Same here!

So Studs banging his knee could have been prevented by better conditioning and a better medical staff?

If Studs is out and doesn't play, I'd say you are probably right.

What??? Are you freaking kidding me....now Studs! Toivonen didn't even travel there.........Ugh! We are completely screwed without Studs playing!

I predict we run the jet sweep for negative 4 yards tomorrow.....instead of the usual negative two

Nice call on your part, your brother must of thought you were brilliant! Santiago can be electric that is for sure, however he requires a crease to get through. Our OL was a bit of a question coming into this year but we felt they would be "ok". But with injuries 3 starters are out some of us wonder if our bruising back should get more carries than Santiago just because there is often not much of a hole, and Brady can just make his own hole. Santiago is a bit like Barry Sanders (not that he is Barry Sanders), but he sometimes dances in the backfield looking for that crease and has more negative runs than most good backs, which is frustrating. But then there are also times where he makes something out of nothing for a big gain.

Would be nice if Santiago ripped off an 80 yard TD on the first play from scrimmage against them again to start things out! Although actually I think I'd rather have an 80 yard drive that chewed some clock and went for a TD, and then have Santiago bust one for 80 in the second half.

Coming out party for JJ and Izzy on offense this week and we score 30 Unfortunately Montana will likely score 40 plus though, here is to us keeping them under 50!

Potato Bowl and Homecoming typically seem to have the largest turnout. So selling out for the MSU game, which was neither of those, is a pretty good sign in my opinion. We've lost some of that momentum with everything that has happened since then, but I think we'll be able to get it back next year. Definitely have to have a better start to the season next year!

I can't imagine anyone who was ever brought in to be an offensive lineman has ever switched to LB, I'd think that is quite the spread!

If by Hot Take Nate you mean Nate Little......ummmmm yeah, no thanks.

That's for sure, I'd also be ok with the refs making a crappy call against Montana too!

Next topic.

Keaton has been playing pretty pumped up lately and doing whatever he can to get us a win, here's to hoping he breaks another couple of long runs and has a lights out game! The whole offense needs to play that way actually, the receivers have to make all of their catches.....even the tough ones. We'll need all of the bounces to go our way on Saturday.

I felt the same way at the start of the year, that this game might be the toughest conference game of the year, over EWU since we get EWU at home. If we win it's going to take everything to go right and will be a 45-42 type of game. I could see Montana possibly winning by 3 scores, but hoping it's a lot closer than that and we somehow find a way to win. I'm sort of seeing flashbacks of our last game there when we had a depleted secondary and 2nd string QB in, that was ugly. We do have Keaton though, the offense needs to play balls out to keep it close, and must convert and score TD's not FG's.

Testing every day is ridiculous and is not going to happen. Can we put this issue to rest, or are we going to have another 5 pages talking about pot/drugs. I'd say start another thread if you want to yap back and forth about this, but having a separate thread on this sure wouldn't be a good look either. Let's talk about the 2017 season moving forward.

Well that just took the wind out of the sails, that finally got some wind back in it last week. Harris and Reyes both likely out for rest of the year.......&#(@&%&*@

Oh I'm sure it will happen, I certainly don't see them going undefeated. When you are so reliant on one person, Streveler in this case, if that person isn't totally on their game......you are in trouble. They play you guys in Fargo this year right, if so I'd give you guys the edge. If the game is at USD, it would be hard to pick against USD........not saying they for sure win, would be a good game.

Whoa whoa whoa lol, I never said I thought they were going to win it all or even win the MVFC, somebody else made a comment about them winning the MVFC or being the best team. I was just saying at the time you said that teams now have a blueprint on how to stop them, and I was saying I was thinking it was more of USD letting off the gas last week and then couldn't get it going again. That happens sometimes when teams get up like that. I actually doubt they will win the Championship this year, but they are certainly one of the contenders and could make some noise in the playoffs. For a team to win the championship that wasn't even ranked coming into the season would be unheard of, but they seem to have proven they are the real deal so far. It's still USD though.....so we'll see what happens.

Nice job defense, we gave up that long play early but other than that nice job. UNC got 14 points off TO's. Nice job offense of finishing drives.....except for those last couple of ones. And man after that ugly end of the second quarter when the tables really turned, great job of coming back out in the second half and playing with energy and playing hard....and playing to win!

Wow did we need that.....it's a WIN!

Playoffs......did you say Playoffs??? (channeling my inner Jim Mora)

I don't think I'll be able to handle it if we lose today, man so many opportunities to totally have this game.

Kostich will learn to make a double safe punt rush....geezes!!!!

are you F**cking kidding me!!
