Maag has had hammy issues in the past. I think at his best he's pretty fast and reports are his health is good right now. With his size he's probably moving faster than appears. Smith faster than Hoosman.

By the numbers. Combined NDSU/Duquesne/Dayton numbers for the Penguin(Dirty Birds) QBs is 37 of 67 (55% completion) for 523 yards. Average completion is 14.14 yards. Average yards thru the air is 174 per those 3 games. NDSU is really good, Dayton is really "not so good" and Duquesne is somewhere in-between, probably closer to Dayton than NDSU. The Dirty Birds threw for 248 vrs Dayton, 154 vrs Duquesne, 121 vrs NDSU. (9 of 24 for 134 yards vrs Kentucky, but not putting too much into that game) I would like to think we can give up less passing yards than Duquesne (154) and that should bode well for us. Rushing yards for Dirty Bird's QB position is 32 vrs Dayton, 23 vrs Duquesne, and -3 vrs Bison. So, the QB isn't going to run around all day like NAU or be a threat like Mo. State. Also good news for us, que Sack City. I think we can contain their RB and not let him beat us. The game probably falls on Danny and the Offense putting up some points.

No, just a 3.1 mile bridge to pay dirt. Same as his average YPC.

Mo. State hosts So. Ill this weekend, so another W or Quality Loss. Then a week off. Then whomever doesn't get arrested or drop out of school for Mo. State gets to play in the "FCS Way Too Much F'n Respect Bowl" (UNI vrs Mo. State) Prolly an Instant Classic!! Joe Protheroe is doing the coin flip.

Prolly looking at a 5-6 seed this season. Are the Bears the new UNI darling of FCS rankings?? We will see!!

When we win in 2 days I am going straight to "being seeded" with "1st round bye", 100%.

BUT........ 4.004 GPA. He could be Academic All-American with some hard work at study table. (comments totally not fair or targeted at this kid, just bashing the past trend)

When we play like it's our Super Bowl we can play with and beat most any FCS team. But it's hard playing up to that level every week. Sometimes you have to be good enough to grind out wins when it's not your best performance or your team is not 10 out of 10 emotionally, and we are not at that level. 2-2 could be 0-4 and I don't think you can argue that we could be 4-0, even 3-1. All things considered I expect a big bounce back, 10 out of 10 effort and emotion, and expecting a big W. We are literally Tarzan at home and more like Jane on the road.

How was that Eastern Washington athletic budget when he left? That probably wasn't #1 on his resume. Why make a lateral FCS move if you're Chaves, maybe to share his great hockey background? No wow factor besides staying awake at meetings. But luckily for the AD Interview committee you can always say, "Hey, at least I wasn't on the re-naming or branding committee"

I always thought Chaves was a sketch hire, just another in a line of bad AD hires.

Once you've made it into Power 5 and have success you don't come back. And as someone pointed out he's making just about 2X as much as Bubba.

Ya, there isn't a way to get better athletes in the secondary in a week or this season. It's going to be a little rough at times.

That's a stop.

Call on Siegal was BS!!

Right. It takes 3 years to learn our system.....meanwhile top FBS programs across the nation plug and play freshman every week.

We lost 2 starting caliber secondary players in the F'n portal, right??

It's like he had no arms.

Woof. We were in slow motion?

Perimeter run game sucking again this week. Up the gut is pretty good.

We hit page 2 of the playback, too.

Never really understood trips into the boundary. Anyone else? Nice scramble.

When UND throws zero passes in 2 years to TEs with their hand down what do we really expect??

The whole game is a highlight reel for SIU.

1 1st down. Offense is on pace to be ready to play with about 5 minutes left in the 4th.

Maybe we should take some notes.
