I don't think this team will easily roll anyone. It's the playoffs.  

 

I'm all for rolling other teams and Bubba's team should be all for that also. 

But, I do agree that we should start with just securing the win first. 

GO UND FIGHTING HAWKS!

Now is not the time for piss and vinegar, fat and sassy, overconfidence. 

It's the playoffs. Every team is a threat.

It's also not a time to eliminate the fun. Football is yet a game; if you don't play to have fun and win (and potentially win big), you won't.

Now that I've said what I needed to say (see two posts prior), this is what I said while watching UR@W&M on Saturday:

Why do I smile at the notion of UND 22 and UND 5 facing a "run defense" like Richmond's? 

The game was still in reach for UR and yet they had no answer for W&M's one-man* running game. He was gashing them even though it was clear (single back, 12 or 13 personnel groupings) the run was coming. 

 

*W&M Kendall Anderson, 42 carries for 219 yards (plus 4 receptions for 42 yards).

This would be a very reason to meet NDSU in Frisco.  Then you would see some fence sitting.

After NCAA Selection Committee's Sunday morning announcement, we get to watch Richmond and A&T play each other this Sat. to visit us, Dec 3.

Richmond looks very athletic up front.  Hopefully the OL is rested and healed up. As always, we will go as they go.

Exactly. UND's offense is entirely dependent on the play upfront. Fortunately, I expect them to be rested up and ready to open big holes for Santiago and Oliveira. 

[BarnWinterSportsEngelstad]

Richmond sure is physical and quick
