Including this year, Schuster has 4 years of eligibility left, correct?

He needs to improve his catch radius if he is going to take a big step forward this season.

Whether we get the out of state kids or not, I like the idea of offering them. It ups the price tag for schools like SDSU.

I was surprised SDSU didn't try to run a play that would have given them a chance at a last second field goal. I think they still had a timeout left. Or if you want to run the hook and ladder, get the ball to your stud running back.

Sort of hate to see this guy go. He had some really good catches at key moments for us this year. Made Me excited about our potential to use tight ends again for the first time since the Chad mustard era.

I remember it well. Often is almost an understatement. I think it was rare to see one completed.

I heard on the Bison radio station today that if ndsu and und win, ndsu will host the game. Not sure if that is true, just repeating what I heard.

We had a chance to hire this guy didn't we?

We beat sdsu, the number one seed and did that after getting off to a poor start. We easily beat another playoff team that is still in the mix. Jmu has had a couple games this year where they did not look very good. 28 - 17 UND. Tommy will throw for over 200 yards and after the game people will complain that he isn't a big enough running threat and that somehow makes us one-dimensional. Ndsu's quarterback will throw for 50 yards and their fan base will think he is the next coming of Trey Lance.

If bo doesn't recover quickly enough to be full strength in the fall, can he redshirt and stiy get 4more years to play? Just wondering how things work with this year that doesn't count.

I thought both of the long balls tommy threw were right on the money. If the receiver had dropped either of those passes, you would have understood?

Preston could be in the mix too?

This is painful. I just want to see Quincy play a little.

Did anyone having any trouble streaming the game from ESPN Plus?

Will the game be on ESPN+?

SDSU vs Missouri State seems like a given 1st round matchup... #2 vs a bubble team, and a regional matchup. As for und and NDSU meeting in the first round... I can't think of anything that makes me believe that would happen.

Seems like we could run the ball on them. But yes, they've got some good receivers, a great QB, and speed. I would guess we would have a couple running backs put up over 100 yards and that should keep things interesting... If we play them. With covid-19, I wonder if the committee will have more in conference games in the first round. Maybe we see an EWU vs Weber matchup... They haven't played each other this year.

I see Missouri State's AD is the selection committee chairman. I don't think that would make SDSU vs NDSU a losers out game, but never know; might need a way to make room for MSU.

If we lose it might be hard to give UND a spot in the playoffs when we haven't won in 5 weeks and are riding a two game losing streak. SDSU losing probably helps us as we would have a clear advantage over them. I think it's unlikely missouri state gets in but not out of the question if UND and SDSU both lose.

Agree that we get in at 4 - 1. Missouri state lost several games last fall and that likely keeps them out, and I think three valley teams could get in. Getting in at 4 - 2 would probably require sdsu and missouri state to lose one more game, which could happen.

I'm pretty sure the game is on kvly. The poster asked for viewing options for people who weren't local

Anyone know how home field will be determined. With some states capping attendance and some not, a bidding process doesn't seem like the way to do it.

I know there were a couple in game 1 this year

Agree. At this point I wouldn't trade holinka for schmitty.

I think Tommy would look a little better if maag was better at making adjustments to the ball. He's great at catching a ball in stride but it seems like the ball needs to be right on the money for maag to get a reception. He doesn't seem to have the catch radius of somebody like wanzak. Maybe we should be targeting someone else for the big down field plays?
