This needs to be a really big time practice game for our defense to figure out how to be physical and tackle. They just seem scared to get on the ground and go low on guys. Can't play defense scared of contact.

Hoping this is one of those get right games that has a 10 minute 4th quarter and we can get that fire back. SIU is not a good FCS team.

Practice game. Have to avoid injuries.

Roster that was already thin, getting thinner week by week.

They say the biggest leap is week one to week two. Didn’t see that at all today. Maybe two to three will be better.

We saw it on offense for about the first 33 minutes.

 

[gary?]

i am not being a doomer (or maybe i am, whatever), but this could be our last win. not sure who else we beat with this defense. offense petered out, too.

My checklist moving forward:

Beat SIU
Beat Purdue
Beat Michigan State

After that we figure out what we are for the rest of the season.

They’re ranked 28th in the FCS AP poll after dropping from 25th last week.

Not saying they are gonna even come within 20 in the point spread but to say they’re a bad FCS team is objectively wrong
