Which young players did you enjoy seeing the most? I thought Hunter #40 looked jacked up and Campbell seemed to greet him with high enthusiasm coming off field. Tyler Miller played ok in spot minutes as well.
UNLV Game Thoughts
- Thread starter cyclone1209
- Start date
This was the best game I can remember for Joe Scates. He got open, was strong with the ball and made yards after the catch. Hopefully, he can continue this. Purdy having another weapon to trust would definitely make the offense more difficult to stop. Good game Joe!
Not sure I agree with this. I thought the backup DBs looked good, but I was less than impressed with the DL and LB. Bailey looked good, but he's a senior. The second unit looked like they were running around with their heads cut off, but that's probably to be expected.
It is to be expected. They all played at the same time. Haha
If they were to sub in on a normal rotation, there would be starters around them making their lives a whole lot easier.
OU runs the RB out of the backfield for a dump off pass at the goal that has worked against us. Used same play to score easy TD against Neb.
We used a similar action last season when Akers finally got his TD. Brought him in motion, faked to the RB, and hit him on the outside. It's almost impossible for a defense to stop because they have to sell out on the run. We've seen Iowa leak the FB and TE in these situations for decades. It should be in every team's playbook.
Good point.
At times we are good at these nuances, but I think the nuance escapes us at times, particularly when we’re trying to get bully ball rolling to 5mph. But it’s perfect for Purdy’s arm.
I wonder if Sanders can be used in that Akers motion role to get him on the field more. Silas looked to have “it”, given still coming back from an ankle injury, but we’ll have to see it against a real defense
Actually not all that concerned about the time and score. This team isn't explosive offensively. Their MO is being effecient and TOP. Moving the ball methodically that end up in scores or changing the field is what the offense needs to do. With this defense 2 TD leads should be game over.
I'm thinking UNLV might be the worst Division 1 football team I've ever seen.
Replay officials know now more then each other. That would have been targeting in any other game. Just like all the holding calls against UNLV got called this game but didn't vs Iowa. Guess these officials know more than the ones in the Iowa game.
Very clear you don't know targeting rules and interpretation of such rules. Again, please tell me why the targeting was rejected.
I know the same hit would have called targeting in other games. Why do think officials are infallible?
Really - didn't know that. You mean u can't have three turnovers in side your twenty and win a game? Thanks for informing this board of such happening.
You mad that I don't agree with you? Why do you care that I have a different opinion?
Bringing them wasn't the issue; Baylor wouldn't allow them because we didn't say "pretty please" in advance.
Good answer - u said it was an opinion. How u stated them was reflective a fact....."I know, etc."
UNLV is not the best division one football team. But we made them look a lot worse than they are. Give the team some credit folks. Enjoy a victory….do some c0ck push-ups…..it’s a beautiful day.
I loved a bunch of reserves got time. Seems with all of our close games don't get beyond the 2s much. They put in a lot of work in practice so great their family can see them on tv, etc.
