geaux_sioux Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 This game is going to pit the two most inept Big Sky offenses against each other. Sioux win 16-10 Big difference their defense sucks. Although somehow they have 17 ints..... To our 5.... That's a lot. Good thing we all know chuck the pigskin guy didn't get hired and Bubba did. Quote
bincitysioux Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I think UNC and UND are going to be in two different states of mind on Saturday. North Dakota's fans, and more importantly its players, are still excited about the future under Coach Schwiegert. Even though it is the last game of 3rd consecutive losing season, the team is going to be hungry to improve and get another win for Bubba and enter the off season on a note of positivity. They are going to be intense, and will be playing with the same energy in this last game as they did in the first game. I think Northern Colorado is where we were at last year. Their fans seem to have turned against their coach. Their players are probably not greatly motivated. They are in the midst of their 11th consecutive losing season. I bet their fan base and their team just wants this season to be over. Having said that, they have also beaten Northern Arizona this year. Just two weeks ago we were embarrassed by Weber St. and we are 0-5 on the road. This game is going to have an in-your-face old fashioned NCC feel to it. Remember the last game in Greeley when the refs let UNC play with 12 guys against us to seal their victory? The forecast is for sunny and 54 degrees. So for anybody who is going, bring your nose plugs. Weather like that will bring out Greeley's aromatic attributes in full force.......... 1 Quote

Maybe UNC will re-hire Joe Glenn, he can then concentrate more on UND during his press conferences. Quote

They have a meat packing plant and we are hungry for a win, advantage us. I too am concerned about our team playing, or lack of playing, on the road. UNC runs multiple sets including spread, has a mobile QB, and a few talented WRs, none of which translates well for us. But, their O-line is suspect (kinda like the Griz) So, expect our D-line to be active and for the LBs to be making plays. Expect Schmitty to really attack, sack city here we come. If our DBs turn around on third and long we should be fine. Offensively I think we'll do OK. For 1, Rudolph gets to build off of last weeks successes. 2, we don't really have to worry about protecting our QB for the rest of the season, so I expect Studsrud to be active in the run game. All things considered: UND - 23 UNC - 20 Quote
Cratter Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 UND couldn't get up and beat a winless big sky team at home. I don't see UND getting up to play UNC on the road and winning. Two even teams with home field being the advantage. UNC 21 UND 17 Quote
UND92,96 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 UND only went winless on the road in one of Mussman's six seasons (2010). And although UND has really struggled away from the Alerus this year, I still feel reasonably confident that Bubba will find a way to get one road win in his first season. Quote
Matt Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 As excited as I still am about the NAU game, until the team shows they can win on the road I can't pick it. We've all been burned on this too many times around here. 21-17 UNC Quote
The Sicatoka Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Let me set up my statement: Last time in Greeley, Mussman, with 0:47 left, down one point and on the opponent 34, and facing 4th and 1, and with a kicker who's hit from 54 on that field (year before), rather than making a 51 yard FG attempt goes for it and fails. (That's the day I was sure Mussman had to go. I had to wait another 365 days.) So, my statement: I just want a better job of clock management and situation awareness than the last time in Greeley.

The Sicatoka Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I still stand by the calls on 3rd and 4th down that game. Third, yes (try the dagger shot). Fourth, no. Kick FG, take lead. You did it to win from 54 the year before. Compare end-of-game management of the 2012 UNC game to what we saw last week (2014 NAU). No question who I trust. (Hint: pick the game we won) Quote
geaux_sioux Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 The wind situation was the key factor, Into his face and swirling. Quote

Oxbow6 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I still stand by the calls on 3rd and 4th down that game. You should be fired too then! Quote
Oxbow6 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I trust The Zeb more than The Muss. "You are correct, sir"! Quote
jdub27 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Bubba gets his first road win and ends the year on a high note. 23-10 UND Quote
