Magleby healthy yet?

Magleby healthy yet?

I'm at that point as well. Safron looks lost back there. Total regression from weeks 1 and 2 and even playing worse than last week. Total embarrassment.

I'm not kidding you when I say this loss will cost us 1000s in attendance for the rest of the year. Did radio say the #?

I haven't heard one yet, and I agree we will see paltry numbers the rest of the way. CP is having a great year so maybe they bring a lot of fans for that game but other than that we'll be lucky to break 8k.

Defense is gased now. UND should be able to pile on a couple more TD's before the night is done.

We're an FCS joke. This was a game we needed if we thought we had any shot at a playoff game. I don't know what it is, but whenever we get on the cusp of success, we just sh1t all over ourselves...

hno:

 

[SDHornet]

10,774 I think is what I heard. Nice to see a game break 10k...to bad that won't happen again this season. hno:

TD UND 35-7 late 4th. This game was a lot closer than the score will indicate, it would have been even closer is Safron didn't shit himself all game long.

Magleby is in!!! 1st play is a lazer for a completion.

Leaving the game now.

Sperbeck, you brought Magleby in for a reason. Now is the time.

 

[SDHornet]

The announcer (not Jason Ross) said Safron has done a great job all year. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Are you fucking kidding me.

A Pity TD for teh Hornets, Magleby to Harrison.
Castaneda misses the PAT. May as well miss it when it doesn't matter.
35-13 late 4th.

35-13 Final. I have no problem with Magleby getting more reps with the 1st team this week of practice and getting the nod into next week. Hat off to the defense. They contained the potent UND offense for much of the game and just ran out of gas trying to cover up the ineffectiveness and mistakes of Safron. I'm completely off the Safron band wagon at this point. Time for the coaches to evaluate some options at QB.

Couple thoughts...Even with Safron trying to single-handedly beat his own team, the game was 14-7 in the third when Sperbeck made the call to go for it on his side of the field on 4th and 1. It caught UND off guard and Safron tried to quick snap it but ended up running right into his center, giving UND great field position. You could literally see the life go out of the defense, and UND proceeded to run down our throat the rest of the game.

I've never been a fan of Safron and was disappointed when he was named starter. Was surprised by the Colorado game and thought I was maybe too harsh on him, but the last two games confirmed my fears. He can't read defenses or make throws other than the occacional screen or fade. He missed so many guys tonight and threw into coverage. I thought when we hired Sperbeck he was supposedly a great developer of QB's...who has he developed since he's been at Sac? Fleming fell into his lap and was good for one season before getting hurt. MBT was in and out of the lineup. We haven't had a steady Qb since Ricky Ray.

We were gashing UND's D with the run all first half but for some reason every time we got on their side of the field we'd decide to start throwing the ball.

UND is a solid club, but that was a win for the taking, and we absolutely yakked all over ourselves

 

[SDHornet]

Spot on PH. Spot fucking on. The 4th and 1 would have worked if we hurried to the line and snapped it. Instead the offense stood around all confused and then Safron took his time snapping the ball. Had it been a "bang-bang" hurry up 4th down play it probably works. I still can't get over that fumble inside the 5. I mean how do you fuck that up.

 

[Green Cookie Monster]

How many batted down at the LOS did he have?

New blood. Safron has been adequate at best the last two games. To score only 13pts against is unacceptable.

ISU will be looking to kick ass as they got their ass whipped by Nebraska 73- :lol:
They are as much a pass happy team as these sod farmers. Learn from it.

Think the D is winded now, wait till next Sat. at elevation with the same 60+ pass plays.

The D had great pressure tonight and if they get this pressure next week ISU will struggle. ISu doesn;t have the running game that UND has. Now if Safron starts and shits down his leg again then yes, the D will get winded...again.

Horrible night. Horrible decision making by Safron and the coaching staff. First I questioned why we went for it on 4th and 1 from our 45. The worst part abut that play was UND had 16 guys on the field and not one official threw the flag. Also their ball placements were a bit questionable too.

Defense left on the field way too long. Two turnovers in the red zone is absolutely unacceptable. The fumble at the five was the center's fault and correct me if I'm wrong but I think that was the same drive he was banged up a bit near midfield.

Time to make a qb change. Give Magleby a shot as far as I'm concerned.

Two steps forward, three steps backward with this program.

It's literally the same pattern for as long as I have followed this program. No sustained success, just flashes. Its tough to say this, but I think I'm at the point now where I'm going to stop following until they win 5 games in a row.

I thought we should have been running the ball everydown. Graham and Ellis were ripping off huge chunks of yardage, and if I'm them, I'm pissed on Monday about the playcalling.

I had finally gotten over the fumble that should have tied the game at the half, when Safron threw that pick into double coverage near the end zone, a horrible ball. He did it all night. Balls behind guys, right into coverage. It was brutal.

This should have been a very close game heading into the final 5 minutes.

This.

We seem to lack consistency and above average success at QB. This is on Sperbeck. He has had six years to have a stable of waiting QB's and Safron is supposed to guide us above .500 for only the second time in six years?

I kinda liked the Pro-set used by Volek. The QB's were bigger, less mobile but had rifle arms and could go deep. We keep getting these half runner/half passer kinda QB's who either get hurt or aren't too particularly good at either throwing downfield or shifty enough to be a good runner. Most have shotgun arms that isn't worth the throw over 25yds.

I am really getting tired of another 4-7 season.

I thought Peterson was going to score points? His old team came back from being down to PSU to win the game. The system that is making SUU successful is not the OC, it is the HC and I can only blame these lack luster games/seasons on Sperbeck.

He is a likable fellow and gets the job done in every category but one.
Is that what we want?

If Sorenson is the guy Peterson recruited to run his offense, then we should be throwing him in there now to take his lumps. We're gonna win 5 games anyways, let him loose.

Wait a minute. We're 2-2. The season hasn't been pi$$ed away yet. Why are we freaking out as if it already has been?

We have a chance to get our act together against hapless ISU next week, and we can build from there. Why not give the guys a chance to build the character required to win? It's not over yet!

Dude you have no clue. We outgained UND all game. We shot ourselves in the foot because we don't have a killer instinct. GCM is right. The type of program we have, we need to have pro-set QB's. That's how we can recruit for offensive personnel to come play for us. We had almost 500 yards and only 13 points? Are you kidding me? And Graham had 100 yards in the first quarter rushing!!! We (coaches and players) make bad decisions at the most crucial points on the field.

You are so right. Being 2-2, I will take it. We still have a chance to be in the playoffs. Also Manuel Noriega has always been a dictator, but he was our dictator. Then he decide to go rogue, and the CIA just became fed up with him and got rid of him.
