Do we start slow, or normal and then kick arse?

Posted: 9/9/2012 10:19:31 AM

Interested in thoughts on this from people who know football better than this casual fan. Hard for me to call 21 points in the first half a slow start last night. But, it kind of felt like it. Then we got rolling with some big plays on both sides. Is this just the nature of the beast? Maybe NM State is better than I thought though too.

Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

I thought the start was fine, but NMSU had a lot of fight, and they are a better team than I expected. They were able to hang around awhile, but couldn't maintain that level for 60 minutes, while Ohio just kept coming. I think NMSU will win some games this year, and might end with a bowl.

I think NMSU has improved a lot from when we played them last year. They went to Minn and won the week after we beat them, and wound up with three or four wins, compared to one the previous year. Last week they beat Sac St by 30, and Sac St won at Colorado yesterday so they ain't too shabby.

This Ohio team seems to be one that needs to get a feel for the other team and then make adjustments at halftime. It showed last week with three points vs Penn St in the first half and 21 in the second. In the first two games, they've been outscored 28-24 in the first half, but won the second half 51-10. Plus they've had little to work with in prepping for these two games. Penn St has a new coach and a new system, so until Ohio got on the field against them, they could only guess what Penn St would do. I'm not sure what they might've had from last week's NMSU game, but it seems to be a different team from the one we played last year. They should have better film on the rest of the opponents.

Touchdowns yielded by our defense in the 2nd half after two games?

ZERO

That is a favorable trend. No offense has been close to the endzone either. NMSU's field goal was set up by a bad punt and a really stupid penalty.

a couple of weeks before we beat Utah State 24-23 NMSU lost to them 24-21, USU scored the go ahead touchdown with 35 seconds left in the game. looks like they made good progress last season.

MY STATE. MY TEAM.
