Yes, 10-0. Longest pass given up was 33. When your guys are hurt, keep everything in front of you. 35th in nation in pass efficiency defenses. Cats much better. UNC 34th. So third in conference. Tied for 3d in nation in interceptions.
No teams are releasing them, to my knowledge. That would absolutely be a cancer in any locker room, and a huge ceding of competitive advantage to competing teams. There are very, very few people that know what every athlete on the team is getting. Some know a couple, and you hear rumors, but the University is just never going to be releasing NIL figures.
We've seen improvement, too.. but gotta get more consistent at playing the ball, and Some of those passes were launched out of desperation by the qb as he was getting hammered, they caught some, and a few huge PI calls. However, the fact remains we had the defense in the field for 97 plays, and that shit falls on the offense for this game. We simply cant revert to an offense that can't convert 3rd downs and stay on the field, especially down the stretch.
Yes, there are definitely some things to like about the D. Starting to get to the QB much more often than early in the season. Bailey & Ramos are picking up their effectiveness, Mason is a beast, Detrick appears healthy for the first time, Otlewski is the animal we thought he’d be, and Wing is phenomenal. About the only guy who hasn’t really impressed yet (and appears to be losing playing time to Oven at this point) is Tolbert.
You're absolutely right. I know I have said this on here, but a couple of those bailout PI calls were atrocious and game changing. Particularly the last one that landed so far out of bounds it was completely obviously uncatchable, while our DB was the one being held back by the WR. If that isn't called, we get the stop and walk away with a MUCH better looking victory and we would significantly less hand wringing within Griz Nation.
Recruiting is simple. Just get better players. Duh.
the last one was atrocious. DB has every right to the football as the receiver. Usually don't see that called when head is looking back for ball.
And when neither of them had any realistic chance of getting to the ball. It was uncatchable. That PI call was indefensible, in my opinion, and it absolutely set the momentum and finish into place. There was another one, too, and if not for those two calls you can probably knock 60-100 yards of off EWU's passing totals.
You are completely right.
Exactly! Most officials wouldn't throw that flag. hand fighting is usually permitted as long as there is no jersey tugging or arm clamping.
I’ll admit, I didn’t play past high school and know very little about the recruiting world esp in the age of NIL. I should’ve phrased the question in a less accusatory manner, I know it’s not easy. That said, it’s hard not to compare to little bro’s defense and wonder what they’re doing differently. Injuries have obviously taken their toll and it’s hard to account for that.100% agree on the above commentary, also note that was perhaps the worst / least favorable officiating crew in the league. When I see that white hat on the field, I cringe as to whats to come. There are some good crews in our league, that ain't one of them.
