Ricky Rahne was a John Donovan protege..... before he was a Moorhead understudy
Remember....

Again a stupid post. He’s been fine
Huge drive there
It’s been the defense and special teams

Defense played soft throughout much of the game. Two guys blitzing leaving the WR wide open on the first fourth quarter TD showed the inexperience. Also, special teams need to improve. Anyone could see the onside kick coming. Good run back by Hamler helped McSorley Ice take control and score late.
We’ll see how things change between this week and next.

Rahne was the least of our problems. There were some bad play calls, but Morehead had bad play calls.
Receivers didn't play well, oline didn't play well, Trace didn't play well. Defense really didn't play well.

almost all of it was inconsistencies....play well for a couple downs and then let up or miss a tackle or a block for a down
Yeah it's like JM had all the answers at all the time. Do you want me to post the videos??
Coming into this game we knew App State had a tremendous secondary. This was a very good litmus test for the receivers and Trace early in the season. We may only see 4 secondaries better than this one all year.
In the first half we had two key drops by Johnson, both would have given us first downs on Third downs.
His swing passes and pitch wide calls cost us yards (Thompkins missed a block on one of them), he needs to really need to rethink those next week.
We kicked a FG on our last real drive of the first half, followed by TDs on our first three possessions of the second half, Rahne was fine, room for improvement sure....

38 points in regulation.
Considering our d couldn't get off the field in the 4th quarter.....that's a good output.
I am way more worried about the defense.
Rahne is the least of our concerns.
It may have been a little vanilla, but I didn't think it was that bad. It was more poor execution than poor playcalling. They still scored 45 points with a mediocre OL performance.
Defense is a much bigger concern right now.

What are you talking about? Play calling was fine. Johnson had multiple drops that were drive killers. Right now, the defense is THE problem. Givens absence was noticeable and once again absence of a pass rush and poor tackling are hurting this defrnse. The APP State QB is money. That kid hurt our D all night passing and running.
We don’t have the big play capability we had last year, so the offense is going to have to be more methodical....which means I doubt we score as much we did last year.
Your thoughts on a 1 yard pass to Miles inbounds on 2nd and 3 with Penn State down a TD with ~1:30 left? That one had me scratching my head. Maybe it was poorly thrown and Sanders could have gotten out of bounds otherwise? Regardless, I would have been more comfortable with virtually ANY pass that was beyond the first down sticks. That call had very little up-side.
what is weird is that the defense played really well for 3/4 of the game also
Do you actually believe that was the play called? The QB has several options on any play. That was his choice.
