This seems like the first year ever that I have not heard any complaints about our OL. What changed? I know we have a new coach, can he really be making that much of a difference? The depth chart doesn't seem much different than past years, only 1 senior and 1 junior on the two deep.

The Indiana State QB, who appears to be their 4th different QB on the year, seems very prone to throwing interceptions. He has played all of their 3 MVFC games and thrown 5 picks. 2 each to ISUr and UNI, 1 to Murray. I bet he can throw some against USD too given that we can pressure the QB effectively.

Cade Chambers, the current Sycamore QB was last year's conference freshman of the year. He was out with an injury for the first part of this year.

The depth chart doesn't seem much different than past years, only 1 senior and 1 junior on the two deep. Scheme, coaching, another year of maturity, all seems to have made a huge difference. When I was at the U we went through 3 OL coaches during my time. IMO, hearing things from a new perspective can really change the mindset of a position group, even if the stuff a new coach is teaching isn't really that different from before. Whatever the reason our OL has gone from a liability to a strength in a short 6 months.

The new OL coach has brought a completely different philosophy to this current OL. Pretty much the same dudes, but different mentality! The aggressiveness and physicality of the unit is drastically different and they are getting into and moving people off the ball compared to the old OL coach who taught them to just get in the way. Also, a lot more gap scheme plays this year, so it's easier to get off the ball and move people with double teams. We better figure out how to hold on to the OL and OC coaches for a few years, because they have rejuvenated this offense tremendously.
Also, the Indiana State defensive front and LBs will be an extrememly difficult task because of a lot of movement and blitzing. Lots of moving parts to sort out in the run game and pass protection.

Any update on injuries?
Theis? Thomas? Mansaray? Martens?

This game and the WIU game have been picked up by KELO on one of their sub channels.

I have it on good authority, very reliable sources, that there is a game in a few hours. Big if true. Go Yotes!

We don't really look ready to play today. Poor start on both sides but still 0s. Pushed around on d and 3 and out on o. Hopefully we wake up and make something happen.

Two weeks in a row we have a kickoff out of bounds. What?

We are just sleep walking through this game. Look totally disinterested. No fire on either side of the ball. Dare I say we were looking past this team? We're not good enough to do that. A loss today would really put a damper on playoff hopes. 3-3 with 5 min left in the half.
Lot of game left but we better pull our head out of our @ss.
