Good coaches find them and give them an opportunity to thrive. Our defense is pathetic. Even Wyoming could push them around and USF had a field day. Make personnel changes now!!!!!!! I would also make some changes on the offensive line. 70!looked like he was overmatched. He didn't appear to have a good game against Wyoming either. But I haven't seen any tape. I'll look at the USF game later.

what changes would you make what playmakers are you talking about not being used ???

what changes who are the playmakers we are not utilizing ???????

Tackles are a really awful way to evaluate a DB.

A little history FWIW. In 1967 SDSU was scheduled to be the Homecoming game (10-21-1967.) A look at their team (#1 College Division-small college--as were we then) they switched it to Hillsdale College. Good move. SDSU, with Haven Moses and Fred Dryer-future Pro Bowlers, beat us 47-6. It was not that close. And we barely beat Hillsdale. Dryer ran our QB out of the south end zone practically to the apartments across the street.

We went to their walk-through Friday night, and we knew then we were in trouble.

Closest loss to SDSU--40-21 at SD in 1971.

I believe if NIU drops this game its first six game losing streak since late 1998-early 1999

Does anyone know if The Yard and live band are still a thing for home games? It's less than a week until the home opener and I have seen pretty much zero marketing or information for the game.

Something is going on internally at NIU athletics. I have no idea what it is, but there is complete disarray and lack of information, customer service right now.

Right now? Isn't that how it usually is?

Gents, Aztec Fan here. I was planning on going to the game, but had to bail. Disappointed, but I'll be at a bar watching on the beach instead.

Anyway, I had this game circled on our schedule as the toughest game we play all year. We struggle when we fly to the east, and I have always respected the NIU program. However, after seeing the USF score, I was wondering what is going on with the Huskies?

Our head coach has lost the team. Rumors and truths afoot about players walking out on our head coach. NIU has been trending downward since our head coach took over but we appear to be on pace for a hard crash and burn with this season. Hopefully this will result in a coaching change otherwise we'll have to endure more of this as our coach is contracted until 2019.

San Diego State is finally relevant again

Coach Rocky Long’s Aztecs won 11 games and a Mountain West championship last year, but the program’s 12th straight win marked its national coming-out party. Long’s team took down Pac-12 foe Cal, 45-40, to end an eight-game losing streak to Power 5 opponents. Star RB Donnel Pumphrey went for a career-high 281 yards on a night when he broke Marshall Faulk’s school career rushing record (4,651), and All-American CB Damontae Kazee sealed the game with his 11th career interception.

Houston is considered the head-and-shoulders favorite to secure the Group of 5 New Year’s Six berth (if not a playoff invite), but the Aztecs will be in contention as well. They and Boise State seem destined for an MWC title game clash.

Season saver Saturday!

I kid, I kid.

Have to wonder right now if the national perception of the past 14 years is giving NIU a little too much respect. The line vs SDSU is only 10.5, with NIU starting its backup QB.

Fanhood is correct, we play to the level of our competition (up or down see S.Alabama last year for reference).

I will be there with 14 other Morons in tow. Stock up Fatties!

Seems to be especially screwed up this year, I know they had staff turnover but this is ridiculous!!!
