Why is Weber playing in St George? This game should be in Ogden. My understanding is this is a home and home series.
You will never see BYU , UU, or USU in Ogden.
We should not see Weber in St George unless it is a 2 for 1 arrangement ( and even then I would grumble)
Was a 2 for 1 but 1st game in Ogden canceled last season for obvious reasons. DSU is now FCS so different than Weber vs BYU, UU, and USU who are FBS.
It probably still is a two for one deal. I think we agreed to go there first from the beginning. Nobody wanted to go there and they were in a predicament. If we get the same sort of officiating that Sac got, I would think that we would never want to go there again. I don't know where those refs came from, they could have just rounded up some off duty deputies for all I know, but they were horrible and totally one sided. I'm not a Sac fan, but they had to beat a 17 man side. They did it, so no harm done, but it was not a good thing to see. We used to get that sort of thing from SUU when they were not in the BSC. I think the problem is that no ref, worth his salt, wants to do a game anywhere near there. I don't blame them. It will be interesting to see how this whole WAC thing works out. Seems to me like a bunch of teams that nobody wants.
Enough of that. How do we beat the Slavers? Stopping their run game seems to be the easiest thing to do. Sac did it quite handily. I don't think their run game will be the key. If given the time their QB could hurt you. So don't give him any time. If we pressure him, he will make some mistakes. That much was evident in their game with Sac. Beating their D will probably mean that we have to beat a 17 man crew. That is easier to do with the run game. You can get behind their secondary if the refs will call any sort of holding or PI. In the Sac game the Slaver's DBs would just tackle their man 20 yards out and it worked all game long. A blind ref, who just read the braille version of the rules, would have done a better job. Maybe that's what the situation was, I don't know. I do know this, if that situation doesn't change, nobody will go there to play in the future. Why would you?
With a solid officiating crew we win going away. With a crew like Sac got, the game is too close for comfort.
