ramses Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 What a game so far. An easy 3 and out against UNA. Lueck returns the punt to the 35, then a 35 yd TD pass Bowenkamp to Lueck. 6-0 Sioux (missed the PAT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farce poobah Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 NICE!! 6-0 Sioux Getting up early is HUGE. If we're gonna win, keeping the crowd in the game will be essential. GO SIOUX!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman91 Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Guess deferring to the second half was a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 The noise in the Alerus just caused them to miss getting a snap off and backed them up 5 Let's do that a few more times. UNA punting again after a 3 and out, Lueck returns to their 37. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdahl Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 GVSU leads Texas A&M Kingsville 7-3 in the 1st. The Sioux had a nice series of grinding plays to cover the 20 yards. I'd say about 10 plays in the drive, keep their D on the field. One delay when they couldn't get the snap off changed a 3rd and G at the 5 to a 3rd and G at the 9. 27yd FG by Glas good. 9-0 Sioux.

jimdahl Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 UNA had an amazing long pass that set them up to score, probably the sweetest pass I've seen in Sioux games this year. The receiver (sorry, I didn't get his name) was awesome -- he was totally covered but just climbed over our guy to get the ball out of the air. We knew UNA would pull off a few of those big plays, so it's good that we're holding up well otherwise. UND held well from 1st and G at the 9 to leave UNA with a field goal. 9-3 Sioux. We returned the kick to our 45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Boy Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Sounds very intense in the arena. This is good. UNA offense is scary, with big plays like that. Great stop to hold them to 3. Sioux need to hold onto that ball for the rest of the game. Grind it out. taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramses Posted December 6, 2003 Author Share Posted December 6, 2003 Lueck and Ahlers are both injured on the sidelines during this UND drive. No details on the severity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramses Posted December 6, 2003 Author Share Posted December 6, 2003 Wisthoff received most of the passes with Lueck & Ahlers out, including the TD pass. 16-3, Sioux. Lueck left the sideline for the locker room Sioux held UNA to another 3 and out. That's 3/4 today, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisonfan1234 Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 It's 16-3 UND. UNA hasn't impressed me whatsoever. Everything i read said that this was an unbelieveable team that can't be stopped. Sure, they'er missing their top WR, but can he make that much difference? It's possible i guess. Still, this is clearly another case where southern football has been over-rated.

Smoggy Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 If we know this UND team, the second half will be a completely different game. That's what scares me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 If we know this UND team, the second half will be a completely different game. That's what scares me. If any team qualifies for the Yogiism, "it ain't over 'till it's over", this is the one. Nice that the defense is dominating so far, hope they keep it up.

Or have the Sioux have just been underrated by Bison fans all season? This game is FAR from over (remember Winona a week ago, and UNA is a LOT more explosive), but if the Sioux win I look forward to this week's version of "the Sioux got lucky" and "UNA isn't really that good" spin We need to keep running up the score while we're dominating, because we have their D pretty shaken right now; but I don't think it's going to last all 60 minutes. Count on the Lions getting one hell of a pep talk and the coaches making some big adjustments at half time. One thing that gives me some hope over the long haul of the game is that the Sioux are dominating based on their size -- we're just overpowering the Lions. A few adjustments on their part could counter that advantage, but nothing will make it disappear entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprig Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Glas with a 45 yarder. Except for the missed extra point, he's on target today. 19-3. No big plays for UNA before half. Third down sack with 1:30 left in the half. Maybe more points for the Sioux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakerFan Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 at halftime Grand Valley is up 14-3....TAMUK does not look good at all it should be atleast 21-3 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoggy Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Size is paying dividends offensivelly, but I'm worried about our defense. They are playing great now, but I expect them to be better in the second half. With yet another 3 and out by our defense, I wish we would've gone after that last field goal a little faster.

OETKB Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 So, does the definition of "destroyed" mean that we allow them to score 3 pts per half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Except for the missed extra point, he's on target today. It's worth noting that was a horrible snap and a botched hold by Bowenkamp. Halftime. I can't shake the feeling the Lions are going to come out with a whole new game at the half. Hopefully the Sioux can make a statement early, similar to the first half, to keep the momentum. Lakerfan-- I think I've actually seen why people think UNA has such a potent offense. No turnovers, they've had some beautiful passes, but the Sioux are just bigger and have read their plays well. Our pass coverage has been the best I've seen all year -- Hall is dropping 20+ yd passes right into receivers arms but our defense has broken them all up except one biggie. Their O line really can't contain our pass rush so far (again, the Sioux are just dominating the physical game so far), which is putting an insane amount of pressure on Hall; lots of plays resulting in lost yardage for the Lions. All it would take would be a slight breakdown in our coverage or the Lions' offensive line buying an extra second for a lot of those passes to start becoming complete and the Lions running up a lot of points in a hurry. Half a game to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprig Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I think we are playing very well, but I also think everyone underestimated us. Hard not to given the close games they've been in this year. Especially when it seemed that the NCC was down after the early season NC losses by several teams. Still, it's just a half a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
