Chadron vs. CSU Pueblo

[Packfootball]

CSUP, 6 quick TD's and no sustained scoring drives. Makes a person wonder if they are the real deal. Dixie St. packed the box to tight to stop the run. All CSUP backs had to do was get past the line of scrimmage. Big yards on 6 big plays. Chadron had a good game with BHSU. Should be a good game. CSUP needs to show they can drive the ball and sustain the drive. Would like to see a little more passing. Cut down on the Penalties and fumbles!

Re: Chadron vs. CSU Pueblo

I saw this in another thread. Dixie State packed the box to stop the run and "got caught".

Maybe I'm not as smart about football as I think I am, but to me, packing the box is bringing seven or eight guys in close to the line, to get a numbers advantage at the point of attack. In general, shouldn't "packing the box" prevent big running plays? Even sweeps should be mitigated to some extent if you have an outside linebacker playing contain.

Sounds to me like either Dixie LBs just made horrible defensive reads, or can't tackle, whether they had put eight in the box or five. Didn't watch the game, so I don't know. I've just read like twice by Pueblo fans that "packing the box" was a strategic blunder by Dixie and they might have defended better had they not. I don't see how that's possible.

Put 8 in the box, with no help, and as soon as you get beat with 1 cut there's no help. Pueblo ran from a spread as opposed to 3 TEs which spreads the defense out, when any of their 3 RBs makes 1 guy miss it's a foot race.

Come on Chadron fans. Post something that we can respond too. We know you all had a great win against hapless BHSU, much like our win against Dixie St.

I guess the Chadron faithful are not available for comment on the game.

Will the Eagles pack the box like Dixie St. did to stop our run?

Couldn't tell ya. That is a double edged sword for sure. The run game is the key for sure. Whoever stops the run and is able to run will win the game.

Chadron's punter is having a rough game.

Re: Chadron vs. CSU Pueblo

Honestly, I am tired of Chadron's offensive playcalling, it's gone stale over the years, especially against quality competition. Zero innovation.

4 punts for an average of 23 yards is the difference thus far, Pueblo leads 7-0 at the end of the 1st.
