I'm not going to predict anything for this week since Sac St is a talented team that just last week held a big lead on NAU. There are some things that I will be looking for out of UND though.
Defense. They need to bring the same intensity and tackling from the EWU game. They only missed a couple tackles all game in the open field. Kuksa. Will he build off of last week and be the catalyst for the defense? Turnovers. We need to get in the habit of forcing them. EWU won last week because of turnovers and that is it. Line. The trenches were ok last week. Edwards was in there throwing their center around which was nice to see but we still need more out of this unit. If we blitz the big boys need to eat the blocks so the lbs can feast on the qb and rb.
Offense. Will Joe build on his performance last week? A lot like Kuksa, Joe is the catalyst for the offense. If he can be composed and more aware back there of the situations we can have a big day on offense. If he takes care of the ball we have a great chance of winning. The run game. Last year our bigger back Sutton killed them. Are we going to try and kill them with two little guys or will Sparks and Shaugs get some carries outside of the redzone? Hog. Last year out hogs ran them over and broke their will. They need to do it again this year. Also will we see Adams soon? He could make difference in the run game immediately.
