SDSU

I must have tailgated harder than I realized since I never recognized that Saeger was limping and possibly playing hurt.

I noticed on TV that Saeger was limping around quite a bit in the second quarter and he looked fairly one-dimensional after that. Even though he put up some numbers I wondered as the game wore one if he could stick it out.

Notwithstanding, no griping here. Woulda, coulda, shoulda doesn't work on this board or for Coyote fans in general. We'll even up the series in due time.

Did he hurt it on that throwback pass?

Once again I'm heart broken for the kids that played that game. Without question, those two teams on the field yesterday were evenly matched. You can build an argument we were the better team, and in some areas we were, but at the end of the day, what separates the great teams from the good teams is believing they can get it done. And SDSU right now believes, and we are still in that hoping mindset.

I find no fault with the efforts our kids put forth. They played their asses off. And I have no intention of throwing any players under the bus,but when it comes to a couple of key positions, we just don't have the horses to get it done. They are good enough to beat anyone in the league, and other than MIZZOU STATE, anyone is capable of beating us. But quite frankly, that's a huge improvement over last year. Last year no one believed. They didn't even hope.

For three quarters we were the best team on the field. Our play calling was aggressive, and kept The Jacks at bay. For how touted their defense came into the game, we riddled them. But, we didn't riddle them when it counted. When it counted, we didn't get the job done. Plain and simple. As much as vomit collects inside my mouth for saying this, my hats off to SDSU for playing 60 minutes. Yesterday, they were not the better team statistically, but honestly they made plays when it mattered. The second quarterback that came in had a huge chip on his shoulder, and he was the difference. In order for us to be contenders, we have to neutralize those situations. You never will stop it, but you have to slow it down.

Quite frankly I'm tired of losing to this team, and honestly, the streak should've ended yesterday. But I refuse to fault the kids for their effort. My opinion is for us to develop a little more talent in the skill positions. We are just not real good there. The ones that play, play hard. But we need someone to step up and perform at top level. Yesterday Ryan should've caught that ball on the throwback and scored. Had he done that, in my opinion, it was game, set, match. It was over. But that gave them new life. Sometimes we just aren't close in delivering the ball to open people, and when we do, many times we drop it. We need playmakers. Period.

To the fans skeptical I stand by my post several weeks ago when I said we were a much better football team than last year, but I don't know how many more wins that would convert into. We are relevant in the league. Period. But we need to climb the next hill to go to the next level.

The coverage on weineke was unreal. I'm baffled by our ineptitude there. Absolute disaster.

I think you underestimate how good he is. Before you say he was wide open, a big portion of what I mean is his speed (regardless of his great size) and his route running.

Best player in the conference, IMO.

Tusen Takk Soskinbarn Eddie. Trying out my Norwegian here. In English, a thousand thank you's Cousin Eddie.

The Kansas Coach Beatty spotted Weinke on tape and thought he would played for him at Texas A&M. I personally like your running back Fredrick. He is hard one to stop.
SDSU does not have the special teams skills that USD has at FG and we got away with a facemask when Paris grabbed Anderson face mask. The guys from Midco doing the game saw it and pointed it out.

Great game to watch and be at. The difference in the game was Saeger throwing lobbed INTs. One in the end zone and the pick six. Makes a little more sense if he was injured, as there was no zip on either pass and were easily picked off. Wienke was open too often. He is great, and too many times he was guarded one on one and needed to help with a safety. All of their other WRs are average. Fredrick played great and made a lot of guys miss. He nearly broke off two runs that would have been 50+ yard TDs. Yotes let this game slip away and should have came out with a W. I am proud of the team though, they played a well fought game against a good State team. I heard yesterday SDSU does not have replay at their home games. I thought it was mandatory in MVFC to have this?

I was in the dome yesterday and at Coughlin for the USD STate game last year. I was amazed at the progress you have made since last year. Comparing on the results of one game is always questionable, but last Year I saw a team that had no self confidence and truly was not competitive. This year I saw a team that would be in the top third of any FCS conference other than the Missouri Valley any is competitive in MVFC. The Jacks played one quarter of ball like we know they can play. And three quarters that were subpar but that is a credit to the game you were playing. And yes Wienke is as good as he looked in the fourth quarter.

They don't have it this year because of the construction.

Whether that should be allowed or not is up for debate. I do know it's not mandatory. It'll be there next year though.

[Yotes]

I thought the TV angles were all that was needed to have review. Surprised that the construction interferes with this. I am but a fan who has no idea what actually goes into the replay process I guess.

If I recall correctly, when the determination was made that there would be instant replay, it was stated that instant replay would be optional for the 2014 and 2015 seasons. It becomes mandatory in 2016. SDSU announced almost immediately that we would wait until 2016 because if we started in 2014 the system would have to be installed and removed each of the optional years because of construction. I have never seen specific requirements for the number of cameras or specific camera angles but assume that they exist and that minimum requirements are specified.

I try and hold my tongue, and even stick up for the staff as often as I can. But why the hell would we run between the tackles on 3rd and 7 with a minute to go in the ball game? I know it worked, but come on.

While we're on this topic, does anybody know exactly what types of plays will be reviewed? It seems like this year, especially in the dome, the most questionable calls don't get reviewed. Example, Youngstown when we throw an incomplete pass 10 yds down field but somehow it's called a fumble, but later they review the spot of the football when it would have been a first down either way. Every week it seems like we get railroaded on a call, and everyone in my section is saying "Oh no, they'll review it" but they generally don't. I am not at all clear what is reviewable at this level.

As far as I'm concerned, either we commit to review as it's done in the FBS, or don't do it at all.

Not to single out any one person, but when does a position coach and/or coordinator realize and/or admit that they are in over their head? I don't expect a NFL 2 minute drill at the end of the game, but we have to have something better than what we had on Saturday. Our guys played their butts off on Saturday, but in my opinion, their coaches let them down by not providing the best in-game guidance and/or coaching that was needed. Joe admitted in his post-game radio interview that there were coaching miscues and he took responsibility for that. I respect Joe for doing that, but there comes a point that he can't be the one to always fall on the sword (even though I know as head coach that's his job). Our coordinators and/or position coaches need to admit that they screwed up and take some of the responsibility.

Ic, i figured it had to do with the construction. Thanks for clearing that up.

My only thoughts are we let yet another game slip away to the Jacks. I don't care about improvement or that, oh boy, we are now competitive. No way. We had a 10 point lead with a quarter to go at home. That is a game we need to finish and win. Especially against State. Losing to them is getting real old.
