Sometimes, when you cut out a cancer, the entire body responds with great vigor.

Defense went back to the Ron Mendoza system that didn't work 4 years ago because it was too advanced for the players at the time.

No interceptions by pure LUCK. My opinion of RD as a qb is well known....but the kid gets an A for his character and guts.

I'm basing this on studying stats and the gamecast. Our top 4 tacklers are LBs and are leading the charge today. This usually means that the D-Line is eating up blocks. It seems as though it is the old DeLoach classic 4-3 system being executed finally.

Night and Day. Who is this team and what have they done with North Texas? That was a controlled, methodical win. It lacked three things. Flash, foolish penalties and worry.

Back to back timeouts? Running off 20 seconds before a time out? Good husbands and fathers?

I'll take it. GMG!!! #greenclaw

Allowing WKU only 3 points on the 1st two drives was huge. The defense seemed to settle down after that and gain a lot of confidence.

There is a huge difference betrween this week and last.

To somebody who is going to say hold on, get a grip or something because it is Western Kentucky...I say, Yes it is, but a win is a win, just ask these players who have stuck it out the past few years....... and everybody deserves to celebrate this one! Congrats Coach Canales, Coach Deloach, and the entire team! Thank you, you deserve it!

Can anyone tell what changes were made, any adjustments for our game against wKYJelly?

Seems Roberts has been in better position to make plays better than ever before?

Defense used less of the normal hit-and-hold line play and went into attack mode more often than they have in the past. The linebackers covered the middle better, we got lucky a couple of times and the D-Backs covered well. The 1st quarter was still terrible, but we didn't break and spot them 7. On offense Riley got into a very nice rhythm as the game went on, line play was very good and the receiving corp was catching the ball. Most of all, there weren't a lot of stupid mistakes like bad penalties, poor special team play, time management issues and ill advised time outs. Very up-tempo offense, which it seems is what we practiced for the last 2 weeks.

What was FIU's record last week before they beat the tar out of us?

1-5.

With a 4th string walk-on QB starting for us. Big difference. But with you, it is all black and white -- so you won't get it.

Playing a 1-6 team.

That, thus far in SBC play, has losses of 7 and 5 points and a win by 33. They could have easily been 3-0 in conference and had not lost by more than one score.

.... and we beat them - humiliated them- by 27 points. In their house. After the biggest win in their program's history. On their homecoming.

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.
