Since they like to go on it on 4th down, if they get 3 ypc they can pile up a lot of yards. We need to shut them down on first and second down. Most teams in the Big Sky don't have good run defense so Poly offense works well for them. Assignment sharp and fill the holes is the order for the day.
This is an interesting bid from last year. http://www.richmond.com/sports/college/schools/james-madison/article_f363dece-190d-5352-abc0-b33017fa8ae4.html
NDSU does not want UNI in the same bracket as them and they would like UND to be physical with UNI. That would be a tough match up. Our defense sure looked good Saturday and Offense was really clicking. I don't know much about UNI. Midco has a replay of the UNI vs SDSU this week I play on recording just to see how they match up.
If UND wins I believe we get in. only 4 from the Big Sky and we will probably be the fourth. now my guess with regionalization we will probably be matched up UNI. Can we out bid UNI for a home game. this might be tough. at any rate. daybyday. loved the confidence of this team yesterday. It Shows. They are playoff ready.
Crazy how the preseason coaches could play out. If EWU and Montana lose next week. the top seven from the preseason poll would not have a chance for the playoffs.
This game day. two weeks ago was our first playoff game against Montana St. we won. today we need beat da bears. Every game is a Playoff game now. I believe we win. convincingly.
here is a mind bender. Best to wait a week and see how some of these games play out. http://www.anygivensaturday.com/showthread.php?177465-Big-Sky-Tiebreakers
Injury report. no mention of Studsrud, Reyes and Oliveira that is the good news. Greeley, Reed still out QuestÃonable. Chris Carter, Butler and Grady. these three need to be healthy. Tough game coming up.
I'm not sure which team to cheer for other than UND and Sac ST. This will be a two week process and I think 3 teams need to get knocked out for UND to get a placement.
We need a heavy of hogs push, Santiago and Oliveira rushing for a couple TD's, and Clive blowing the top off for a couple TD's. then about 3 interceptions along with an area 51 shutdown.
