No apologies necessary. Houston had a great game!  Good to see him back where he was 4 games ago. I really think he had an injury he was fighting through. He hasn’t been the same.

Re: Fall 2021 - Week 8 - vs Illinois State

Am I allowed to say that despite all the press our QB is getting for the ISUr game, I think the real player of the game was Dennis Houston?   I think there are several players you could put in that category. Wanza had some solid runs where he found his own holes. Hunter Mason’s 2 sacks in a row rea...

Re: Fall 2021 - Week 8 - vs Illinois State

There is a lot of Private money that’s waiting on the sideline until they see some changes. And I’m not talking about the Coaching staff.

Re: Fall 2021 - Week 8 - vs Illinois State

Western will never be a destination until the have better budget, more resources and an administration that has a vision for football. No seasoned coach will come to a school that shared a score board between departments and until that mentality changes these results are what we will see.  ^^^ This...

Re: Fall 2021 - Week 8 - vs Illinois State

Our Defense is what it is right now, but we have shown that we can be effective against teams that rely on the run.  Hopefully we get Carson back this week, and the D Line can play up to their abilities.  I would feel much better about this game if our Offense was playing better.  3 weeks ago, my pr...

Do you believe coach Elliott had this team prepared to compete today?

Re: Fall 2021 - Week 5 - vs Southern Illinois (Homecoming)

Looking at some Stats from Saturday. Our Defense really stepped up!  SIU is averaging 158 yds rushing on the season, we gave up 51!  We are the only team besides K State (23) to hold them under 30 in regulation. 5 sacks and 2 picks including a pick 6. Hopefully we found something and this will be th...

Re: Fall 2021 - Week 5 - vs Southern Illinois (Homecoming)

Not sure what went in to decision to run it left vs right.  I will say though, that's a "he's open or not" play, so the degree of difficulty left v right shouldn't matter that much.  I was 50/50 with the call to go for 2.  Not my choice, but I don't completely disagree.  Wasn't a fan of th...

The 2 pt conversion play was a run/pass option for Houston.  The CB stayed home and blew up the play.  The LB was on Houston before he could create space.
