Here is a list of the Missouri Valley all-conference.
WR -- Jason Schneider, South Dakota State 6-5 220 Jr., concerns me. Portland State's tall receiver manhandled us.
Get over it. Something to help overcome underdog mentality. :nod:
Lesson - play loose and let 'er rip!

I don't think we are underdogs and I'm definitely not saying that SDSU will win. What is the point in football discussion if you don't talk about the strengths and weaknesses of both teams?
Consider me thoroughly chastised. :tiptoe:
Don't disagree at all with a discussion or a question being posed. Don't read minds if a comment is posed as a statement and not in the form of a question.
Dopa had a reasonable suggestion to the big receiver quandry and have seen other ideas on how to cover "kaufmanesque" receivers -- hell, I had one about Henderson in the Montana game about over under coverage in the red zone as well.
In the case of SDSU, they leverage the play action for most of their passing attack, so cover corners and safeties are going to have to be very disciplined and stay on receivers and/or in zones. I like press coverage to throw off routes and bring extra pressure (via LB or Safeties) on QB to cause chaos; not sure EWU is built to do that a full game. In that case, recognizing passing downs double covering the WR might be the next best situation or Dopa's suggestion of over/under zone, probably a form of all three at different areas of the field will be in order to be successful. Team discipline with the rest of the defense is necessary in any event. All this is easier if we take an early lead. After watching two SDSU games on ESPN3, they lack vertical speed at WR as you suggest.
