Went to the game and had a few observations about our team:
1.) Our OL is horrendous at pass protection and the OL coach should be fired on the spot. We were giving up sacks left and right and the guy was on the sidelines eating fkn Cornuts or sunflower seeds not paying attention. I won't mention his name out of respect.
2.) Jake Fely has no business playing MLB. Several times the guy took on a block from the G or C and got literally driven back five yards before he could get off the block. We are lucky that we had several other players blitzing/crashing to cover up his transgressions. That the guy didn't gain ANY weight this offseason is really disturbing to me - it's not that difficult.
3.) Our wr's are not as good as advertised. In addition to causing a couple of turnovers and making serveral mental mistakes, they didn't hold their blocks all night long and lacked intensity.
4.) Our DB's were either a.) never shown a wr screen in practice or b.) are not able to shed a block and make a tackle. Either way, that was something in Fresno's film from Tulsa and should have been practiced ad nauseum during the week. That is on the coaching staff.
5.) Our special teams coordinator needs to be fired. He blamed himself for last week's mishaps and this week is no different.
6.) It is readily apparent now that a change needs to be made in the coaching staff. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...
Of course Sterk won't make one because I know him and he is the kind of guy who doesn't have a spine and only will react when things get to an extreme point. So we must endure a season of sub-mediocrity and likely a disasterous year next year.

1. Agreed on the OL....criminally bad, in fact the last couple of series looked like someone was throwing the game intentionally.
2. Fely could be better utilized.
3. they are decent, the routes are uncreative
4. Beyond Mcfadden, our DB's lack quickness. Some of them are poor in coverage, particularly number 6, always seems to be getting burned...and poor Josh Wade is picked on every week.
5. I thought they played ok.
6. horrible management. and just plain stubbornness on Coaching staff to adapt their game plan as the game went on...if its personnel, then Long needs to come out and say it, but he wont, therefore all i can say is, why the hell are you rushing 6 when you cant get pressure anyways.
7. I'll add 7, someone should have taken Katz to the side and settled him down. the guy tried to do too much.

The Oline was fine when Katz wasn't holding onto the ball for 10 seconds and dancing in the pocket into defenders.

On a totally different angle, but my thoughts from the game...
We definitely need our own ON campus football stadium.
No excuse.
It is a good atmosphere they got there in Fresnucky.
It is way overdue that SDSU build for their own.
And judging by FSU's stadium, SDSU can pull off somthing
Much Much better with the space that is needed.

Left tackle got beat like a drum all night long.
No pressure on the QB puts extra pressure on your DBs. They got beat all night long.
That said, if it wasn't for our defensive scores, the final score would have been much much worse.
As for coaching, I've tried to be supportive and give this staff the benefit of the doubt, but man, they are wearing thin on me.

There's room for debate though. Personally, I haven't lost faith in them. But, I don't believe Rocky Long is the answer here long term, and I stand by my take WAY before the season that he should turn over the D to a coordinator, even if it means running a 4-3. |

At a minimun we need a D Coord. Special Teams are not. Agree on the tackle- pffff. |

My impression was that we suck My impression isn't that you suck. My impression is that, when we don't beat ourselves, we've got a pretty good football team. And a good football team will make the opponent look worse than they are. Good luck for the rest of the season. Yoda out... . |

dont be so down... you have a good team and coach. Give him the rest of the season to decide. Last year you made a bowl game although you lost. Good Game! Go DOGS! Thanks to all the SDSU faithful at the game yesterday! It was great having you and your team at our stadium!

we need bigger players! Enough with this quickness crap. Our DL is the size of LB's and our LB's are the size of Safeties. We just get pushed around by big lines.

Our team is not good,it has some good players but it knows how to lose. AS in putting your knee down on the one in a kickoff. Personal fouls to keep drives alive. Penaltys ot amke thies and short third and long. We are 101 in passdefense and 111 in pass efficency defense. The term sucks is rather meaningless and emotional. but that being said our pass defense sucks as in gving up 40 points to North Dakota sucks. You can not have three different coachs in three years as a posiiton coach and not have major problems. That is what killed Tedford,nobody wanted to work for him. This team is one new coaching staff and two years away from being solid. thats when all the oline and dline guys we recruited a have some time nder their belt. Aslo Muema will bea senior and such,provided we have a qb. |

1. good gameday environment. Wish we had our own crib.
2. pass protection is atrocious. not a quig fan. 2nd qtr was tough to watch.
3. PROPS TO BUTLER for running all the way down the sidelines at halftime warmup to recognize those of us fans that made the trip! It was a small gesture but a classy one that would be nice for the team to adopt at every roadie.
4. let's just let seamus do all kicking.
