BYU support publication helps Viks with strategy

[BroadwayVik]

What their publication provided: How BYU can be successful (Viking Offense): If BYU football can contain Josh Kraght and control the line of scrimmage, the Cougars defense should have a good game. The Vikings do not have a lot of offensive options to go to if Josh Kraght is contained. The Vikings will probably have a decent year offensively in their conference because of their dual-threat running quarterback and experienced offensive line, however against the big BYU defensive line, the Vikings may have struggles.

PSU Viking Strategy enhancement: Create reliable, unexpected offensive threats (perhaps in player combinations) in addition to Kraght.

What their publication provided: How BYU can be successful (Viking Defense): BYU should be able to run very well against the Vikings. With a depleted defensive line and no returning starting linebackers, the Cougars should be able to convert a lot of “3rd and short” plays. BYU football should also be able to pick apart the secondary with a lot of drop-off passes. The deep play and the trick-play options will not be as effective as the Cougars may like, so holding off until other opponents may be in their best interest.

PSU Viking Strategy enhancement: Practice up effective 3rd down and short combinations on defense. Play bend but don't break defensive strategy.

What their publication provided: How BYU can be successful (Viking Special Teams): Get a blocked kick. Last season, Jonathan Gonzales had two field goal attempts blocked. If BYU can get a block early, it could affect Gonzales the rest of the game. On punts, having good coverage can be huge. FBS schools love it when FCS schools have a great punter. It allows for big returns as the returning team is normally much bigger and faster than the coverage team.

PSU Viking Strategy enhancement: Just knowing this expectation of theirs is beneficial; thwarting it through full execution is key (execute kicking game fully); take a lesson from North Dakota State and not feel any intimidation from any opponent.

What I care about is we give them a run for their money. We play to our utmost on our upward path to ever improving.

I, Mayor Ted Wheeler of Portland, Oregon would like to say that we wish to dedicate Saturday, August 26th, to the Portland State Vikings as they take on the BYU Cougars at their place in Provo, Utah.

Go Vikings!! May you be a whole lot of toughness.

 

[BroadwayVik]

Go Viks!! Rough 'em up a bit for all of us.

President Shoureshi says: "My hope is that Portland State will represent the university and themselves with dedication, execution and tenacity. My best to the team and this venture ahead."

I hope this recent scandal doesn't destroy the work that has been invested in the program. Sure will be a field day for the announcers in the upcoming BYU and OSU games, though. I hope there is recovery from this.

Our coach is stupid. We need a new one.

 

[scooter1]

Alan, just out of curiosity what does OCE stand for ? Is it a college or university ? And where is it located ?

 

[Alan1]

Scooter, OCE or Oregon College of Education, is one of the previous names for Western Oregon University. It is located in Monmouth, Oregon.

No he is not "a great guy." Any one who behaves like that is a real jerk. I am ashamed that he is Portland State's football coach. He should have resigned. He didn't. He needs to be fired.

Alan. Just curious, what's your view on trump?

My statement on our football coach comes pretty close.

For what? For being "flirtatious" in the office? Nothing has come out that it went any further than a few text messages (if I may add, I've never been inclined to sort through my wife's texts before). Now, later on, if it comes out that there is more to the story, then there may be something more for the school to do, but as of now, this is pretty tame as compared to other Big Sky schools or other Oregon higher education schools.

I have to say, I am glad you are not my boss.

Alan, I thought you Alt Left are supposed to be tolerant and forgiving??? You are full of judgement. Are you free from the guilt of ever doing something you regretted later? This isn't behaviour that any coach should be subject to, but we really do not know all the facts, so I for one would never call for someone's job. If you hate this team so much, may I ask why you still are lurking here?
