Offense comes up short and we give UNI the ball back with a chance to score again before halftime, and then they get the ball to start the 2nd half.
SIU defense gets a stop to end the half (but only because UNI took a knee)
I bet Nick wishes he went for it on 4th and goal on the first drive.
Hindsight…I bet he didn’t think his D was going to give up a TD on every drive either haha. I’m sure that will change in the second half…his willingness to go for it on 4th not our D.
Like this UNI QB. Big and extends plays and a big arm. I guess it’s Nic Baker no matter how the game is going. I’m puzzled.
Defense not playing good but no excuse not to match these guys score for score.
As much as I complained, it wasn't that bad of a half. The defense just couldn't get off the field on 3rd down. I know part of it is UNI's offense is just good. Here's hoping they make some mistakes in the 2nd half or this one is going to get away from us and be a really deflating loss.

He’s thrown for 227 and 2 TDs in the first half…surely you aren’t complaining about him with that display the defense put out there.
Their QB was 18 of 20 with a rating of 216.
We never came close to sacking him or even pressuring him. That's the real problem.
Baker's QB rating wasn't bad at 161.
Easy to have high rating throwing screen passes. We can’t win a shootout. Championship teams can. Defense can’t dominate every game.

Didn't throw many screens - averaged 14 yds/reception. He was right on with every pass.
South Dakota down 17-45 at Youngstown late in the 4th.
Maybe last week was a bigger red flag than any of us thought.
We had 15 yards rushing!!!!

No one is asking the D to dominate…get one stop maybe? Is that too much to ask? He’s been off on a couple throws where he was throwing on the run, aside from that he’s been very good.
Bama 69 SIU 52 with 4 mins left - they've made like 2 of 18 threes - killing us on the boards. Haven't heard Hornecker mentioned.
We can't shoot. Jones is playing some - back from concussion.

Offense hasn't really been the problem. Defense didn't get one stop that entire half. Offense has done enough to win.
