SWSiouxMN Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 As my Football coach from my old high school would say: We don't *bleepin* lose on homecoming.Lots of storylines going into this week as they host the Fighting Jared Allens. Opportunity to match the win totals of overall record and conference records next year.Pack the Alerus. 4 Quote
darell1976 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 At least one thing is for sure ISU can't back out of this trip like they did after we beat them in 2008. 1 Quote
bincitysioux Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 The Bengals were giving up 217 rush yards per game BEFORE they got routed by Cal Poly yesterday. Poly, with their triple option, racked up 499 rush yards against ISU. I think that bodes well for North Dakota given how they have run it the last two weeks. However, ISU's pass heavy offense could be a challenge. Quote
BigGame Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 At this point I fully expect UND to play well and win but I think Idaho State does some damage through the air. Quote
Sodacker Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 I really like how the schedule is set up for us here on out. Getting Idaho state before the Montana schools, to give us a chance to hopefully work out some pass defense bugs while still winning should be nice. Then finishing the season against cp, who we should match up best of the top teams against, should propel us into the playoffs nicely. Quote

If we can get through October without any more major injuries we have a bye week before UNC and Poly. The late bye my be huge for this team. Quote
Risky Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Let's just keep winning. Who knows. Maybe we will play another game in Fargo this year. Or maybe they will come to Forks this time. You never know. Quote
homer Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Should be another good week of quotes from a head coach. Coach Kramer calls it like he see's it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f0Ynzy2cZW8This game makes me nervous. We need to get off to a fast start and keep these guys down. Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 If we can get through October without any more major injuries we have a bye week before UNC and Poly. The late bye my be huge for this team.Heck, this team could use a bye week now. Yesterday really beat up this team. Looks like RB Iwarri Smith, LG Brandon Anderson, LB Taj Rich, LB Dayo Idowu, and S Cole Reyes all got banged up. With Idaho State and their pass happy offense coming to town, the availability of Reyes is likely the most critical. Unfortunately, though, all five of those players are key contributors. Let's hope for a positive week of healing! Quote

Cal Poly gashed Idaho State on the ground last night. Keys to the game are UND's running game/time of possession to keep Idaho State's offense off the field, and when they are on the field, the crowd needs to get into it and assist the defense as they get pressure on Idaho State's QB. Sack City needs to be present on Saturday! Quote

We need to fill the Alerus and be loud and proud. Defense need stop make Idaho State 3rd and long all day and Fans on your feet. Quote

nodak651 Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Does anybody know their injury situation? Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Appears to be a "GREEN-OUT" game. From an obvious perspective: wear kelly green to this game.From a less obvious, and perhaps speculative, perspective: the team may be wearing all green as well (green helmets, green jerseys, green pants). Quote
siouxfan512 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Love that our team is looking so improved. We still have a long ways to go, but it is great that it is Monday morning and I'm already looking forward to Saturday because of UND Football. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 In this game it is imperative that our run game dominates. We need to keep the defense fresh and their passing game on the bench. They cannot be allowed to get in sync. It's a lot like what teams had to do against us when we chucked the pigskin. Quote
siouxfan512 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 This is a must win game. A team moving in the direction of this team cannot afford to lose a game and take a step back. One game at a time, but this team does have a nice opportunity to make big strides over the next two week with two winnable games. I know we're not there yet, but there is a legit possibility we could be 6-1 heading into MT. That would not have even been a conversation at the beginning of the season.Anyway, time to focus on Idaho St. Between a winning 4-1 program and homecoming, I am hoping the Alerus will be nice an crowded on Saturday. Get the run game going, and keep the defense fresh.Pretty pumped for Saturday! Quote
UNDBIZ Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Our play at home thus far this season has been somewhat underwhelming. Time to change that with a statement win over ISU this weekend. Everybody get your green on! Quote
UNDColorado Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Everyone who posts on here who lives within 100 miles better be there on Saturday! Quote
UNDBIZ Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Everyone who posts on here who lives within 100 miles better be there on Saturday! Beet season will keep some away, unfortunately..... Quote
UNDColorado Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Beet season will keep some away, unfortunately..... Ahhh yes it will. Anyone not harvesting / hauling better be there! Quote
siouxfan512 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Everyone who posts on here who lives within 100 miles better be there on Saturday! Won't be able to make the trip up from Minneapolis, but I'll have my green on. Can't wait to watch! Quote

From an obvious perspective: wear kelly green to this game.From a less obvious, and perhaps speculative, perspective: the team may we wearing all green as well (green helmets, green jerseys, green pants). I haven't seen anything about it being a "green out". However, I would love to see the green pants at home with the green jerseys!! Man I sure hope all those greens match!!! Quote
