UND-FB-FAN

Iwarri Smith is too tentative for RB, but UND needs more depth (in other words, next season) before they can switch him. Olivera would be playing as the #2 RB if he didn't get hurt last weekend. More Norberg?

Triple option teams don't do well when facing a huge deficit. No excuse but for UND to play solid defense for the rest of the game...

I'm in absolute awe! UND is playing their best football at the end of the season! F'hawk yes!

You better believe it! Three more seasons of that! 99 yard touchdown drive! Bubba Ball has arrived, ladies and gentlemen!

Offensive line needs to keep on doing their thing. Play physical and knock Cal Poly off the ball. RBs need to keep running hard and hold on to the ball! Studsrud is awfully efficient and that is great!

Wow! What a great 4th down stop! The boys are ready to play, and for good reason! Keep it up! Go UND!

Absolutely. Style points....

Santiago TD! Getting a nice early lead is key considering how Poly plays on offense! Go UND!

Certainly helps that Portland State won. Helps UND by eliminating Eastern Washington from the playoffs and strengthens UND's resume since they beat a 9-2 Portland State team. All of that means nothing, though, if UND doesn't take care of Cal Poly tonight. GO UND!

All Big Sky Conference games are streamed. http://www.eversport.tv/big-sky/football Also, in case you are unaware, kickoff for tonight's UND-Cal Poly game is at 8 PM CT

Just when Portland State can put it away... they fumble it away for a TD...

27-17 Portland State UND needs Portland State to pull out this game.

NAU just scored on last play of the half with a hail mary type play.... 24-14 NAU at half

Good win for the Fighting Hawks!

If both Portland State and UND wins, then UND would be the 4th or 5th team in out of the Big Sky Conference. Those kind of odds are not good.

That's always a possibility, but not how I see it.

Damn 7-6 EWU Meanwhile, Montana State has pulled within 9 pts of Montana..... Getting very interesting in Bozeman

PSU 6 EWU 0

I can understand; Hoopster is one of those irrational Jones supporters.

Well, some good news: Eastern Washington fumbles opening kickoff and Portland State recovers. Two plays later, Portland State takes a early 6-0 lead over Eastern Washington (missed XP). A Portland State win would certainly help UND.

Seeding for the national tournament, yes. RPI

Maybe that close Wisconsin game wasn't a fluke. UND looking quite impressive early. Now up 21 - 9 with 11:19 remaining in the 1st half

Fighting Hawks up 16-9 over the Falcons 12:30 1st

Get the sweep Fighting Hawks! GO UND!

The Villanova loss is big. Too bad it looks like New Hampshire and Montana are going to win. Montana game still has some time left, though. Last of the "big four others" for UND would be the Portland State-EWU game; Portland State must win that game! And, of course, UND must take care of business tonight in California. Go UND! Let's go Fighting Hawks!
