Students Rush the Field

Why did the students rush the field? I know the Victory Bell and everything, but seriously? Maybe if Weber were the underdogs in the game, and the team had just pulled off an incredible upset. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. UNC wasn't suppose to beat Weber, the game wasn't suppose to be that close, in all reality the students should have been ashamed that it took 4 overtimes to win a game that the Cats should have lost a couple of times. That just tells us how little the student body knows about Weber State sports. However, on the flip side, I was happy there were some students at the game (700 out of 24K).

A. the Defense was terrible. The Defensive Ends played the worst game that I have seen in a decade. They are suppose to contain, which wasn't what was happening. Granted, I think they played well against Boston College in the second half, so I'm sure they will improve. They are really young. I think 75% of the DL are underclassmen. No matter, they need to grow up fast and the idiots running the defense need to figure out how to help them while keeping the middle closed.

B. Turnovers!! WTF... Serious? I'm sick of the undiscipline nature of the teams. Granted, penalties and turnovers are going to happen with a young team, but shouldn't be happening because of the seniors. 2 by Cam, 2 by Tafuna, and 1 by Collins... Three SRs. They need to lead!

C. Special teams, especially the punting team. YIKES!! How do you have 6 guys around a man and allow him to break into the open field?

D. Tackling...It was beyond poor today. You can't just run at a guy and hit him. WRAP UP, and drive him back.

All of these issues are basics. This team has the potential to being really good, but until they figure out the basics they wont be. Thankfully, we have MAC. He will have the guys working on the little things. I am concerned about the 4th quarter play calling. We had them on the ropes and didn't go for the knockout. Instead we lost our imagination and tried to run out the clock with 10 mins to go leading by 7. That isn't the way to win a game like yesterdays. You need to knockout the other team.
 
It is kinda weird to think that the students rushed the field against a "underdog" team. But I for one, am happy the students rushed the field! That shows me they at least have pride and emotion to go celebrate with THEIR school! Or maybe the students rushed the field becuase they DO have a clue about Weber State sports. I'm sure they understood that if Weber loses, playoffs and a tile run are all but out off of the picture. I will not appoligize to anyone for what the students did. When you have a passion for something, and you are cheering and screaming the whole game, and your team finally wins in that matter, the students had a right to rush the field. Yeah, the lights went out. Big deal!! We are all human and it was an error that was fixed. I still give a lot of credit to the defense. People can gripe all they want on the defense, but for what they did, they played well! People who don't understand football think the defense was losing the game. That would be false.. The fact that the defense held UNC out of the endzone many times is unreal. How many goal-line stops did you see last night? Mulitiple.. The defense was put in horrible positions all night. The 6 turnovers meant 6 more postions that the defense had to be on the field for. That's tiring and difficult to do. Did you not see the time of posession? The defense and special teams won us that game. Clutch field goals made and a clutch field goal block!! The DE's played well! I'm not sure what Talhad was watching, but if you watch the replay, the ends were forcing the qb to scramble all night, he never was throwing out of the pocket .. The qb was able to scramble and cut inside and out. They had numerous sacks and qb hurries. The Defense played well. The secondary played good.. Many great plays on the ball and they saved two or three touchdowns. Yeah we should have won by more and it shouldn't be that close. It is what it is. Many this will help the students come back because it was exciting and fun to watch! And for some of you( I won't say your name), I noticed you were apoligizing to the UNC fans on their site for students rushing the field, but I saw you down there as well, so....? Just be happy we won and things are still on track for another Big Sky Title!!
 
I thought it was classless and idiotic. Your fans acted as though you just won the National Championship. Give me a break, you beat a bad team. Congrats.
 
It was a dramatic finish. Not too often you have 4 overtimes. Not too often the lights go out. I was actually pleased they rushed the field. It showed that the fans care and got excited about a very fun win. My heck, the way people are complaining here,you would have thought they lost to the west haven jr pee wee team. I have never seen an ugly win.

Take your foot out of your mouth. The defense spent most of the game on the field because of the 6 to none turnover ratio. We see students rushing the field every Saturday on ESPN. Get used to it. Not a biggie. You can go block them the next time we have a quadruple overtime game.

If there were any idiots running a defense it was NC not WSU. They forced 6 turnovers and still allowed almost 600 yards and 50 points. We have the youngest team in the conference, give them a break. We are 1-0.

Gotta agree on this one...nice to have people in the stands....makes it nice for the players also, haha. Rush the field every game, it doesn't matter, life is too short....enjoy! GO CATS :)
 
I think it was fantastic that the students rushed the field! I have attended every Weber State home and away football game during the last 4 seasons and there were many games I had to be held back from rushing the field. The win against the Grizz at home in 2008 I wanted to grab a chunk of turf that was torn up in the monsoon. The win in Bozeman vs. Montana State in 2008 I tried to jump the rail but my hands froze to the metal rail and I got stuck. The playoff win at Cal Poly in 2008 was a classic but the rail was too high to jump over and chance getting hurt so close to ski season. The 73-68 win at Portland State we were too exhausted to even try to climb the rail.

This is college football! Get all jacked up on Dew or whatever and do something crazy and have fun! Go Wildcats!
