W&M go for two ... and ... good W&M 20 Richmond 13

Two holdings on W&M so 3 and 30. Richmond causes fumble and returns for TD ... BUT WAIT ... targeting on Richmond. #29 Richmond DQ'd. 1 and 10 W&M. Still 13-12

W&M picks off the backup Richmond QB. (They said he hasn't completed a pass all season; his first completion is the wrong way. Ouch.)

11:14 left in 3rd ... Richmond 13 W&M 12 (x pt was blocked )

HP or BCSD?

Richmond 10 W&M 3 13:42 remain in 2nd

I'd say Richmond is going through the W&M defense like a hot knife through butter, but it's more like through cream.

So where do the live updates of the key games go? In this thread? Key games: Richmond and W&M SMSU and Cent Arkansas SDSU and UNI Other?

Just four penalties and no allowed power play goals. That is a big key to last night. There are pairs of forwards that work: 22 and 16 (think to WMU last season); 25 and 27 (JJ's hat with Hoff setting them up); 19 and 17. I know there's a mindset we need a "heavy line" like last season, but it's currently this season. We're scoring challenged; don't make it easy for the other side to focus on shutting down one line. 16-17-19 allows the other team to focus on one line. I'd leave Pogo with Jost and Gersich; he's fast enough to keep up. I'd give Wilkie a shot with Gardner and Boeser to see if that can't get him going; if not, I'm not sure what to do with Wilkie (Yon's probably next up for that slot). That leaves Cole Smith for the Euro Express. A fourth line of some mix of 7-9-10-11-13 rounds it out.

Kennedy is right. UND did lose focus dealing with the nickname. Now all that energy can be refocused on, as Kennedy says, being the premier university in the upper Midwest.

Why isn't this on Watch Big Sky?

I'm not sure you understood me. I'm interpreting your "huge win" comment to be USD coming back over Weber State (in Vermillion) this season. I was talking about UND over USD in 2016 ... and UND over USD in 2011.

No, the question is: How did a MVFC team allow a 20 point third quarter lead become a 2OT loss? And when they knew better based on blowing a 20 point lead in 2011 in the same building no less!

Edits in red. You were so, so close. 9/10.

And that's why they play the games ... Meanwhile, ...

64% But yes, SDSU has a 36% chance of winning per Massey.

Doesn't the FCS committee try to avoid opening round conference match-ups? That would keep UND out of that situation.

In case they missed it, someone please send a fax the NCAA DI FCS committee on new, shiny North Dakota Fighting Hawks letterhead. The body of the fax only need be

After seeing Casselton, no, I couldn't wish that on the locals down there.

Imagine if they derailed ... an oil train.

Holy crap. I barely hear the whisper of ... "Kai Forbath" ... so I go and look to see where Forbath's at and his Wikipedia page is already updated! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kai_Forbath EDIT: And now it's been edited back to not say "Minnesota Vikings" already.

I'm not sure Wolanin's gone after this year. Could be, but if he's smart he looks at Poolman, Stetcher, Ladue, et al, and plays the junior year.
