You graduated most of your starters, which means most of your team has little college football game experience. You have a new head coach who is coaching players he didn't recruit. You have players playing for a coach who didn't recruit them. They are playing against players they have never seen before in stadiums in which they have never before set foot. Your coaches are coaching against coaches they have never coached against before. It should come as no surprise if anxiety and unfamiliarity cause lapses in judgement. It is game experience that will help improve on those. And it might take more than the first half of the first season to get that exerience under the belt.
Yes, the season sucks so far, but the sky isn't falling yet!

Yes, the season sucks so far, but the sky isn't falling yet! I agree with what you are saying somewhat WRJ, but it is not all true. Yes we know the coyotes graduated a lot of starters. That doesn't excuse 3 blocked punts in 2 weeks, it doesn't excuse the protection the QB is getting, and it shouldn't change the play calling or use of your go to players. Western Illinois connected on many longer pass plays. We however like to throw the bubble screens and very short routes. The other teams run some deep routes and trick plays, our deep plays are a 15 yard completion once a game. Tyler Starr should be living in the backfield, not dropping in pass coverage. Anyone know how many sacks he has so far? No one really knows because he's not in the backfield enough to even try to remember.

Iceman is right. The team doesn't need excuses. It still has a full allotment of scholarships. Meircourt new he was recruiting for the MVC and was building toward that. Based on all those excuses maybe we should just skip the games, throw in the towel and tell our opponents wait until next year when we have our own recruited players, when we know better who you are and we've seen what you can do. No..., they already have all that info, films and history. They know what they are up against and it would take a full 4 years to replace the roster with their own recruits. It doesn't take an ESPN talking head to see there are things we can be doing now to improve performance.

As I have said in 1 previous post, Coach Glenn is not a miracle worker. And to be quite honest with you, I am just as disappointed as the next Yote fan. Its going to take some time to get this thing up to speed. Patience is the key everyone. Programs like UNI and NDSU didn't just happen overnight, and its going to take some time, it may never happen. But the staff and the players deserve less criticism and more support. The student section is something none of us understand and there is no easy answer to that dilemma, but I know what will take care of that, and that is a winning program year after year. You can't force feed it to them. I heard an interview with A.D. Sayler the other day and he brought up the fact that the U has more female students than male students. That has to account for something. Even the best coach the U had didn't have the greatest start, Joe Salem. His first 6 years he was 5-5, 2-8, 9-1, 3-7, 4-4-2, and 3-7 before he shared 3 NCC crowns in a row. I imagine next year we will see a few more junior college guys come into our program, until Joe gets a couple of good recruitig classes. Heck Illinois St. had something like 18 division one transfers on their roster this year, and we still almost beat them. As long as we don't lose at home to a Division 3 team from Wisconsin we will be ok. And please don't bring up coach meirekort anymore , that ship has already sailed. All will be put to rest if we can take care of the bunnies on Nov. 17th. YOTES FOREVER GO YOTES!!!!!!!!!!!!
