There are a TON of posters on this board who don't know football, not a damn thing. I'm serious when I say that. A majority of this board expected a blow out. And then when they didn't get it everybody is terrible. Not a single poster has stated anything about the caliber if opponent we played. And they just want to talk about how it's unacceptable to lose to a FCS.
Look, that team we played last night is at about their max potential. They won't get a whole helluva lot better through the season because all of these players have been together for several years. We had a new QB and an entire defense.
All of that said, we looked fantastic 36 minutes into this game. We had a 2-TD lead and they had roughly 140 yrds of offense.
Our talent is not as bad as many on here are now saying (the irony of the is most of the same people thought we would be awesome in game 1) and things will get a lot better.
Hey, I know they were a solid team (and top notch for an FCS school). That said, there were huge offensive issues for KSU in regard to the run game (Waters was not a threat to keep the ball and run it on the options he had (he tended to give it to Hubert no matter what the D did) and KSU allowed NDSU to scheme away almost every advantage it had on O and special teams, and no real answers were brought to bear to solve that disparity.
We won't talk about the D up front, nor the lack of fundamentals going on up there, those are pretty obvious.
However, unless some serious fixes are brought to bear, it could be real ugly this year, including next week (ULL isn't a pushover).
