All Quiet on the Western Front. Looking for a good game, and expecting a good game. We need all of the above that you mentioned, Skippy. Go Bengals!
After a shaky series or two, Idaho State is dominating at half. Offense looks very sharp and d is gang tackling. Don't know how it will translate to Big Sky play, but you couldn't ask for a whole lot more right now. Here's hoping for a clean third quarter and a lot of backups in the fourth.

A good win for the Bengals today against a very good D-2 opponent.

Win is a win.
I remember thinking midway through the third quarter that Idaho State was dominating the game and putting together a nice game to build on.
Then in happened and I am not sure what to think. I saw so many really good things. But the special teams execution still manages to cost ISU points and it seems to do it every week.
Other than that I was pretty happy with what I saw.
The jury is still out on this team, maybe ISU can get things together and play a complete game against Sac State for homecoming. If they can put together a solid 60 minutes, who knows what can happen.

Some observations:
ISU has some short CBs that could not cover taller WR's from Chadron State. This will be an issue in Big Sky play.
Chadron State's CBs did not turn around and look for the ball in the first half and early second half. It seems that their coverage improved as the game went on.
ISU's offensive line looked big and good.
ISU has a running game this year, thank goodness.

It was stressful trying to figure out if we were into the game, it felt like, considering all three games we weren't all in.
In that context I really feel like we control our own destiny. I think we have even ought tools in the shed to make some noise, just not sure why we don't show it every quarter.

That was not good. This was not even a top 25 d2 team.ST is the worse I've ever seen. We have a lot to fix. May have to wait for 2015

I wasn't there, but it was 39-13 at the end of the third, right? Sounds like a trouncing through 3 quarters, with a collapse the fourth, presumably with many #2s on the field. I get being concerned about the Q4 letdown, but the doom and gloom seems ridiculous to me. Lots of reasons to remain optimistic. Go Bengals!

Giving up 21 points in the 4th Qtr. to an unranked DII team is not good. The Bengals did play three good Qtr's. Take the win and move on.
Chadron State is picked to finish second in the RMAC. The team picked to finish first in the RMAC, CSU-Pueblo, beat Northern Colorado last year and just beat FCS power and #15 ranked Sam Houston State this weekend, 47-21.
Agree with the last two posters - 3 quarters looked good. Work on what went wrong and move on.

Just a guess but I'll say we're 1 and 4 after the EWU game.

Notabengalalum, what's your point? Sac State is a winnable game, so why don't you focus on what needs to be done to make that happen instead of throwing your team under the bus.

Sac State is a winnable game for the Bengals but we will need to play four solid quarters without many mistakes to win. This will be a tough nose game. A win here for the Bengals will build confidence throughout the season.

Did anyone notice that Chadron had receivers ranging from 6'6" to 6'3"; several of them? It had to be tough to cover those guys and their qb made plays. This was not a terrible team. We had breakdowns but they made plays with those receivers and that made it easier for them to run the ball. Ism concerned but not distraught.

We fell apart in the 4th quarter. No excuse to give up 21 points to a DII team in the 4th quarter and almost lose the game. I hope we are working hard with our special team play these next two weeks before the Sac State game.

It's interesting to visit these posts from a few weeks ago.. Where is bhumble? I would've thought he'd come back to recant his statements on Tingey and the football team at some point. Say what you will about our AD.. The one thing he HAS done, is produced some pretty nice RESULTS!
