I wonder what the coaching staff does at halftime??

We did so well in the first half(defending the run, etc).. Then the second half starts and it's the "ole" defense from the last 2 games..

Are we just not making the necessary adjustments?

I just think NIU has built such big leads at home, there is a tendency to lose focus and play softer, its natural.

I don't think so - you might play softer for a series or 2 but once the other team scores 2 straight TDs on you, and without much difficulty, I would think you'd get your focus back.

I also understand if the offense comes out and runs differently then it may take a series for the defense to adjust...We just never seem to make the adjustment.

I thought schiller was unstoppable in the first half..

Though delagalalal was terrible yet again...
