UNLV Game Thoughts

[Cyclonepride]

One of my favorite things from the night was the fact that 2nd team defense looked almost exactly like the 1st team defense. That unit is stacked.

Oh, and what a douche move by UNLV to call 2 timeouts in first half down by 3 scores to try and ice the kicker. Really, was that your game winning strategy?

Oh well.

Good in game practice.

My thought is what is that pic of Campbell they kept putting on their graphics? It looked like poorly photoshopped a suit on him and the lighting was super weird.

We needed this game but I think UNLV is the worst team we’ve played in a long time. Louisiana-Monroe a couple years ago was better.

Edit: I’m going to say worst team since Western Illinois in 2012.

Next up,,,Baylor beat up on KU in Lawrence. Big 12 teams looked tough yesterday. UNLV, only soft game this season.

Looked like something from NBA Jam.

Agreed. I thought color announcer could of easily gotten a job from NFL Blitz.

UNLV looked really bad. Baylor game next week is going to tell us a lot about ourselves.

Our defense is rarely going to give up 3 TDs in a game. If we just score 21-24 a game (a not shoot our selves in our own nutsack like vs Iowa), which should be more that feasible, we’ll be fine. Our defense is where we start and those boys are playing like one hell of a brick wall.

 

[Lineup]

My question is why didn't Manning have that game plan for Iowa? or did someone else call the plays

 

[CyBobby]

Does anybody know how many Yards UNLV got last night.....

 

[ISUEmbassy]

Deon Silas is thick! Also, only 5'4.5" and not 5'8" as listed, but dude can play. Super impressed w Vauggn and King as well

 

[CoachHines3]

just finished watching the 4th this morning.

silas is fun to watch.

unlv is very very very bad.

 

[madguy30]

ISU looked decent. UNLV looked like a bad team only getting worse with no morale.

This week is the biggest of the season.

They had 18 at halftime and 102 at the end of 3.

The only concern I had was the level of futility the offensive line had from the one. We just couldn’t gain an easy yard.

My first view of the year and it sure looked like we could wallow them except when we needed to.

It's been said they thought there were 8 to 11 guys who could play.

Let's see them because this level won't cut it.

I legitimately thought Breece ended that safety’s career. How his knee didn’t explode when Breece trucked him around the goal line in the first quarter. They guy was literally bent in half. The color commentators analysis was “Oh my God.”

Not sure I'd go that far although the drop off didn't look too drastic.

The only time UNLV put a drive together was against reserves.

 

[atlantacyclone]

Breece looked like himself on in the first quarter but after that not so much…. The offense needs to be a lot better to beat West Virginia and others….

Ummm there is a VERY stark contrast to Iowa’s defense and UNLVs. That is one of the worst teams we have played in some time, and that includes Kansas.

Kansas/UNLV would be a tossup.
