Rants & Raves: MSU
This seemed to be a tale of two halves… but I sure I liked what I saw in the second half! “3 Matchups to Watch” Review1. Jordan Brown vs. Malik EarlJordan faced another one of the Valley’s top receivers. He shadowed him MOST of the game but MSU tried to take advantage when he didn’t. […]
Game Preview: Missiouri State Univeristy Bears
The Jackrabbits travel to Springfield, Missouri to take on the Missouri State University (MSU) Bears. MSU is a team that has struggled for a long time. However, they always compete hard and seem to have a dangerous receiver or returner every year. The Bears come in to the game with a 1-5 record and are […]
Rants & Raves: UNI
Well… that is certainly not what any of us expected. Rants & Raves will be a bit different this week as we sift through the wreckage. Hopefully I can offer some hope. Rants & Raves Rants: Offensive line (both run and pass blocking), special teams fumbles, missed FG and XP, the rain that ruined a […]
3 Matchups I’m Watching: Univeristy of Northern Iowa
Here we go! As the week has gone along I have become more and more excited for this match-up. When I was a student at SDSU, UNI had our number every season. UNI quarterback, Pat Grace, seemed to have the Jackrabbit’s number every game. However, the tables have turned with SDSU winning 3 of the […]
Game Preview: University of Northern Iowa
The Jacks (4-1 and 1-1) enter week 3 of MVFC play coming off a big win over the Salukis of Southern Illinois. This week is Hobo Week and Saturday is capped by the 105th Hobo Day with the Jacks taking on the University of Northern Iowa Panthers (2-3 and 1-1). UNI is always dangerous. They […]
3 Matchups I’m Watching: Southern Illinois University
Last week my matchups mostly focused on the Jacks offense versus the YSU defense. The YSU defense lived up to their reputation. However, I didn’t envision that the Jackrabbit defense would get steamrolled by the YSU ground game. This week we are flipping the script and 2 of the 3 matchups will focus on the […]
Game Preview: Southern Illinois Salukis
The Jackrabbits (3-1) are set to face the Southern Illinois Salukis (2-2) in their second game of the MVFC conference season. Last year the Jacks and Salukis put on an impressive offensive display with over 1,000 yards of total offense in the Jacks 45-39 win. Both teams are coming off tough opening losses. SDSU fell […]
Rants & Raves: YSU
I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. I’m certainly not mad about the result, but I am disapointed. This game felt and looked like the mirror image of the playoff loss to NDSU last year. I’m sure the team will move forward and be okay, but there aren’t a ton of positives to take […]
C-Day: Building the 2018 Class
When most people think back to the best team that they were a part of, they might remember a pivotal moment in a big game, they might recall the feeling they got when they raised a trophy, or they could think back to the hours of hard work in practice. However, the thing that nearly […]
Potential for Impact: Top 5 Freshmen Who Could Contribute in 2017
The recruiting class of 2017 was heralded back in February as one of the best in the history of Jackrabbit football. However, we all know that games aren’t won on signing day. It takes work in the weight room, in practice, and in the classroom in order to reach success. The true test to see […]
