see that’s the thing. The same f’ing things hurt this team every game and there are never any adjustments. Always go back to the same strategy that failed before to ensure an easywin becomes a nail biter or …worse, like BgSU, NW, Illinois 2022 AND2023.

i posted this in the first half. How prescient. We lost because of the thought our D had that we needn’t pressure their QB. It was an obvious failure of a strategy early in the game, it continued to fail throughout the game, and defeated our ownteam on their last drive. What gets me is how...

it’s all about keeping the game as close as possible, never burying the opponent, always keeping them in the game with ultra-conservative calls. That happens because PJ and company are afraid to go out and try to win. Afraid to step on the other team when they are down. Afraid to seize the...

PJ decided that on every 3rd or 4th and long all game we’d rush usually only 3, occasionally only 4, and play soft zone…. and only once brought pressure…and that one time was the one that worked the best? PJ calls those? well if so, then he needs to give up control. That kind of D is not...

agreed. This is Rossi’s second worst game of the year, second only to the complete crap he called against NW. In both cases he decided to bring no pressure on bad QBs. Football coaches are not exactly smart people.

This loss is nearly as infuriating as the NW loss. Both absolutely atrocious. Both played Prevent D against god awful offenses and got trashed because of it. Just. never. learn. ever. Lost to BOTH of the worst teams in the West because they are too chicken to win. BOTH.

Did Illinois play fucking prevent D? On ANY play of the last four? NO. Every down was pressure. Every one. Gopher D, PREVENT. On 4th and 11!!!! Illinois D - bring pressure every play, including 4th and 10.

how many times can we do a 3 or 4 man rush and get burned today….and keep doing the same failing scheme? just unreal. just needed ANY pressure on that 4th and 11 and the game is over. But noooooooo. Do the prevent D rush 3 scheme that failed 7/8 times prior. Just maddening.

loss.

just infuriating to go into a D shell again. It was right there.

Prevent D AGAIN on 4th and 11. Against the fucking backup. WHY???

finally a great play call and AK misses the 5 yard pass by 2 feet high and zero touch.

AK with room for a first down run, but pulls it outside to bring up 3rd down. gah.

will rutm, rutm, rutm, punt and have to do D all over again.

can we discuss this after the game IF we win?

Now we need first downs. can we mix up passing and running enough to do it?? bc no way we run this every play down their throats. their run D has been solid today.

INT! What was Altmeyer doing there, all the time in the world.

uhhhh.

this. creative, but bad.

why not go back to Jackson on the 2? what’s the worst that could happen? weird play call.
