Kickoff in about an hour.
If Morgan gets majority of the snaps BG loses
If Doege gets majority of snaps BG wins
We must run the ball more. Let Clair take over. Keep the defense off the field.

Can't ask for much better weather for kickoff in late October. 75 degrees and a light breeze.

Pass game needs to get going. If NIU is not scared of the BG pass, they will swallow up the run game.

Get Clair open in the screen game. Guyton in the slot and utilize the TE. We don't need to force it 30 yards down the field. 5 yards is just fine. Control the clock. Sustain the drive.

Well is it too early to call this game a loss! That was way too easy.

That looked too easy. NIU pass offense was on target and the runs were getting the job done. And NIU showed some tempo. Defense has their hands full today.

That sweep to Pough was not smart because it was too cute. NIU has size and speed on defense. Don't be cute, just run the base offense.
But that punt ... holy cow special teams!

That was complete b.s. We had the first down. The ref blew the whistle for play and the ball spotter was out of the way!! That was a legal play and we got screwed on that call.

Oh boy, defense overpursued the jet sweep and let the QB run wild again. The QB run is at it again. If the defense improves on anything, it has to be run defense.
