I'm sure Wolf spent the half time break telling the players what w***** their mothers are to shore things up.  No adjustments, just tell them they are a bunch of p****** and how soft they are.  It has worked for him for the last 2 1/2 yrs.

When the offense stinks up the show, the defense stinks up the show, and special teams suck, who do you need to bench?

They can cover our receivers while pressuring the QB!  Ther's a novel approach!

Is this the team that can't pass?  That's what I heard yesterday.  Maybe they do struggle against a good pass defense, or when you can get pressure on their QB.  Hess under pressure again  getting rid of it again.  4th week in a row.  Now a pick while throwing under duress.

  Radio just stated 90% of the SDSU roster, is from S.D. N.D. Neb. Min. Iowa.  The local/regional area.  I don't thing you can overstate the importance of haveing players that want to be at your school.  Even if it's there second choice, you get a higher level of committment that when it's their last or only choice.

We couldn't even generate a respectable amount of noise at the end of the NIU game.  The team needed us, and the crowd was lethargic.  Maybe more local players would attract fans rather than partiers.  This town doesn't deserve the team it has, let alone the team it wants or expects.  There were plenty of times dating back to the Tressel era that they were not a force at the games.  Sad.

   The coaching staff is responsible for the half time adjustments.  This should be happening on Sunday prior to gameday.  As professionals, they should be able to prepare a team for numerous wrinkles that an opposing defense may throw at them.  They should also have numerous defensive adjustments to work on throughout the week.  It looks as though they have the attitude/ego that says 'They can't stop us".  How many games have been lost with sizeable halftime leads the last 3 years?  How many points have been given up in the first and last 5 minutes of the second half?  Lou Holtz talkis consstantly about hthe first 3 minutes of the second half being the most important of the game.  YSU gets their teeth kicked in at both of these times.

   I don't believe we can win at SDSU.  I hope I am wrong, but I also know what the team will be facing up in Brookings.  They are a team of badass tough, mostly South Dakota kids that play very good football.  They play with intensity, and physicality that any team would be proud of.  As a side note, and this is just speculation on my part, they are mostly kids that knew where Brookings was, and who SDSU was before they were run off from other programs.  They wanted to be Jackrabbits!  Their fans are rabbid.  Pun intended.   Their coaches are sharp to say the least.  Long travel time, with a time change, and another long drive from Sioux Falls to Brookings doesn't help either.  The Fargo, and UNI domes may be tougher places to play, but Brookings has to be third.  Add a great passing game that still has a running attack to play power football, and you have a tough test.  Their defense is hostile, and physical, and do pretty good against the pass.  I think the thread needs to be "Can we run the table?"  I have a lot of respect for the program they have up there.  I have attended a game there, and you walk away from there envious of how complete the peices are for a program with lofty goals.  It is apparent everywhere.

    Two weeks ago Wolf said after the game, that we have to get different guys on the field.  He went on to say keeping same guys in the same spots has been the problem.  In 3 years that he has been here, the coaching staff makee up most of the guys that have been in the same positions.  Where are all these big time recruits?  What has he turned around?  In 3 seasons, he has yet to match the winning percentage .545 of Heacock, in the season that we ran him out of town.  This staff did not inherit a losing team.  It was technically a winning team, abeit marginally.  They turned things around by going the wrong way.  The adjustments are nonexistent at half time.  The adaptation to the opposing teams adjustments are nonexistent.  Hess is a proven commodity!  The line hasn't been able to protect him in the second half the last few weeks.  OSU wins national championship with Krenzel as a junior.  Senior year after entire O-line is drafted, Krenzel looks horrible, gets injured, fans say he sucks.  Sound familiar?  They have had enough talent to win 58 minutes of numerous games the last 3 years, only to lose in last 2minutes.  The same players were on the field for the entire game.  They are out coached!  If you need much greater talent than the opponents in order to win, you are not a good coach, let alone a coach that will win a championship.
