Gameday: UND vs NAU 1pm

[geaux_sioux]

Huge game. Great opponent. We need to do our part and be loud as hell all game on every defensive play. Our team is ready to take the next step.

[Siouxphan27]

I hope everyone gets loud and gets crazy today.  I don't plan on being able to talk again until sometime tomorrow afternoon. 

 

UND. 30

NAU. 27

[geaux_sioux]

Bringing the big guns to the tailgate. 24oz Labats for the win.

[F'n Hawks]

Kickoff team needs to execute today, no long returns.

[Oxbow6]

If Studs can go UND wins.

NAU is a one trick pony for the most part, and their pony is gone for the season so they are all out of tricks, also NAU doesn't play well on road, easy win for UND 31- 3 and share of BSC championship.

I've watched two of their games and they are a very good team. They ripped Weber apart to start the game and embarrassed the Griz.

I sure hope for this result. I am of the opinion that this will be a close game. If our crowd gets into it and helps out the defense, UND *could* run away with this one though. That is literally the "NDSU in the Fargodome" recipe for success. Don't believe me, ask our offensive players who played in last year's game vs NDSU. Here in Grand Forks, we need to replicate that kind of homefield advantage - its huge.

Montana and Weber defense can be put into the "Suspect" category with both teams only holding Sac St. down, but UND defense is not suspect with secondary being able to handle what NAU brings for passing and NAU offensive line will not control what UND brings in front 7 consistenly which will result in little ground gain and pressured passing. UND offense while not high flying by any means gets enough extra chances with punts and 2-3 turnovers that they run with it to a 31-3 win and share of BSC championship. Just saying.... but that is how it should play out with no mental mistakes on UND's part.

VB did its part, time for FB.

Call the banners. 

 

[SWSiouxMN]

Labat nearly had a pick 6...

[SWSiouxMN]

Keaton Looks healthy  :o

[SWSiouxMN]

Keaton hits Mercer on a deep throw... if he can keep his feet its 6, but still 40+ yards

[cowboys5xsbs]

Santiago hurdling :S

[cowboys5xsbs]

1st and goal UND at the 2.  Attendance looks crappy

my heart stops when he does that, I always fear a Javin Best scenario happening in that case

[cowboys5xsbs]

wow that was bad from 1 yard out settle for a FG

[SWSiouxMN]

disappointing to only get 3 on that drive, especially at the 1 yard line.  Should have rammed Brady in

[Sioux94]

Too bad Mercer couldn't have kept his feet......ugh.  Still a pretty good start but sure would have been nice to get 7 there.  Should have done play action on 2nd and goal and not wait to 3rd down.

[cowboys5xsbs]

Defense having trouble this drive 

[cowboys5xsbs]

7-3 NAU 

[SWSiouxMN]

NAU made that look too easy on that drive

[ChrisUND1]

Close to a hold on that pass that got them to the 1 yd line.
