GDT: SHSU vs EWU

[IBleedYellow]

Well boys, it's been a good off-season. You all showed a lot of heart out there. Way to make it be not nearly as bad as it could have been. Between the babbling of some posters that we all think of as trolls, to the great heartfelt donating to FPC's 24 hours of booty (PS, Go donate NOW!), we made it.

Today.

It's GAMEDAY.


SHSU vs EWU 3:30 EDT/2:30 CDT - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/ncf/conversation?id=400548974)

Let's keep the gameday talks in here.

[No_Skill]

I must be living under a rock since I didn't realize this was today. It's supposed to rain all day here, so will help pass the time.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

SCREEEEE! SCREEEEEEE!!!

GO EAGS! FTBKs!

[Red & Black]

Let's do this thing.

SHSU looking better than EWU in the early going.

Should have been a TD if the EWU receiver hand not dropped the ball.

SHSU needs to do a LOT better job of keeping VA in the pocket.

SHSU has a ton of missed tackles

So far haven't seen that much defense. Hoping for a defensive struggle, but I doubt we'll get that.

[Bisonator]

3 & out for SHSU.

[Bisonator]

SHSU secondary imploding already with penalties.

EWU #1 has stone hands. 2 long drops by him already.

[centennial]

I HATE when they say that transfers are the reason for us beating the FBS teams. Usual ESPN rhetoric.

[dewey]

If only SHSU could keep VA in the pocket.

I wish the announcers would realize that EWU lost in last year's semfinals not the quarterfinals. They just said two straight quarterfinal losses. Do some research for F's sake!

My very early impressions

Adams seems to struggle on deep balls with not overthrowing his WR. I think I remember hearing that last season as well. Missing long is typically better than missing short, I realize.

SHSU either has a stout defense or EWU's protection is pretty bad.

SHSU offense doesn't look great...then again it's not really because of EWU's defense. They just look like a team replacing a bunch of key players in a new system. Talent looks decent but not on the same page.


Looks like the same EWU as last season. Probably going to have a very good offense, defense will be what costs them a title (should that happen)

[dewey]

Good job blocking for SHSU. Good run by Hill.

Dewey

[BisonFan02]

More slop....yikes.

[Bisonator]

WOW Adams throws a pick 6.

[centennial]

Pick six!

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Adams is struggling

[Bisonator]

Just like that it's 14-7 SHSU.

[Drblankstare]

Sam Houston was all over that screen

[bobcathpdevil56]

Poor choice to throw that one Vernon

[dewey]

Nice pick 6 on the screen play. Big play by Orr! VA needs to make that tackle.

Dewey

[centennial]

Adams is struggling
This. Adams is really important to EWU offense. If he doesn't do well, EWU will struggle.

[BisonFan02]

These guys can stop talking about FBS playoffs any time now....8 is too many! 6 is just right xlolx

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Once again, during a FCS game the ESPN people can't stop talking about the FBS playoff like they invented it.

I can't believe you are just figuring out that ESPN has ALWAYS regarded FCS as just a filler while waiting for the "real thing." And that's how the overwhelming majority of their audience sees it, too. We all like to feel like the center of the universe, especially when we're at or near the top, as NDSU is currently. But most agree with my friend who said, "I don't watch minor league football." We do, and love it, but get over it.

just seems like if you're going to put a product on your TV channel you should try to boost it up instead of talking over it like it isn't even happening.

Not a great half of football by either team but it sure beats talking about next years game with U know who!

[UNI Pike]

Don't know about either QB's accuracy past 15-20 yards out. Could be the receivers are all jacking it up, but all the throws have seemed long. EWU's run defense better find those 5 players that are on the sideline each run play.

[clenz]

UNI fans, and maybe a decent number of MVFC, can back me up on this one...


Watching this SHSU QB try to throw is like watching Terrell Rennie from a couple seasons ago at UNI. Decent inside of 10 yards, spotty 11-17 and anything over that is just a "hold my beer and watch this" moment.

Sadly, I think Rennie was actually better than this guy.

He didnt miss many of those throws against the Bobcats last year.

I will say that the EWU O-line looks to be keeping the QB protected. QB is helping by getting rid of the ball in 2-3 seconds, usually. SHSU seems to need another 1-2 weeks to gel.

[clenz]

And Coop is the only EWU that has hands for hands....and not freaking rocks

When Adams does put it on target it's dropped.

the hit was inbounds, he had just happened to step on the sideline a second before. I thought it was a good no-call. if the ballcarrier is going to continue running down the field, they should expect a possible hit, even shortly after the whistle.

