Well, it doesn't look like we're going to turn this one around. Hopefully we can get another TD to close the gap some.

the O hasn't done shit this half. The offensice coordinator has done a crap job of adapting to the blitz. we need more quick hitters not these slow developing plays.

Why does every OC look the same once they come to work for Best.... so many instances where these exact play calls happen the past several years. someone is living in the past and needs to stop. Period.

Probably some truth to this.
Remember when we had Troy Taylor as OC?

NDSU is very good on D but we've shot ourselves in the foot multiple times.

:facepalm: Why try an onside kick when you're down 25 points with 4 minutes left in the game?

This play calling is absolutely killing me.
And for those who thought Talkington--- not the defense--- was the problem.... yeah. The offense with a new QB still looks shitty and the defense still can't tackle and has no idea who to defend running plays. Does anyone think playing NDSU darn near every season when they kick our ass each time makes sense? I feel like as bad as our defense is year after year, getting some AD support with letting us make some reasonable schedules that allow the team to develop sure wouldn't hurt.
Fresno State just beat Purdue on the road... and got paid $1.3mm to do it... and now we travel there. Stupid is as stupid does.

Talkington certainly wasn’t the only problem. But we’ve had terrrible defenses in the past but still found ways to win games because we had elite players on offense.
Seriously, when is the defense ever any good? It’s always been our achilles heel, even in years we’ve made deep playoff runs.

Therein lies the problem. Why can't we find some tough ass dudes on defense anymore? Go back and watch the Eastern teams of the early 90s. They put out a quality product year after year. There are legit D guys Eastern can lock in. You may have to redshirt an undersized guy for a year and develop him. He may need to add 30 pounds. But those guys exist (ie Tommy Williams, Jason Marsh). Baldwin's best teams featured some guys of that caliber. You need to find a guy who can give you 60 plays a game, knowing he's gonna get creamed from time to time, but is still willing to dust himself off and stay nasty.
The most embarrassing play of today's game was the soft inside run where we missed about 5 tackles and their RB bolted into the endzone. Rewatch Tennessee State's first play TD against us last year. It was nearly identical... one guy hit the ball carrier and the rest of the D stood around waiting for him to fall. He didn't, took off, and scored a long TD. Wash, rinse, repeat. It's bullshit. It's soft. Tommy Williams and Jason Marsh would've murdered the ball carrier in that situation.
