[September 17, 2011] Indiana State (1-1) at Western Kentucky (0-2)

Is it possible that our "D" was caught looking past Butler to the WKU game? I started wondering that when they came out and totally dominated the third quarter. Just a thought...

I don't think it was the "D" as much as it was a very good Butler passing attack and some coaching adjustments that came at half-time. Against an offense like Butler's you really have to play tight and bump the wideouts to throw their timing off. Otherwise they'll just pick you apart with short timing patterns. Good adjustment at half by coaching staff. WKU doesn't throw the ball as effectively as Butler, we just need to be as physical as we were at PennState and I think we'll be good for a "W"!

I think we need to play the opposite game plan this week. None of these wideouts scare me and their qb is pretty much a game manager.
Play off and squeeze their interior running lanes by bringing up our lbs

WKU has an outstanding tail back. It will be a completely different scheme for the D I would imagine.

We need to keep him bottled on the entire part of the scrimmage. This guy is absolutely dangerous outside the tackles.

Our D still has to prove itself to me....I didn't think they were very physical at penn state...d line was looking in the backfield instead doing their assignments...and getting driven off of the ball...I don't care who you play if you are 6'3 300 lb senior lineman...you should never get driven off the ball unless maybe you are double teamed...you should be just as strong as anybody if you have hit the weights right for four years...and butler...I don't care how good their passing game is...they ran the ball and moved it at will....if our d overlooked them then that should have only lasted maybe a quarter...not a half...butler should have never put up that many points....we did some good things on D at penn state but not enough for me to feel good about...and butler made me feel worse....good adjustment at the half by the coaches...I think that last scrimmage made us feel good about the d...other than that...I haven't seen game action by them to make me feel they are solid...The O did what they should against butler....they could have put more points on the board....

I will not be able to see the game tomorrow as I will be driving up to the Indiana State Field Campus in Brazil for an fraternity event. Will someone be sure to do play-by-play in the thread so I can read it when I get back? I would be very appreciative!

[goindystate]

almost gametime, please no TD for WKU on the opening kickoff!

 

[Callmedoc]

As you can see, I am kinda busy right now, anyone want to take over the play by play duties for the moment?

Yeah a little busy.

Cheeseborough brings it out foolishly, despite Riston advising him not to, and gets dropped and injured at the 14. Not a good way to start.

 

[bent20]

Calling for an ambulance for Cheeseborough. Driving it onto the field. Yikes.

This sounds scary. Wishing the best for George!!!

 

[goindystate]

wow, what another awful start, ambulance on to get Cheesborough

 

[Callmedoc]

wow, what another awful start, ambulance on to get Cheesborough

This goes beyond football. GOD I HOPE THIS KID IS Ok

First down to Spencer. Out to the 26 on third down. Running a hurry up offense.
