Oxbow6 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 UND opens as 13 underdog vs Poly. 64 point total. Still no respect. we need to earn this one.Agree on the no respect comment. Home field nets that team -3. This basically says Poly would be a 10 point favorite on a neutral field and a TD favorite AT UND. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Idk about taking the over though.... I'm not sure we'll put up 50 on these guys. 2 Quote
Nodak78 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Since they like to go on it on 4th down, if they get 3 ypc they can pile up a lot of yards. We need to shut them down on first and second down. Most teams in the Big Sky don't have good run defense so Poly offense works well for them. Assignment sharp and fill the holes is the order for the day. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Lots on 1 on 1 tackling in this game. It's the key, if we fail it could be a long day. Quote
Nodak78 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Lots on 1 on 1 tackling in this game. It's the key, if we fail it could be a long day.Totally agree with that. The clips you posted show some poor one on one tackling. We need some hard hits like Reyes did sat and jar the ball loose. Quote
Teeder11 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) I see one of their workhorse running backs who's played in all 10 games so far almost came to UND this past fall. DJ Peluso (7.3 avg per carry, 1 TD and 29 long) had UND on his short list with Poly coming out of JUCO. Edited November 17, 2015 by Teeder11 Quote
siouxfan512 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 Totally agree with that. The clips you posted show some poor one on one tackling. We need some hard hits like Reyes did sat and jar the ball loose.Given the type of offense they run, I see Ratelle and Reyes having huge games. Ratelle needs to be big on 3rd downs. I still say the field position battle is going to be critical in this game because Cal-Poly is not afraid to go for it on 4th down. So we need to keep them out of 4 down territory as much as possible, and at least keep 4th down opportunities to long yardage. It would also help to shutdown a 4th down attempt or two and maybe make them re-think going for it the rest of the game.I have a good feeling about this game. Unfortunately, I'm really nervous about what happens to us at 7-4. On paper we have a good win against Portland St and Wyoming, and we would be riding a 3 game win streak, but (as the spread for this game shows) we have no respect yet. It would be really helpful to have Montana, E Washington get knocked out, and if N. Arizona loses, then I believe we jump ahead of them. All we can control is winning, but it would be nice to get a little help too. Quote
jdub27 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 It comes down to assignment football. In that situation, I really like the experience of UND's linebackers led by Ratelle. #Area51 #Ratackle Quote
ericpnelson Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I haven't seen them play, but just guessing off a team that passes as little as they do; getting them into 3rd and longs could be huge. Quote
Nodak78 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 The biggest concern I see is the last start. It will be close to bedtime. I hope our players adjust to the late start and not be sluggish Quote
geaux_sioux Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 The biggest concern I see is the last start. It will be close to bedtime. I hope our players adjust to the late start and not be sluggishThey're college kids used to staying up late. The advantage is getting a west coast team to wake up at 5am pacific for a noon kickoff at the alerus. That makes opponents sluggish. Our boys will be so jacked about the opportunity that I think it will be more about keeping them from getting too excited. Quote

I know I'm jacked. wow 2 years ago we were about to go on a journey to find a head coach. Just think 2 years. what a turn around. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Hopefully we have those Cali boys doing a lot of this at halftime on saturday Quote
Nodak78 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 After a couple hits by Reyes and Retells they just might be dreaming. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I really think we can bully their defense. Quote

Oxbow6 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I see the line has come down to 7 now, thats quite a move.That is because lots of people were looking to make easy money where the line initially opened. 1 Quote

Longtime fan Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 You guys have gotten no respect all season. Hope you tromp Poly and make the playoffs (along with the Griz) .Thank you. Griz are in without a doubt if they win. Cal poly will be a tough out, especially at home. Just hoping for no more injuries Quote
