This game should be dubbed the Misery Bowl based on how miserable everyone associated with these teams seems to be right now.Comment

Pitt State 34, UNK 27 (OT)
The offense finally showed some life while the defense melted down after halftime again. Go figure.

It’s interesting - Schaffner has built some crazy good defenses over the years at butler and then he was part of a staff at ISU that struggled majorly. His first year at Kearney in 2023 was a dumpster fire. 2024-2025 - I would’ve told you that the defense wasn’t necessarily the problem.Originally posted by Wallst View Post
He definitely hasn’t captured the elite defense level he had at Butler. Could be the fact Butler was just getting the better athletes back in those days and drove his success.Comment

It's been a bad couple of halves but he's no where near the hot seat at this point. The offense has been the problem much more frequently than the defense in Held's tenure.Originally posted by Wallst View PostComment

I think UNKs defensive weakness or depth issue is against the passing game.Originally posted by loper legionnaire View PostComment

If you go back and look ever since the last game of last year when UCM just tore them apart they haven't been the same unit. It is like the league has figured them out. They have good players up front but no dudes. Their TFL's , sacks and turnovers forced are all way down this season. They have scored two defensive td's but that is it. Last two games in the second half they weren't even close to forcing a punt. Its been brutal.Comment

MoWest 31, UNK 21
Honestly, this game started out exactly as I figured it might, with the Griffons rolling to a 31-7 lead in the third quarter. But credit to the Lopers for battling back and making MoWest sweat it out until late. Although, it did seem like MoWest took their foot off the gas a bit instead of burying the Lopers.
Since Tyler Harris took full control of the play calling duties a couple games ago, the offense seems to have at least shown some signs of life. They even left some points out there with an interception in the end zone and two missed field goals - one that was longer than it should have been after a stupid personal foul and another that was blocked.
True freshmen were standouts for UNK, with Calin Arndt rushing for 139 yards and a TD and Canon Allen catching five passes for 105 yards. However, it was reported that Allen had his arm in a sling after the game, because that's just what happens to UNK this year I guess.
