Shoulda scored like at least 60 on Saturday.

SDSU will be outbid because their stadium is closed for construction and they would have to host in Sioux Falls

NDSUs first home playoff game in over 20 years had terrible attendance. It's not an indication of support. It's just a tough weekend.

Looks like a decent paper match up to me. Our style is perfect to counter theirs. Our d was designed to stop their o. Let's hope we play with our hair on fire out in sunny SLO and beat the piss out of them. It's long overdue, they've had our number recently.

Faison better pony up.

And that's without Arnell and Rich.....

I just wanted to highlight how dominant our defense was against a pretty good UNC offense. Obviously we had three picks and 2 fumble recoveries. We wanted it more and put them into the fetal position in the second quarter. We also finally scored a defensive TD. So we gave up 275 yards, that's really good. 170 passing yards and 105 rushing yards. Our d backs FINALLY had them locked down and were a strength instead of a liability. Things seemed to have finally clicked for these guys. They now have confidence. This is huge for our team defense. No longer can teams count on max protection and chuck and duck passing to beat us. Throw it deep if you wish but it's at best 50/50 now where it used to seem like 90/10 in favor of the WR. Back to the yards. I'd like to point out that they only scored on our third string guys. Two late drives, the only points they scored. As for the yards those last two drives accounted for 139 of the 275 yards allowed total. In other words, the starters gave up 136 yards.... 136 total yards to a team with a pretty decent offense. That's pretty damn good and a sign of what our defense is capable when relatively healthy. This same UNC team just put up 35 on Portland State with 483 yards of offense. We were lights out yesterday. The third string defense gave up 83 rushing yards on those last two drives. That means the starters and second string guys only gave up 22 rushing yards. Even better is the pass defense stats. The starters and second string only gave up 114 passing yards. I don't recall a game in years where we were so dominant against both the run and pass. It seemed to be the norm where we as fans would cross our fingers hoping the other team would be dumb enough to try and run the ball. And if they dropped back to pass we would just helplessly hold our breath. I hope this is a sign of things to come.

Also does anyone think Santiago has a chance to beat out Cookus for ROY in the Big Sky and Nation?

Literally unacceptable. No excuse. But I do wonder how many yards he could have had if he was given the ball 18-20 times. I'm selfish and want him to be an all american as a trfr.

SFI mentioned UNC was getting cheap in the trenches at the end of the game. Did anyone notice this? I didn't.

And the camera had almost a sepia filter on.

Smith just can't protect himself. I cringe every time he goes into contact. He never tried to make the guy miss. Maybe he can make an impact with his speed at WR. If not, he was a great DB in HS.

I don't think it was Davis. Maybe Sac?

Yea we were talking about how that height came out of nowhere for him and Stetson. Baylee got shafted and is about 5'8".

Judging from highlights Poly doesn't have the best setup for streaming.

I talked to his dad a few games ago. He said he's a hell of an athlete just like his brothers and that he's about 6'4" and still growing. He'd love to play for UND.

Espn3. Then eventually espn2.

This is what the experts are saying. http://www.anygivensaturday.com/showthread.php?177761-Bracketology-5-0

Well then all that's left to do is win and become a hot ticket again

I honestly don't care about that. I just don't want him to spend his first winter season rehabbing a knee.

Maybe chance the policy so it requires students to attend the football game and then receive the hockey tickets after the football game is over. Make those ungrateful students suffer through a boring old football game.

This would be huge. Absolutly huge.

Howso? I turned the game off after the last play.

I feel terrible for Olivera. He was the perfect compliment to Santiago and a much better back than Norberg.

I noticed Simo out there a lot as he seems to be making new friends each game.
