    Like what’s been said, if Luepke is out that’s huge for us. Even without him though, I fear how we stop their running. I wouldn’t be shocked if they go with their approach they had against WIU, just pound the rock. 
     

    On the offensive side, I’d be shocked if we can’t consistently move the ball. That’s not necessarily a slight to their defense but our offense is humming. Maybe they are the ones to stop that. 

    I get they are great at pounding the rock and it wears teams down and controls the clock, BUT every team we play seems to throw 8-10 yard pass plays effortlessly. Unless we change something this week, I don't know why this game would be any different. We absolutely have to defend Mathis better than other teams. The guy is a monster and will get his catches, the key is to actually wrap him up and make the tackle. I haven't watched much Bison football this year, but the games I have seen he seems to slip away from tackles with ease because he is so damn big.

  2. This is where the polls can get frustrating and even a single loss can be such a setback (SIU). That knocked us back out of the polls after we were already in and now we have had to claw and scratch just to get back to 17. Even with a win against NDSU, how much could we really move up? We would definitely move up a bit (maybe even get a vote in the coaches poll) but how much? A seed would be in play, but how high of a seed? As of now NDSU looks to the #3 (which is absurd) .... so UND should be at least that if we hit 8-3 with a win over the Bison and a tougher SOS , right? So wrong, I'll bet even with a win this weekend we slide in as the #8.

    This is starting to look like the classic Bubba letdown game that keeps us out of the playoffs :glare:

    It’s unreal. I didn’t expect usd to just roll over. But I also didn’t expect us to.

    Wow USD was really stacked up on that 4th down....great job Q with finding the opening! 

    I like the push from someone behind him to get him in the end zone. I don’t know who it was but they gave him a good shove.

    A 5-6 team has never made the FCS playoffs.  And will neve make the FCS playoffs.  I mean, I:ve seen some pretty wild takes.  But this one takes the cake.  

     

    I mean, they aren't very impressed with us. We aren't as physical, we aren't as talented, we clearly aren't any good .... BUT if they beat the almighty power that is UND, even though they don't think we are an almighty power, then they should absolutely be in the playoffs at 5-6 because those 5 wins may have been against crap teams, but the 6 losses were against all out amazing teams. We are taking the wrong approach people! Schedule 3-4 games against top ranked FBS teams (be sure to lose them), then lost the the majority of the MVFC. Only beat the really really bad teams and at 2 and 9 the committee would have no choice but to consider us.

    Am I on track here?
