Sophomore Jordan West. Won't be as mobile but he's the kid who came in ice cold and threw a corner route for a TD in the third quarter of the SHSU game when VA had a helmet malfunction.

Next man up? I imagine you guys recruit QBs to fill the pipeline for Baldwin's system? List the last EWU QBs in order and their stats.

Edit: In addition, I look at the QB position for EWU the same way I look at the RB position for NDSU. You guys should be able to reload in this position....might not be AS easy obviously, but I would be surprised to see a huge drop off in production.

Dunno, two broken bones. If it were just stress fractures I might agree, but it doesn't sound like it. The team (and fans) probably need to be prepared to make due without him for the rest of the season. Maybe he makes it back for playoffs, if we make it.

I agree with what you're saying to an extent, and I think West will do just fine. That said, Adams isn't the kind of player that you can really replace. The offense will be quite a bit different without Adams...it's the dual threat ability that makes him so hard to defend.

[NDSUSR]

Im out of the loop. How did this happen?

[tomq04]

I think the only break we have is that our next 3 games are Southern utah, northern Colorado followed by north dakota...pretty good learning curve as far as defenses go.

I got that part, but all I see online is that he rolled his ankle. I am not sure how that results in 2 broken metatarsals.

Might be a closer game game then people think. Our defense is playing great football, if we can score on your defense it could go either way.

I agree with this. I haven't seen any D be very effective at consistently stopping EWU with VA at the helm. But this could present an extraordinary challenge to West. Thankfully, that will be his fourth game, so he should improve over time. That being said, I think he's looked pretty good when I've seen him play.

You probably shouldn't be voting then. If EWU drops a game, then by all means. But EWU hasn't even played a game with West at the helm, and our next few games are against much inferior opponents.

How does that make sense to you?

Either he is a huge part of your success and if out it's real possible EWU is not as good right now as they were one week ago at this time

OR

EWU moves along without skipping a beat in which case he is not all that valuable in that sense.

I don't know which one is true. I did drop EWU a couple spots in my poll as I think you are better with him than without him. Without him there were a couple of teams right on your heels that I would now consider slightly better. I could be wrong but I'll trust myself on this one.

Bingo. You can't talk up a player like he's the second coming for two years and then act like it's no big deal that you're going to be without him for at least a few weeks. They'll still be a very good team offensively, but unless that D has a miraculous turnaround, there could be some rough seas ahead.

In all honesty their D only has to get a little bit better to probably cover up for the drop off of the new guy for a while here.

What's crazy (if it hasn't been state yet) is that VA is on pace of 200 TD's and 20,000 yards passing for his career. Unreal

I hope you're right, but I guess we'll see. The running game is going to need to be good to help along an inexperienced QB while he gains confidence. Jordan West doesn't need to be VA, but he does need to be able to make those difficult throws that our offense often relies on. That said, he could be the next coming of Matt Nichols or Bo Levi, but even those guys were shaky their first few games. Still, he will be surrounded by a lot of talent on that side of the ball. A good, offensive line, capable backs (hopefully we get Forte back the next couple weeks), and in my opinion the best WR corps in the FCS, even without Cory Mitchell. I think if we can find a way to win 4 of the next 6 without VA that'll be good enough to get us back into the playoffs, and then once you're there anything's possible. I personally don't expect to see him until towards the end of the season. Looking at metatarsal fractures, it's more of a 4-8 weeks thing, depending on how much the bones are separated. If we get him back by the Montana game, I think it will be a pleasant surprise, but even then I don't think this is the kind of thing you rush a guy back from, especially if West is really doing well.

It is a big deal, but not the end of the world. Baldwin is a QB guy...the offense will be different without VA, but still good.

And according to most Montana fans, it's not VA anyway...it's all the receivers. xlolx If West just needs to be able to throw some "jump balls", I like our chances!

You can't say the guy isn't very good for 2 years and then say we're not going to be very good without him. xthumbsupx

Honest question for EWU fans. If VA is out for 6ish games...and West is at the helm for a 6-0 run with good/great stats, do you rock the boat and bring VA back for the opening game/2nd round matchup in the postseason?

[REALBird]

Tough break for VA. Hope he heals up soon and best wishes to the kid. Every competitor should want to beat the best players, not their replacements. But you lace 'em up vs. whoever is available. Hope EWU doesn't miss a beat.

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Only an NDSU homer would think there is...:rolleyes:

It's quite simple.

EWU has an average margin of victory of 16.
NDSU has an average margin of victory of 22.8.

Even if you think those numbers are close (they're not) you have to account for the average points scored against.

EWU 32.4
NDSU 8.2

So if you take the average margin of victory for EWU, you will see that opponents are scoring 203% that amount. NDSU's opponents are scoring about 36% of their average margin of victory.

I hope that wasn't too much math for you.

If you tools have to talk about Adams then talk about whats really going on. He didnt break his foot, he is dodging the Griz and trying to make it none to obvious. He wants no part of what is coming his way and "goallined it" the way he did against Towson in the playoffs last year.

