No. I would take Brian Lee Rivers over most anyone.
-
My biggest concern is how much the defense has been bending, but glad that the number of times they break remains relatively few. Offense looks good, capable of putting up points. Will be interesting to see how they do against a really stout defense. And special teams has made some key plays as well, though it’s disappointing how many return yards they often give up. If we’re in, A home game means I think we win. if on the road, I’m much more skeptical.

I'm ok with it, so long as we beat 'em as a final F-you to them.
-
Thank you. That's what I suspected, but it seems FCS playoff selections are filled with controversy ("quality loss", etc.) it almost wouldn't surprise me if bids were opened once the 8 seeds are chosen.
-
I asked this several weeks ago, but I don't recall getting an answer - are hosting bids opened before or after the selection of teams who make the playoffs? In other words, do bids ever factor into which teams make the playoffs?
-
Unfortunately, they probably don't scrutinize bubble teams to that extent. But I hadn't really thought about it much until now, and I gotta agree with you that props need to be given, especially having Tommy Schuster ready to go win that game against SHSU. That was huge.

Will be glad to have Evan back. Regarding saving his redshirt - I think if we're playing a second playoff game (which will mean we won the first one, if there is a first one), there's no point to hold Evan for 2020, let's go make some noise.

I hate to derail this thread completely, but parity in college hockey is a thing, and parity in FCS football is not. Not right now anyway. Hopefully soon it will be.
-
Yes. It was obvious that we were missing a key component of our defense.
-
Was Evan Holm held out to preserve a red shirt, or was it injury related?
-
I don't necessarily think fans are looking for an extension. I think best case scenario is for Bubba to retire after his current contract is up (after 2021 season), after having made the playoffs in each of his last three seasons. (2019, 2020, 2021)

Had a dream last night that I returned a kick for a touchdown, and then this morning, I found a dollar bill that had blown into my yard. I’m feeling lucky about this!!
-
Still plays. She's a junior. Maybe we could get a game against Michigan State?
-
The fact that we had these three at the same time was like having Jenny Krause and the Pudenz sisters in WBB at the same time. Remember that Chelsea Moser was on the team that first year, too. There were also a good supporting cast on those teams, like Alivia Fraase (she'd be a senior this year), Julia K, Jordan Vail, Ashley Bruggeman, and Teodora Tepavac (a minor role, but she could get us a serve if we needed it).

If there were ever a time to bring out the "Leave No Doubt" mantra, the Weber State game is it. Win and you're probably in. Lose and you're leaving your destiny in someone else's hands.
-
We’ve had some luck on our side this year, too.
-
I could definitely see that being the final score. Hopefully it’s closer.

Weber St., North Carolina A&T, and Youngstown St. https://athlonsports.com/college-football/fcs-rankings-top-25-power-poll-following-week-4-2019

For the Top 25, James Madison and Sam Houston St. both had byes last week. https://athlonsports.com/college-football/fcs-rankings-top-25-power-poll-following-week-10-2019

IF UND uses the bye to their advantage - well rested, more prepared, healthier - then it was a good decision not to play a 12th game. No reason why we can't put together a game plan to beat Weber St. when we've had two weeks to do it. Build off the last game, which used defense and special teams to set the tone. If Kett struggles offensively, put Schuster in and see what he can do. No reason to not let him get his four games. Bubba should still be saying "It's a very important game for our team this year and very important game for our program."

2nd Bye Week, or should of this been a GDT?
Dustin replied to BarnWinterSportsEngelstad's topic in Football
I was a fan of the double bye week before the season began, and I still stand by it. We just need to make sure that our bye week is indeed helpful to the team. We should be the more prepared, better rested team come next week in Ogden. It would be disappointing not to win that game. -
Only 5 teams with a tougher SOS have an equal or better record than UND.
