Embrace the pace of the race.

I'd ask Santa for an offensive line, but by the time he gets here it will be too late. And just for venting's sake, I realize the TV people are broadcasting students, and I've been willing to cut them some slack.....but I really wanted to throttle them today when their commentary was all about the QB. Yeah, he had a bad (actually pretty terrible) day, but neither he nor the other QB options have any protection, and they are all going to have issues. Personally, I'd say Davenport has the arm, Ogala has a good arm and he can scramble (but can't throw as well as Davenport and can't scramble like Bruno), and Bruno has the legs. Still, if they have nothing keeping defenders from getting to them, none of the skills matter.
Northern Iowa wins the game 52-17

I saw at least one positive. A little more creativity in the running game, early at least. The A gaps and B gaps are pretty much off limits so a little guy who can change direction on a dime and bounce it outside one way or the other, did get us a few rushing yards. But if the (whichever) QB continues to lead the team in rushing, it will be a very long season. Each QB has specific strengths and weaknesses, put them all together in body and we probably have a slightly above average MVFC QB to run the show. We have to start playing complementary football, after all, it is a team game. The D get a stop or takeaway - the O needs to put points on the board. It works the other way too - points on the board, the D needs a 3 and out to keep the momentum flowing.
Embrace the pace of the race.
