UNDColorado Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I have a feeling this will be a close game, or closer than it should be. Quote
gundy1124 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Said we were excited about the drake win lolMore excited than the combined score of 132 - 8 that his team showed against Boise and UNLV......Kramer gives me the creeps - 2 Quote

geaux_sioux Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 We need some serious ball control in this game to keep them cold and out of rhythm. They will gash us if they have the ball too much. Quote

homer Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I have a feeling this will be a close game, or closer than it should be. I'm real nervous about this game. Idaho St. apparently has some talent and just haven't been able to put it together this season.On the other hand, Kramer comes across in his interviews as having no respect for UND. 1 Quote

Idaho St. apparently has some talent and just haven't been able to put it together this season.On the other hand, Kramer comes across in his interviews as having no respect for UND. Agreed, not too impressed by Kramer. Kind of a, "Yeah, they play well, but they aren't dominant, their not special" kind of mentality. Reminds me of the Wyoming defender that was asked about Santiago running all over them who said, yeah he didn't do anything special.Not saying we're a great great team yet, we still have a long ways to go, but I think at 4-1 we have done a pretty good job so far.That being said, our D needs to step up big time this weekend, and our O needs to finish their drives. I could see this game being closer than it should, but hopefully the guys take the momentum of last week, and coming home and put up some big points early. Quote
UNDfan2013 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 I am nervous too. ISU has some offensive talent and if they get some things to go right, they could surprise UND. Our defense must be on fire and I sure hope that Cole will be ready. If not, I believe in next man up, just a little nervous of our secondary with their QB/WR ability. I hope to be impressed with our D and really want the offense to continue to improve this game, control the game and hold onto the ball. We are going to need points to win. Quote
RapidSioux Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Play our game on D and don't put the d*#m ball on the turf and we should be just fine. 1 Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Time for a statement win. There has been nothing but close wins thus far, and although a win is a win, a big homecoming win by 14 to 21 points would be great. Idaho State is 1-4 and has lost handily on the road to teams like UNLV and Cal Poly. Heck, even Portland State - who UND just defeated - went into Pocatello and beat up on Idaho State, winning by 20 points. This is a must win. UND must first secure the W, but if they get the chance, they also need to make a statement and win convincingly. Run the ball for 300+ yards on these guys, control the time of possession, and come away with touchdowns, not field goals. UND's defense needs to just hang in there and force some turnovers (no big plays like last week's first play); make the Idaho State offense nickel and dime it - they will eventually make a mistake. That mindset requires solid safety play though...... Quote
ericpnelson Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Offensively, it's obvious that holding onto the ball would be a heck of a step in the right direction. Second, penalties. I think the refs were a little loose with the whistle during some drives, but it'd be great to cut them down/out. I'd like to see timing routes worked out. Curls, slants, outs, hitch type stuff. Seems like we are bit off on those. I don't know if its communication or lack of familiarity there, but if we could get those for 4, 5 yard gains, I'd feel a lot better on third and mediums. Lastly and personally, I wouldn't hate more Olivera 6 yards after contact runs. Defensively, just hold it together the injuries. Can my key to the game be Reyes not being hurt? Rich was a favorite of mine, so I'm worried there, yet hopeful Mr. Baker will step in. Hopefully Idowu is ready to go, full speed. If they do a bunch of quick, timing routes, would I be wrong to say that our OLB need a big deal? An Anthony Barr at the end of the first half type pick would be nice. That's what I'm looking for this weekend. Quote

We can't lose to a team that got smoked 80-8 to UNLV, and UNLV could of scored 100. If we finish drives with touchdowns we'll be OK. If we are kicking FG's, then it's a toss-up. 1 Quote

geaux_sioux Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 It appears O'Brien will be taking over for rich. He has had some meaningful reps over the past couple weeks and has looked pretty good. I like his quickness and nose for the ball. He's not as big but we'll see how he does as a starter. I'm excited to see who steps in as the new top backup. Quote
CMSioux Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 So far every quarterbackl we have played has left the game at least for awhile with their bell rung -- I see that string continuing. Quote

the cornerback teacher Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 I say one of the back up cb bubba has created a great competition between cb. He's a good Coach ! I came to a couple games last year ! Quote
Sioux94 Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 Not sure who will or won't be ready to play this weekend, but I was thinking the other day that we could possibly have 8 guys that would have been considered starters to open the season that won't be playing this weekend due to leaving the team or injury. Here I thought we had the injury bug last year and got that out of the way. Quote
