BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Which core group of players will be motivated to practice and execute a game plan after heartbreaking losses. Richmond would like to borrow NC's 3rd string quarterback. They seem the more talented but this will not be an easy game, their quarterback situation is a mess. The MEAC and SWAC have the Celebration Bowl. A&T played in it last year and received $500K plus $200K worth of tickets, which they are allowed to sell to their fan base and keep the $. The MEAC's playoff reputation has nowhere to go but up, they haven't won a playoff game since 1999. For UND this looks like the best play in pair on the table?

siouxstudent Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Richmond opens as a 13 point fav I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-1 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I believe A&T is down to their 3rd string QB. Both teams will have deep backups playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoHawks Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Wached a little bit of Richmonds highlights. That Lauletta (qb for Richmond) looks like a solid player. Too bad for his injury but glad that UND doesn't have to face him if Richmond wins their first round game. Didnt sound like the backup qb did very good after he went down.

Richmond would of most likely been a top 8 seed had they not lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoHawks Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Didnt sound like NC A & T backup qb did any better On the offensive side, N.C. A&T played without starting quarterback Lamar Raynard for the second straight game. Fifth-year quarterback Oluwafemi Bamiro, who led the Aggies to the FBS win over Kent State on Sept. 10 in relief and who won his start last week at Delaware State, had his struggles on Saturday. Bamiro completed only 12 of his 33 pass attempts and one touchdown pass and two interceptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Richmond coach Rocco said that in the playoffs, Clise and Chenault “will be the options.” Both played quarterback last Saturday, after Lauletta went out.

shep Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Richmond has a nice RB and I thought the D toughed it out last week as I watched the 4th Q of that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND1 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 UND just received an early x-mas gift by playing the winner of these two. I suspect we might be a bit rusty to start out but should easily roll either team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodak78 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 So I watching a replay of NC A&T vs NC Central. central must be a hawk mascot. I hear the screech after they make a good play. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxFan100 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 We have played great at times this year and we have played not so great at times this year. Hopefully we have healthy bodies and get players back playing. I am not smart enough to know if we will roll or not roll over these teams. I just want us to win - doesn't matter if we win by 40 or by 1. It would be nice to get a lead and relax a little so we can enjoy it more. I want us to play up to our potential. Let's have some fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 All new teritory! I'd say the 3 weeks rest is by far more important than a little accumalation of rust. Players may really be enjoying all this, being on the side lines as their soreness's disapear? Most injuries should be pretty healed by Dec 3rd. We are a remarkably much better team, healthy. The rust will all be wore off in the 1st Quarter, rather than, where in the game it's toooooo late to heal up. We should play ball like we belong there the rest of the game. If the crowd is near capicity, the rust could disapear during warm ups! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richmond is a 13 point favorite over NC and they literally do not have a QB. Their stud QB went down with a torn ACL,their other backup is suspended and the 3rd QB is out with a shoulder injury. Funny how you can be a 13 point favorite with no QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me UND is not really built to beat someone by a wide margin. We have more of a grind it out approach....don't make mistakes and make the opposition pay for their mistakes....and chew up the clock.

So sounds like their only options for QB this week are Clise (who went 0-2, 0 yds) who has a bad shoulder or their Freshman, Chenault (who went 1-3, 11 yds, and an INT). Yikes!!!
