I feel like the cat is out of the bag now so we might as well treat like a regular game.

Kind of my thought as well. I feel like if we go with this approach, it could turn into a game like Arkansas State was last year. All coaches are paranoid naturally though, so I doubt we see much more than what we saw this past Saturday.
Can we start predicting Tim Brando's silly quips for player names? After a Dom Orange TFL I would love a "Big Citrus delivers a dose of vitamin C!"
Eddie Lemos also moved from safety to corner. I'd love to pick the coach's brains on how what they see in a player to warrant a position change. They certainly seem good at it, at least in the secondary.
Against KSU I thought the defense (except for corner) and receivers/TE rotated well. There was zero rotation on the o-line and Abu and Carson had every carry. I expect more rotation in those two position groups, and maybe more snaps for James at safety. I'm curious whether we will see some younger players worked in at corner with the game still on the line. Williams, Cooper and Bell look like the clear top three but we will likely need a fourth to step up at some point this year.
If your priority is beer for three hours a day, 5-6 times a year, you’re either an alcoholic or an idiot.
I think we don’t show much—and still blow them off the ball, break big runs, and complete big passes.
The basics still work with a qualitative and quantitative advantage.
What they see is that we’re short on corners, with Beni being green and Coffey apparently out. And Ellens a 165 lb true frosh.
Ideally ISU can keep it simple and comfortable while also being to sync things up from the KSU film.
Re above, if Coffey is out (for whatever reason) Beni is still green, and Mason Ellens is a year away, that’s why they slid Eddie Lemos there.
Scrappy and hard working is better than nothing—and he impressed in the Spring.

Just a guess, but it seems like we have the luxury of some great options at safety and Cooper has good coverage skills. Also a nice bonus to have a hard hitting corner in run support.
I’d take the bomb over the top, just pull them out of the box.
And to give the next week’s opponent something to think about.
Yeah, not sure what’s going on, but he suddenly vanished from all conversation and the depth chart—but not on the injury list.
Looking at the USD defensive depth chart, we should be able to attack this team physically for four quarters.. Hopefully it doesn't take two quarters to get the run game going again.
A young starting secondary also looks inviting for a couple deep shots off play action!

Patton winning FS over James is interesting. I thought James played a bit better last week.
