I'm not going to over-react to a bad first half. I'm focusing on the fact that we have 3 guys wearing number 7 and all play - Rivera, Pettway and Bixham. (Bixham so far seems like the worst tackler of the 3, unfortunately).

Here's the thing though..... we're conservative when we should be aggresive and we're aggresive when we should be conservative so far. You couldn't call a worse game so far.

For example, we should have been conservative on 3rd and 1 and ran the flippin' ball. And then on 4th and 1 we should have been conservative again and ran the ball.

Earlier in the game we also threw on 3rd and 1, and Jones dropped the pass. We should have ran there too probably.

Going into this season I was VERY concerned about the offense. It's never been good since CMC has been here. It wasn't good when Manning was here before, and so far it still isn't. We've been ranked near 100th in the country in Total Offense over the years. It's just pathetic.

Dumb penalties l, dropped balls, and some really weird 4th down calls are killing the offense. I guess the concerning part is we aren't dominant enough over an FCS team to overcome that.

As bad as the offense was, what makes you think from that first half that UNI is going to put up a TD to start the second half?

I don't think they will score a TD to start the 2nd half, but you never know. All it takes is one missed assignment, and it's 7-3 UNI.

I have never liked our offense under CMC, so I don't know why I was realistically expecting something different this season? It's terrible....... again.
