Anybody know anything about SHS? I know JB is a very good QB but that’s all I know. I watched a replay of the SHSU vs Houston Baptist game (last regular season game of the year) on ESPN3 last night late. HBU is a bad team that finished 1-10 so it may not be a good gauge, but here are my take-aways: Elite QB (passing). He is very accurate and poised. 6'3'' 225 and not exceptionally mobile but slides well in pocket. He will hit open receivers and has tremendous range - not afraid to throw it deep. WR crew is deep and talented. They have an all-star type receiver that is built like our Shamar Jackson - perhaps a little bit bigger. He broke their career touchdown receiving record in that game and has some great hands. He looks like the QB's favorite target. There are several talented receivers however. Their RBs looked small but have great burst. The looked more shifty rather than elite speed. The accuracy of the QB and the strong WR group will be a major challenge for our pass defense. Will need to get to the QB and cause pressure. If not, it will be hard to keep these WRs covered consistently. On defense, USD will be facing another athletic front. I would put them a notch below what I saw from Nicholls. They are fast and aggressive. They showed multiple fronts against HBU. Sometimes they had a 4 man front with what looked like two traditional LBs and a walk up Safety. They also showed a 3-3 type look and brought pressure from that look every time I saw it. The weakest part of their defense is their DBs IMO. I think we can challenge them and win one-on-one battles. This will take USD's best effort and a clean game to get a victory here. They will score points on us, but I anticipate they will also struggle to consistently stop the Coyote offense. The one game SHSU lost this year was on the road at Central Arkansas. In that game UCA was very balanced between rushing and passing. I think that will be important for USD in this game. I think the easier money to be made will be for USD to throw, but I think wearing them down by being more balanced will reap rewards late in the game (and I think this will be the type of game that will be won or lost in the 4th quarter.) If we can be facing a worn down SHSU defense in the fourth and our defense is slightly fresher - I really like our chances. Cannot have bad turnovers - every possession will count against a team like this that scores so frequently. Will be worth the price of admission and I just booked my flight. Anyone Yote fans that would like to tailgate or meet for beers/food before the game, just PM me. Go Yotes!

I see a lot of zone defense being played against SHS. If SHS bread n butter is through the air we will be fine. Our struggles have been the run game in our latest losses. I wonder if Coach Yelk will play more cover 2 this game?

Great post gopheryote! I will have to watch Nielson’s press conference myself to confirm what CF heard Nielson say (our team isn’t the most talented other than Streveler??) I won’t comment on that until I confirm it. Streveler was absolutely in on that touchdown! The barebones fact is this game shows you how significant and important it is to have a solid kicking game. I told my son last year your coaches biggest challenge will be replacing Miles. SDSU’s kicking game was top notch. For an offense to know that you have a lights out kicker with a range and consistent kicking of 45 yards and then some is HUGE!! The mistakes made yesterday aren’t a question of talent....it is more mistakes. Mistakes that were a combination of mental and inexperience. Technically when Nielson’s coaching staff took over the need was was rebuilding... we all know the average time of a rebuild is 3 Years. We are at 2 and have shown significant improvement even with all the roadblocks and distractions this team has had this season. I am usually very optimistic but unfortunately I do not see anyway that USD will be selected today for the playoffs😥 I am holding on to a small hope and hope I am wrong🙏🏽

Golfingyote your down to your 3rd and 5th corners. They are inexperienced and that is for sure. I can tell you that some of those plays yesterday that look like the corners responsibility was not. To sa viewer it looks like it but I know what the defensive calls were and on 1 touchdown that corner had run support not the tight end and on the other it was man and the safety was suppose to have that man. Our team is very young and very talented and good which means years of winning seasons. We are 7-3, when we win next week we are in the playoffs. Next week will define our season as a playoff contender! When you have had 2 big losses in a row it is easy for fans to get down and things to look grim. We have to look at the big picture and be excited about the future as well as believe we will make the playoffs after next weeks win!

We got beaten on all counts. Streveler is a stud but can’t beat teams by himself. Next week we will beat The bunnies at the Dome and make the playoffs. Hopefully fall in a good spot.... and this team will reenergize more experience for inexperienced players and we can go hard in the playoffs!

Turn all the lights down and have red lighting waving around the stadium and the the video boards gets a creative pumped up video of the team and coyotes etc. really creative with dramatic sounds and music. Then the lights pop on and entrance begins for Yotes!! KU basketball has the best pre game entrance I have ever seen and it gets the place going. If anyone is interested in seeing it you tube it. It is spectacular.

I would wait and see what happens. I am confident we are going to win 1 out of the next 2 or both and then we should be a top 8 seed.

Geez bt 71 it is only a question. Has nothing to do with support for Strevy. Actually is more for preservation if he is injured. Again just a discussion question.