They need 3 maybe 4 more losses to miss the playoffs. Their opponents to finish the season have a combined 13-20 record. Eastern struggles on defense but no one on their remaining schedule can even put up a comparable offense to most of the D1 teams they've played thus far, with the exception being UC-Davis. Quincy Forte is a very underrated running back and they still have arguably the best receiving corps in the country. Where on their schedule is 3 to 4 losses?

Agree, a close win over them doesn't mean EWU won't be contenders in December. Hell we needed a last second FG to beat them last time we made the chipper, and I think they were 0-9 at that point.

Isn't the poll to gauge the best teams, 1-25, based upon their record and who they've beat and not about how important one player is? No doubt VA is a integral part of EWU's success, and no, the offense won't be the same without him. Our production will likely drop a little, but that's only speculation, because no one knows since no one has seen West start a game for EWU.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

I didn't even know about VA until after I submitted my poll. I dropped EWU because of the ridiculous way they keep barely winning games.

The poll is about ranking the teams in the order you think they sit based on many factors and in relation to each other. One of those factors most definitely is the star of a team going down and I could see EWU not missing a beat and continuing to win...I think they will but I no longer think them better than the two teams below them in my poll with VA out of the mix. Easy for EWU move right back over those teams though as well.

I hope that wasn't too much math for you.
Is margin of victory all that matters? I'm not saying there isn't room to question EWU's placement at #2 in the polls. There is. I'm just saying that the same goes for NDSU. Heck, there was a thread started almost immediately about NDSU losing in the MVFC this year. Of course their point spread would be boosted by playing Incarnate Word. And the win against the Cyclones is an impressive win. But they didn't have the ability to really scout your offense with all of the new pieces. Against supposedly decent defenses, the Bison appear to struggle offensively, having to settle for 5 FG's against the Grid and managing only two TD's on Saturday. What happens when you guys face some of the stronger and more balanced teams in the MVFC this year? To me, NDSU looks vulnerable, and I wouldn't slam someone for questioning their placement at #1.

All that being said, I still think they are #1. But to say EWU should be penalized for pulling out a win against a solid offense should have as much impact as the win NDSU barely squeaked out this weekend to a team that apparently was the only one to get zero votes, aka respect I the MVFC.

Those numbers were to demonstrate the ratio of the victory margin vs. the opponents ability to score. It would be much easier for EWUs opponents to close the gap than NDSUs.

Wrong, NDSU is the best team in the FCS, even if they lose a game they should still be ranked #1 that is how dominant they are. Any close game is a result of their boredom during the regular season.

Then I'll repeat it as always do...what does that have to do with what we're doing here. egriz isn't AGS, are we agreed on this?

Get a little f'n tired of that egriz crap being brought up as if it's something we do here. Don't see a lot of EWU fans here being held up for something said on EWU's fan board.

They have a fan board?

Yeah, were one of two BSC teams that do. The others just have a site no one visits.:p

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Word on the street is that when the news on Adams broken foot was posted on "your site" you had upwards of 20 users.....confirm or deny?

I know Ewu only has 17 fans so the real mystery is who were the other 3?

[centennial]

I've seen plenty of EWU games and know that VA has made plays out of nothing. I just don't see the replacement as good. All EWU needs is to miss a couple of scores and they could lose to any team in the BSC.

[Rjones61]

It's quite simple.

EWU has an average margin of victory of 16.
NDSU has an average margin of victory of 22.8.

Even if you think those numbers are close (they're not) you have to account for the average points scored against.

EWU 32.4
NDSU 8.2

So if you take the average margin of victory for EWU, you will see that opponents are scoring 203% that amount. NDSU's opponents are scoring about 36% of their average margin of victory.

I hope that wasn't too much math for you.

What a load. Using this logic, a team which won 56-42 wouldn't have as good of a margin as a team that won 10-7.

This quote is actually fabricated.

I know you this was tongue-in-cheek, but Davis surprisingly has a pretty decent board. You usually can get a whole host of quality fan board sandbagging on their game threads.

UC Davis is an awesome school. Just wish they weren't so ambivalent about football because that place would be perfect for tailgating.

Little-known fact: Despite leaving over a decade ago, nobody in the history of Division II has more playoff appearances than UC Davis... not even NDSU.

EWU doesn't even have a forum. They have a section of a forum. ****s weak IMO.

UC-Davis also KILLED SDSU in our first D-1 game. 2004? I think?

Thanks! It was a joke in response to a joke. I know in reality

kittykatfans is the real forum of choice for college football fans.;)

In all truth, this is the forum I enjoy above all others. Even the hogwash that you post about us, lol. But our team forums getting better.

True, you had 19 people on line last week...............things are looking up

Know what's weak? Your smack, SHSU's vaunted 2014 "Greatest defense in the history of SHSU," and the walls of the rubber that were supposed to keep the mistake known as Nickels from ever happening.
