As long as you aren’t sandbagging. We all know UCO has no shot in this one. We’re just hoping to score a TD and not get shutout in front of the home fans! Glad you like our punter though!Cal U (Pa.) Class of 2014

That might have been the ultimate "sandbagging" moment on the MIAA forums. UCO's upset win is making me wonder if Northwest is slipping or if the gap is narrowing (Pitt State, UNK) atop the standings (though it's been a few years since I've really been paying attention to D2 football, admittedly).Roll Chos!

In and among everything above (and I’d argue our QB recruiting has gone downhill as well), there is one thing that we haven’t done very much from the Mel (and even AD) days, and that is keep our redshirts as redshirts. In recent years, how many times have we redshirted players only to pull it just as quickly? Is this something that is hurting our player development over the long term?

Not sandbagging. Anyone that tells you they saw that upset coming is lying. I would definitely agree the gap is narrowing. NW isn’t the unbeatable beast they used to be. In fact, they haven’t won in Edmond since 2016 now.

I remember the QB being kind of a statue, and having a rough go of it.

He was a drop-back passer who didn’t impress during the previous seasons, not very mobile, and not very quick with his reads. It didn’t help that the QB2 at the time, Baker, wasn’t deemed accurate enough to step up, and Randy Schmidt, who was probably a better QB than either one of them, got injured early on. After Zimmerman, we really had no one in development and our first recruited QB post-AD was Braden Wright, which should tell you something.

Braden Wright at the time was thought to be a pretty good get... he was redshirted and won the MIAA Freshman of the Year Award. Maybe Rich Wright, or Charlie Flohr, or somebody else does warrant some criticism for either his lack of development, or regression if you feel that way about him, or maybe just the way that they chose to use him... he was never going to be a pure pocket passer. I don't know, but I think most Bearcat fans were pretty excited about Braden Wright at one point. But yes, the first RW season, we definitely had a big drop off in talent at the QB spot, but it felt like we had what was going to be our answer for the next 4 years after that... it just hasn't maybe worked out quite the way we had hoped. When a kid wins the job and is that successful his freshman year, you're almost stuck with him whether it's good or bad the rest of the way through. I mean that's a tough decision to move to someone else, especially when the team is 19-3 in conference play after 2 years with 2 conference championships. It definitely wasn't as pretty or as dominating as it was under Adams or Zimmerman, but it was hardly a failure.

recruiting has slipped but that isn’t news. qb play has been a focal point but the truth is it’s slipped all over the place on both sides of the ball. obv not as much on the defensive side and there are also obv good players in the program but it is worth mentioning. a run like we had is absurdly unsustainable but the disappointing thing is that the team was not ready to play and frankly looked disinterested and it’s not the first time it’s happened with this regime. idk what the answer is i would have expected rich wright to have fig’d it out by now tbh but something is amiss process wise week to week. losses happen, i’m not lamenting that necessarily but rather the effort. it is impossible to have your “a” game every week but 5 turnovers is unacceptable. to say we were sloppy is the height of understatement. the penalties bc of the offenses struggles were crippling when they occurred.Last edited by northwest missouri state; 09-27-2022, 08:41 AM.Go Bearcats!

After those two possessions, Hohensee seemed to be in hyper drive and couldn't settle down. i think you guys had 4 or 5 fumbles and lost 3 of them? he's rolling out and throwing across his body into double coverage etc. i don't know i didn't think it was all his fault. he WAS making plays just didn't have enough help around him at times. hell, what do i know, we have offensive problems of our own.
