Forecast for Saturday is for a warm (and somewhat humid) day (80-85°F) with strong south wind (20-30 mph).

Seems crazy. Seems like our passing game is perfectly set up for short yard gains, plus our O-line has shown it can get a push for a couple yards at will, plus we have Quincy who always seems to get 2-3 yards when you only need 1. Haven't seen many of the attempts, but I am guessing we are getting too cute in the play calling??

Thanks for the analysis.

For those who watched, did we look better than Thursday night?

Would be nice if NAU goes on to win.

Looks like just about every MVFC team has a bye this week, including SDSU. So they will be rested as well.

I didn't see any of the Boise St. game, but it sounds like the run game was there for the taking, but we got too cute with things. Hopefully lesson learned. You don't need too many plays if you get 3 yards per run and sneak Quincy for 1 yard.

Keep in mind, 10-1 is also still a possibility. And so is 2-9

If we don't win any of the "big 3" games, I would prefer for Bubba to resign at the end of the season. Doesn't have to be Danny to take over, but didn't he get some sort of "Associate" title earlier this year? I would assume that's the direction it's heading.

I didn't want to derail the Boise St. thread so I brought this topic over here. Under the current assumption that Danny Freund will be the next HC, what changes do you think he will implement in that role? Any staff changes? Who would he elevate to OC? Just wondering what people think the future coaching staff looks like.

He already committed, right?

Trying to follow here as I’m tied up with relatives ahead of a wedding. What’s the score, etc?

Winning 1 of the “big three” and going undefeated in the others would be a pretty big step up, IMO. That doesn’t mean I don’t want more for this team. I’m just saying 9-2 is really good and I’d be excited for how far we can make it in the playoffs.

I have no problem with the players having this mentality, in fact I expect it. But fans can have a way of being a little delusional when it comes to their favorite team. Was just trying to gauge how much delusion there is from us. I hope it’s a great day tomorrow.

Lot of confidence on board this week. Not sure if it’s what UND FB FAN said and people are trying to will it by saying (writing) it, or if people really think we’re going to win.

yeah, I was surprised they went with that. they were terrible.

Caught the last 3 minutes on tonight’s rebroadcast. Don’t know if I got a great sense of how these teams are, but both of their quarterbacks can air it out. gotta say, I love SDSU’s field. No ads, crisp yard line font, and checkerboard end zone. Que magnifique!

This has been brought up a couple times now. Do we know for sure that Elidor was the intended target from the play call? Or did Elidor turn to look back once he realized he had blown coverage and maybe Tommy needed an 'out' from the original play call? I'm not saying that it wouldn't have been cool to hit Elidor in stride right in the end zone, but do we even know what all was going on on that play to make such a big deal out of it? We scored a TD. If you watch the replay, after the fake hand off, Tommy looks left first (there were two receivers left, Elidor was on the right). For what it's worth, Tommy threw from his own 47 and Elidor caught the ball at the 7, a total of 46 yards. Tommy did not look like he threw all he was good for, to me. On the play right before half, Feeney threw from his own 44 and the ball was tipped at the 3, a total of 53 yards. And he did look like he threw all he was good for.

Doesn’t give me warm fuzzies that NDSU’s offense is in the top 5.

If only one is a possibility, it would mean more to beat NDSU.

How about we always look fresh??!!

That's what I figured, but didn't know for sure. I stand by my post earlier that getting those guys that experience will probably pay dividends later.
