One of thr most important defensive series of the year coming up. Need a stop

Butter

ESPN plus and Midco are blocked in Mexico.....F me. At least that big sky network thing we had in 2015 worked in Mexico back then, was one good thing about it. Will have to listen on radio. LFG Hawks!!

Fruechte has been very good adjusting to.... and taking advantage of what the defense is giving us. Hopefully he will be on from the start and it won't take a quarter or so to adjust.

Exactly. My thoughts earlier in the week were another WR needs to make big plays this week. NDSU is well coached, we run the ball and we throw to Bo, that is what they will focus on. Not that Bo won't get 4-5 receptions yet anyway though. Bo will still be Bo.

Talked to a guy at the swim up bar this morning from Iowa St. who was at the UND game, he was very complimentary of our team. Since we played them tough he said he has watched our scores the last few weeks. He actually even complemented our QB. He also of course asked about Bo and said how good he was. He said it was pretty hot that day, nice to know we played in that heat and our team never looked gased.

I think it may end up being a similar story to the last couple of games, they load the box to stop the run. It's going to come down to if we are able to hit those big passes plays once again.

My early feeling is we have a team that is capable of winning, but at home I think their offense makes a few more plays and we can't quite keep up. That said though this game is huge for us and our team seems more confident this year...hoping they come through big on Saturday. Poor timing on a trip as I'm heading to Cabo Thursday....so will be watching from the beach on my phone. We beat a ranked Portland State team on the road back in 2015 or 16 and watched that one from beach in Cancun.... hoping for similar results Saturday!

I would agree a lot of it will be on the defense. Our offense has honestly been so bizarre.....we complete like 8 passes but they go for 250 yards. I can't tell if it's smoke and mirrors yet or not. If we don't hit on those big passes our offensive numbers almost drop in half. Those big passes have worked........because everyone since Montana is stacking the box. Will those big passes still hit against a better defense, I hope so. I am hoping we still have some success on the ground even if they do stack the box. Last year they didn't adjust to stop the run so we kept running it down their throats. I think this year they will come out and primarily try and stop the run and force us to continue to execute those long passes.

Or dropped passes by our WR's. Offense and defense both need to capitalize on big plays when they are there for the taking. No missed sacks that turn into 40 yard Touchdown type of things. Need a great tackling day!

Think we may need a big day from another WR. I think they will key on stopping the run....and Bo.

Prior to the season I was thinking NDSU was going to return the favor and spank us in their house....3 score type of victory. Our offense has shown we can control clock and move the ball though. While I'd still have to give them the edge being at home, think we have a chance. Would agree with Geau....a lot of it will depend on how well our defense plays....and can we force another turnover or two.

Yeah saw that, I'm sure he is out for a while. Crazy how he comes in and just seems to bust a big play right away.

Hope Seidl is healthy for next week. Hope Hunts injury isn't too severe either.

We have 72 points and Bo is still receiving punts? Geez let someone else get some reps at that.

We cleared the over on our own

The only thing that sucks about having 65 points....Jerry may not get the chance to throw a pass.

Jerry may not be as elusive as Romfo but he sure has wheels!

All punters do that even if they only get nicked, as they should.....to draw the flag.

Damn Jerry ran stride for stride with Smith!

Ok hold them D and then let's get some backups some reps.

Wow that was a weak call!

Dennis will probably hold record for the most targeting or potential targeting calls against him. Tough kid!

Hunt a 40 yard run on queue!

Jerry could have actually gotten in during 3rd quarter if our D would step up
