FCS Playoffs Round of 16: SDSU @ EWU Game Thread

luckyintheorder said:
SDSU lost to S. Illinios and Missouri St. Beat Youngstown St. All 4 were 5-3 in conference. S. Illinios had the next best overall record at 7-5 to SDSU 8-4. SDSU only beat YSU out of all the second place teams. Missouri St beat S. Ill and SDSU head to head and didn't face YSU, ended with a 5-7 record.

Some would say that they beat up on each other, but SDSU wasn't even the second best team in this conference in games that mattered, at least by record and head to head.

Posted on Prediction thread: SDSU is 50th in rushing on 500 carries, EWU is 53rd on 400 carries. Wish we weren't so one dimensional :-)
Me to, it's not fun watching this type of football ;) It will get better if D.J. Martin gets his grades and stays in school! YOU TUBE him.

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.


No harm no foul. I was mostly trying to spark discussion. I can now see how my post was misleading.

Yes, and you can bet the SDSU staff noticed that in film.


What do you think Eastern will have to change on defense to prevent their tall receiver from making big plays? In other words, what should have happened differently defensively vs Portland?

My guess is, if the kid is legit, we'll have to press in cover 2 and jam him at the line. If he stays in the flat, the corner stays with him, if he turns downfield the safety will need to pick him up. But getting in his cage at the line of scrimmage and making him fight to get out on a route will be important.


How well can our corners jam a 220 pound receivers? If he can lay a hit, I can imagine this having opposite effect by throwing off the cover man. I can see the need for double coverage on this receiver. His bulk will make it difficult for him to break away from our secondary, so I don't see him as a Bihar play receiver (especially with their inaccurate QB).

Just call me Trebeck.

Gotta laugh!

I really feel like Eastern is the more talented team in this and in the normal run of things would win. I wish this game was the first week of September. You never know what can happen when a wildcard like extreme weather is thrown in. We could have problems handling it; just as easily, they could have problems playing in it. My feeling though is that it is more of a neutralizing force than something that allows a better team to maintain an advantage.

I really hope our D comes out in their best form tomorrow--- including on the often poorly played first drive--- and lets our offense get back on the field and in a warm rhythm all game long.
 
Saw the SDSU bus pull into the Red Lion today and I got to talking to an employee. We were discussing ways to disrupt the team at the Hotel. Jokingly of course. :D We talked about short sheeting their beds, running up and down the halls late at night. Having the fix it guys make up reasons to fix stuff in their rooms and pulling the fire alarm at 3am. Anything to help my Eags!!
