Wonder if we should pay attention to this one. He is “committed” to Northern Illinois but did just follow my account, which I always find interesting.

Great work @siouxfan512! I feel like Bouman is a bit overrated. He’s good, don’t get me wrong but I take Jerry over him 10/10 times. I would compare Bouman to Tommy a bit. Maybe a bit more of an arm but their #s are fairly comparable. I have very little concerns with their offense. They’re not going to light up the scoreboard on any respectable team and definitely not on us. My concern is with their defense. It’s their strength and was last year as well. But I still go back to having confidence in Jerry and he should be able to guide this offense to outscore them. I think you are spot on that if you look at this as a blind resume, this should be a similar result to the UNI game but the DakotaDome is a factor. Not because of their stellar attendance or anything but it’s just a weird place to play I think. I haven’t been to the UNI Dome but probably similar to that so we should be prepared.

Complete hypothetical but if UND beats USD this weekend, do you think there is any chance that Gameday would come here? Odds are slim but a quick look it looks like competing games would be going to Lubbock for Texas Tech vs BYU, Charlottesville for UVA vs WF, Tuscaloosa for Bama vs LSU or South Bend for Notre Dame vs Navy.

Yeah came to say this. Their defense is good still. Not overly concerned about their offense but Bouman is there and is solid plus Phillips has been a workhorse since Pierre went down.

Losing to USD would be really disappointing. I think we can beat SDSU, especially at home, but I think it’s hard to judge them yesterday without Chase Mason. I guess it would still be disappointing to lose.

I get it but they got some guys. I think they’re high on Strickland, although listed as a guard, he’s 6’6”. Also, Treyson Anderson sounds like could take a step forward.

KenPom has us at 314 to start the season, which is 7th in the conference. He has Denver last but I don’t buy that.

I’m not the biggest Xavier Leigh fan but I want him and Brunell to get most of the carries this game. Obviously, need to start with SS and get out to a lead but yeah let’s preserve Chuck if we can. What about Randle Parker? Is he ready for some touches?

I want Deng Deng out there as much as the next guy but it seems like there is probably a lot of refining to his game he still needs to work on. Good redzone target right now, though.

I wasn’t really sure where to post this but interesting that USD will be wearing these helmets against us.

I think Kraft off the bench. Could see King not playing in this one. I will say Uelmen at the 1.
