I'm not even going to let playoff brackets enter my mind until after this weekend.

My head tells me UND 24-17, but my heart tells me different. It's been a rough 10 years.....I need to see us do it before my heart can believe it.

Any news if Brock will be healthy enough to play? Hope Danny calls a masterful game, we will need it. Would be nice to have Brock as an option to mix thing up if we get stagnant on offense. I wish Zeb had played just a little bit better so that they were still starting him this week.

The only thing we are missing right now is a quality loss. Maybe we should lose this weekend so we can get a quality loss under our belts

We must have about 200 yards of offense compared to their 10. Keep it rolling. Let's get Quincy in, in the second half.

I predicted in the other thread that Luke breaks a big one today.

NIU at SIU tomorrow, will be interesting to see how that one turns out.

Now that is a bet I would take you up in on a second! Unless you got some inside news that we won’t be attempting any more FG’s this year

I predict Skokna breaks a big run.

Who had Belquist with as many receiptions as Maag after three games this year? Or Belquist and Preston combined having 4 times the catches Richter has?

Previous years I would have said this, not this year. The expectation should be to beat them handily, not saying players should think that. I'm hoping this is the game Quincy gets in the game in the 3rd or 4th quarter. Yep I'm going to be greedy, we've pissed around too many years......I want to dominate these guys.

I'd maybe hold off on that.....until after........ we play the team from the south.

I think Bubba will be able to tell the team......."they don't think you can win on the road in the MVFC" as a type of motivator to get the guys amped up for no let down. And it is true, we haven't played on the road yet. It feels like we are transitioning into the next section of the season, the first three were all home games....and we won that section. Nice 10 day rest now.....and starting the next leg of the season. I think the guys will be ready, hope I'm right.

I was thinking that same thing after this game and Otis busting out for 160 and almost 250 rushing as a team. Teams are likely to start crowding the box a bit more, Tommy needs to keep making a lot of the throws he's making and hopefully start hitting a couple more vertical routes. He did have some pretty nice throws tonight though. I remember one cross the field towards the sidelines and he put it perfectly in place for a first down, and the coverage was pretty good. He has really good pocket presence. 0 sacks is a combination of great OL play and him having great presence and getting rid of it when needed. Danny is continuing to be on fire calling plays. I knew eventually he was going to go over the top with Vaughn in there in a running type situation, he was waiting for the perfect spot to do it...and he nailed it. We have run the flea flicker so many times though, it's no surprise and usually the deep guy is double covered. Maybe he is setting up some other play out of the flea flicker for later in the year....not sure. I agree, save Boltmann for the NDSU game, make sure he is fully healthy for one. But also to give a new wrinkle against them. Boltmann on sprint out option with Skokna would be fun to see.

Give props to USD, they played this short game with both on the road and played pretty well.

Tommy hasn’t been sacked once all year, and we only have 5-6 penalties total on three games, that’s amazing. I sure don’t miss Kett’s 10 yard sacks. He did throw a pretty good deep ball though. Let’s see now if we can keep it rolling on the road.

Think I heard 489 yards offense, I like that!

Me either, one big play and we are down

I’d feel a lot more comfortable if we were up 14-3, still pretty nervous. Hopefully we replicate our previous 3rd quarters

This is going to be a 4 quarter game

I’ve been waiting for Danny to have him throw it over the top on one of those plays where he is in there and it looks like a run

Nice decision to run there, finally!

Canady is right, they have won big games before...along with some of the other upper class. But I think they all remember what happened afterwards. Plus we have a young QB, who seems to be so laid back and still focusing on just trying to get better. Hope this is the perfect mix of being confident, but not too full of themselves all year.

You may be right on this as to why they start Gee. However I think SKokna can do everything Gee can, not sure on blocking. Gee does need to get some reps to save wear on the other two. I would just like more production early in the game and/or on the first drive. Hopefully the defense breaks the streak of giving up an easy TD on first drive this week. I wouldn't be giving Mitchell Gee's carries though like the one poster mentioned. Gee knows the offense, can block, hasn't made any mistakes. I'm sure the coaches feel much more comfortable with him in there instead of a true freshman. Hopefully Mitchell can get some more carries later in the season.

I agree with Hardcore Hawk, their QB looks pretty good.....quick and elusive, likes to buy time and throw down field. And yeah USD got burned deep a few times. Maybe this is the week we finally connect on a deep TD.
