[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 820322, member: 857"] Thoughts on defense: Credit NIU for coming up with some creative packages we’d never seen and that worked really well. Credit them also for deciding they had to be able to run the ball and committing to it. Wish we had done so ourselves. I credit us with adjusting to their run game and stopping it in the second half. Lombardi was accurate and burned us on a few plays that were well-covered to their star receiver who made some ridiculous catches. The final defensive series was a debacle. I am not sure how their guys got so wide open when we were dropping so many people. We absolutely failed to get any pressure whatsoever and seemed content to play really soft when there was plenty of time for them to move down the field. It seemed like after we scored the go ahead touchdown we checked out mentally while NIU steeled themselves to go get the win. I like Charlie Thomas, and Wesley Walker played his tail off. I liked seeing the strip that Thacker had talked about in terms of attacking the ball and generating turnovers. I liked that we adjusted and stopped their runs although it took a whole half. I thought in general NIU looked stronger/more physical in their tackling. Excepting Mason who is a beast, Sims who is a beast, and Gibbs early, they were very stingy giving up extra yards. We seemed to let them fight for extra yards much more often, and they were pushing the pile effectively. Had hoped the front seven in general would be more effective. [/QUOTE]
