The Sicatoka

Last week's SEC shorts:

They should've: (a) kept Darnold, or (b) traded JJ18 at the deadline for picks if rebuild around JJ9 is the plan.

Sagarin 5 Massey 6

Everything ripples through be it up or down.

Found on TwiX FCS first-round playoff attendance: at Rhode Island: 2,640 at Villanova: 2,125 at Youngstown State: 4,869 at Abilene Christian: 4,588 at South Dakota: 3,964 at Tennessee Tech: 4,641 at SDSU: 3,843 at Southeastern Louisiana: 3,321

What happened to the penguins? Yale figure them out? Defense implode? Turnovers? 29 unanswered is Chernobyl category melt down.

Up next is a highly touted purple-wearing 11-1 team on the road …

As seen on TwiX… Tennessee Tech had outscored 11 non-FBS opponents by a combined 258-91 in the first half, but North Dakota shut out the Golden Eagles in the opening 30 minutes.

It’s postseason. It’s big back time.

29 unanswered …

How about career FCS postseason wins?

Tell me if you’ve heard this one: 2 is injured.

When 14-1 and a January game is the norm, will 7-4 and a mid-December bowl be enough. (The teams around them in Sagarin average out about there.)

Is there a pads modification that can help him?

As far as i got listening to the presser today.

Schmidt says Fleming is better than 50-50 to play.

Let's hope that's what he's learning and acting on.

Put Mason South ahead of him as lead blocker and the tail back is still bigger.

9 can't do it alone. If I can't have 20 or 28 someone needs to step up. 9 Sawyer Seidl RB 5-10 175 So. Hugo, Minn. / Hill-Murray 20 Xavier Leigh RB 5-10 185 5th Troy, N.Y. / Sacred Heart 21 Colton Brunell RB 6-0 200 R-Fr. Columbus, Wis. / Columbus 28 Gaven Ziebarth RB 6-0 205 Sr. Cambridge, Minn. / Cambridge-Isanti 31 Griffin Broderick RB 6-0 240 Fr. Minot, N.D. / Minot 32 Charles Langama RB 5-9 195 Fr. Maple Grove, Minn. / Maple Grove 35 Randle Parker RB 5-9 195 R-Fr. Phoenix, Ariz. / Mountain Pointe

Participation report says X has 10 GP and Z has 7 GP. Langama has 4 GP in regular season (keeps the year) and post-season doesn't count. Brunell and Langama have resume. Boys, time to expand on it.

The change I see the last four games is X and Z went down. We can't win with SS and Jerry splitting carries and Jerry is the leading rusher. Brunell and Langama, time to show up big. (PS - two arms ... )

Off by a zero.

Got to 6-2 and started over-thinking it. Go out and play.

TTU is updating their stadium. Last time UND hit one of those (being updated, Nichols St) UND got tents and porta-johns in the parking lot. This time I've heard the home locker room is being surrendered to UND. TTU being civil hosts or did the NCAA change some policy or guideline?

Would you blow a gasket if UND had lost? Smile, take the W, move on.
