I’m not sure Thompson, Mayville and Hillsboro having playoff games at the same time tomorrow helps us. That will take away some fans unfortunately. I’m going to predict 11,500 with a solid SDSU turnout in the first game being ranked #1.

I feel going to the air is more risky than sticking on the ground. It’s what NDSU tried last year and what kept it close. When they needed to ice the game, they ran the ball. With the play of the defense so far, I’m not sure we can stop either.

When the Jacks line up to run power football, will we be able to stop them? Not sure I have seen enough this year to be confident if we have 7-8 in the box.

Man if the “face of the team” left UND right after a loss BisonDan would be in this board telling us the team is falling apart and the ship is sinking.

Spot on. Not a ton of football experience but a really good athlete. I’ve been waiting for someone in the area to offer him something.

Yards in the ground will be tough to come by. Get the ball to playmakers and let them make plays. Tommy is going to have to make the plays he has made all year.

YSU found an offense with the backup QB. Threw for 200+ today. Dangerous team down the stretch.

SDSU will run the ball all day next week and playaction back to one of the twins. Hope the defense surprises me. Offensively we will do a better job getting our WRs the ball, we will struggle running. Place needs to be packed and loud on Saturday.

Surprised at how good the very young OL has been. Not perfect but very solid. Disappointed for Sammy Fort. Secondary would have looked better with him there. It has been looking a little better each week. By that I mean gets stops when they have needed to.

First time I have tuned in to WDAY to watch a game. Can’t tell if I’m watching Class A state championship or a college game. Man we are fortunate with Midco

Someone is on the ledge tonight. Holy !@#$

I don’t think they get their tales kicked in just like I don’t think we would get our tails kicked in. I think both teams win more than they lose. Recent move up history would actually back that. The biggest difference is the understanding that your season is just for one bowl game. They aren’t getting any more fans or charging any more for tickets than they do now. I hope while they are working on getting into Conference USA, the remaining Dakota schools and Montana schools are trying to figure out how we can make a move together than give them the finger when they ask to come back in.

And if we don’t get some of the big returns Siegel is capable of we likely lose an additional game or two and the season is done. Play your best players whether it’s return game or coverage. We don’t have the luxury yet to just have a return guy. Guys like Siegel also need to show they can do this to increase value at the next level.

Youngstown will be full of good athletes, play physical football and be a tough place to play. They probably should have beat us last year at our place. It was as flat of a game as we have played.

I’d say they already had it getting 10 points in the final minutes of the first half to close the gap to a one point game.

Bold strategy…..play for the personal foul call

Could have but wasn’t.

Outside of the FB/TB/TE in Fargo, probably the best in the conference. Defense needs to be focused. This game will be a rock fight

Didn’t pay much attention.

One of the best atmospheres in the Alerus I have been at. Maybe not the loudest but crowd was having fun and into the game at the right times. Music was good (maybe played a little when we had the ball) but entertaining. Band was solid as usual. Great afternoon. UND was solid but can improve so much. Stay focused next week and prove we can do it on the road.

I think they were trying to hold it together with duct tape at the end of the half

Someone who wants to watch practice will never find them……

Another thing- this stretch of Missouri St.’s schedule is also a grind for them. Two losses in a row to Arkansas and SDSU. Than us, SIU and UNI (after a bye). A loss for them tomorrow puts added importance on their next two. Really for both teams tomorrow is a must win and we will be facing a very hungry and talented team. Be there, be loud and help the boys out anyway we can.