Sheesh, defenses. Do your jobs!

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Adams might want to leave the ****ty dark visors in the locker room or save em' for some posters.

[UNI Pike]

SHSU penalties closing in on first downs. Uugh

[bobcathpdevil56]

Huge block. Wow great blitz pickup

[Red & Black]

Great block!

whelp, that should do it....

Replay shows a nice hold on the TD pass, too ;)

[Bisonator]

Wow another TD for EWU.

35-49 now what was the O/U on this game?

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Yup, leave that stupid dark visor in the trash can.

[Texas]

Bad game on both sides for both teams. A lot of promise for the future and hopefully just in time for SLC play.

Welp, I would say I'm not worried about EWU with that defense.

SHSU could be good and has potential if they start to play better as a unit.

Yeah. My only issue with that one is, if it's some sort of rule, tell him to take it off at some point during the previous three quarters. Not when we're on the 5YL driving into the endzone. Good thing our backup is pretty darn good himself.

Hey I've watched the guy for three years and he is the real deal whether you feel like taking some shots or not you wouldn't feel safe with a 14 or 21 pt. lead and him coming back on the field in the 4th qtr.

I was just saying that he's thrown darts since he took that thing off.

I've seen a lot of commentary in this thread about the play and the level of these teams abilities and so forth. Dumbass talk if you ask me. We are all gonna see some of this from our own teams next week just like everyone always does in first games.

Those aren't two great D's by any means at this point but they are two good teams that will get better and their D's may as well.

Yes, it's the same sort of thing said in 2010.

With your team from the last three years you'd have a leg to stand on. As of yet I'm not sure you do.

I don't don't disagree with you on our defense. That said, SHSU is a very athletic, if not incredibly undisciplined team. Most FCS teams won't be as athletic as them.

On another note, we hang 49 points on Sam's defense...even in by what was a horrible effort on offense (by our standards)...and you think our defense is worse than Sam's?

His antics remind me of Johnny Manziel. UNI has had a couple players like that...hated them doing it too. Call them out on it WAY more than Vernie Football

It happens when it happens. Sure it should have been caught earlier but it shouldn't have been on in the first place so that part goes on him and the equipment manager who should have knew better.

My comment was just about him being more accurate with it off...even though it probably had little to do with it.

Well, all I will say is that you may want to see what your team looks like before you make that kind of assessment. If people think their teams are not going to have some 1st game gaffes, they're in for a surprise.

meh, he acted a little out of character with the one route missed etc. but the rest just looks like pretty normal stuff to me.

Baldwin could have shown a little better there though with that last TD'r.

Not worried. Looked good. Stay classy EWU I guess when you've never won you need a explemation point.

Bull****. In the 2012 playoffs, it was everything you could do to keep us from winning that game. Last year, your coach continued to keep the peddle down even with the game well in hand. Heck, you still had your starters in when the game was well at hand.

Sorry but to me that's what EWU's defense looked like in the playoffs last year so I'm not sure I'd expect improvement. We'll see though, I think if SHSU would have ran the ball more in the first half rather then try all those long passes it could have went the other way.

Congrats to EWU on the win today.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Completely agree, there is much potential out there on both sides for improvement and it doesn't seem to me like it's too far out of hand to catch stride on both teams after about game 5 we will be seeing some very good football from both teams.

Do they take a knee in the last minute?

Nope.

EWU 56-35 with 31 seconds to go.


Reminds me of my favorite Bobby Hauck quote when Griz fans were complaining about the opposing coach running up the score: "It's not his job to stop them, it's ours!

[bonarae]

Game over.

EWU 56, SHSU 35

[SFA 93]

Congrates EWU!

Very Entertaining

[Sammy94]

Congrats EWU not sure why we abandoned the run but like what I saw. Better work on the defense if you want to compete for a NC.

Which will matter next time EWU plays Georgia Southern.

Still, congrats. A win is a win and nothing changes that.

Don't disagree. I think the talent is there, but lots of work to be done. Defense was poor. Offense totally out of synch in the first half. I thought SHSU was an incredibly athletic team. You will be really good with a few more games under your belts.

You can tell it was the first game for both teams, but with more time I see both teams being a force this year. Good luck to both teams the rest of the season.

I ask not being insulting but for information . Are both offenses that good or is there defensive issues? Or us it the first game and I should just wait and see.
