games. We will have to score 40 or more to win Big Ten games if we give up massive yards in passing. The problem is that the Big Ten teams that pass for 350 yards against us WILL also run for 175 and couple TDs. They won't abandon running game - just use it to slice and dice on key plays. They will also have bigger stronger O lines than SoMiss and SoBama and likely as good or better than BYU (ala Michigan for example).

Going to be tough in the Big Ten if we can't cut the opponents to less than 275 passing and 135 rushing while we get 350 and 225. We also MUST win special teams and so far those have not been nearly as good as required to win in Big Ten.

ive watched em pretty considerably. Yeah. Lunts pretty good. But what they have sround him. Its just my opinion. Weve played the best 3 qbs on our schedule aside from the onvious best connor cook.
