Fighting Hawks vs Seawolves predictions

[Nodak78]

2 weeks from yesterday is the Seawolves will host the Fighting Hawks.

 

Sooooo  give me your predictions.

Stoney Brook had one of the best defenses in the national last year.  UND had a difficult time getting first downs let alone scoring.  2 years was an intense defensive struggle for both teams. 

Well  that was 2 years ago.  The Fighting Hawks has more depth and play makers than 2 years ago.

The Seawolves will not let us score 40+ points like the last three games last season.  So we will only score 27.

The Fighting hawks have a defense to be reckoned with.  Especially an grind it out team like the Seawolves.   Our DL and LB put up a stone wall on Stoney Brook.  Tackles for Loss with  be a staple.  Sacks and turnovers will put our Offense in scoring position.  Stoney Brook 10.

OK 27-10 Fighting Hawks #leavenodoubt.

For me it is just trying to wrap my head around what exactly are "Seawolves" and how I can ease the recurrent image of the new UND logo that repeatedly flashes thru my mind......but with all of that said UND wins unless SB puts out a defense similar to that vaunted one they had that was only behind 'Bama during the '14 season.

They're a species that may soon be extinct in Anchorage. 

On the east coast, they're just endangered.

24-10 fighting hawks... #leavenodoubt

Their D-Coordinator said they had a player last year that could shut down an entire half of the field on the run game.  They don't have him this year but he went on to say how fast his defense is.  If we can get a push on our first series things will go well for us.  Our pass game could be a threat this year too and we will get Santiago in space.

Stonybrook ended last year with 3 wins, too, but pretty much the bottom of the barrel for competition.  Howard sucks, Rhode Island sucks, and another pretty crappy team.  They have a legit WR and they should test our secondary if they were smart.  I don't think they'll run the ball on us.  From 2 years ago we are much improved, and I think SB will be better, too, Expecting a good game but bottom line, we are too much for them to handle.  23-13 (more FG's than touchdowns)

I only predict that I will be very unhappy if I have to reset my broadband modem more than once during the game.

[TBR]

OK, I guess I'll guess.

UND 30, SB 14

[Longtime fan]

17-13 und.   Und will need a full game to work out all the cobwebs.  

[DB Cooper]

Defensive game. UND 14-13. Final drive for UND to go ahead with the Xtra point

Seawolves vs Fighting Hawks.  Sounds like a Syfy channel movie.

funny . . . UND defensive coordinator could say the same thing.

[SWSiouxMN]

UND 27

SB 13

Keaton with 250 total yards, John 150+, Brady 75+ Defense gets 3 sacks and a turnover.

 

 

[Hawkster]

17-14 Hawks  We seem to struggle early on against weak opponents.  Remember Drake last year.

[shep]

20-9, Hawks

[forksandspoons]

38-14 F Hawks 

[77iceman]

28-24 . . . this one could be close, but Hawks by a hair (or should i say by a feather).

[Sioux94]

I had it UND 24-14 the other day on the thread, will change that slightly to 24-13 as I don't think we'll let them in the end zone twice.

[darell1976]

First game of the year on the road. Santiago rushes for 175 yards and 3 TD's.

Fighting Hawks 31

Seawolves 14

[Siouxphan27]

UND 42

SB.     9

[UND-FB-FAN]

Not going to predict a score right now, but just going to issue a reminder that this is UND's first game since last year's embarrassing screw up by the FCS playoff selection committee. 

If Bubba's squad is as pissed of and anxious to play as I think they are, Stony Brook may have no chance in this one. I'm thinking this is going to be like the Cal Poly game last season; UND explodes out of the gates and wins easily.

Hi everyone. Just an SBU fan passing through. In the interest of accuracy, the Seawolves were 5-5 last season with a convincing win over New Hampshire.

Also, we only had 10 results due to the loss of a final at FBS Toledo where we trailed by 3 in the 3rd quarter before an electrical storm of biblical propotions cancelled the balance of the game.

We are looking forward to a challenging game with a strong opponent.
