Popular Post Longtime fan Posted November 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hard to believe that Richmond has put 18 players on IR. Considering that there is 22 starters between the D and O....just wow! Almost an entire new team from their first game of the season....just crazy. This is obviously the most talented team UND will have played all year. It's big boy ball now...no easy outs and Richmond brings in a talented athletic battle tested team and a fantastic coaching crew. Playing in the caa they see great teams every Saturday and bringing anything less than their A game for UND, they won't be leaving the AL with a W. Cant afford those first half flounders.....need a complete game Keys to victory: (nearly everything) 1. Attack their newbie qb!! Talented young man but need pressure from every angle. Need to contain his running abilities as he looks to be very athletic and elusive. Our olb are basically converted safeties that are not big but bring the athletiicsm to the edge. The caa has massive dudes in the trenches, I feel this is our best opportunity to exploit their offense is with quickness and aggressiveness on the edge. 2. Need to shut down their running game. Obviously this is what UND is known for and I feel UND will do an admiral job for the most part, but to make them one dimensional and have them rely on newbie to beat us gives us the best chance. 3. What effects will three weeks off have? Hopefully getting healthy is the answer rather than being rusty. Our offense had injuries everywhere the last three weeks of the season. If Luke Stanley is back, this would be massive. Sure handed but more importantly, he is a tremendous downfield blocker, hope he is healthy. 4. Richmond is fantastic against the pass. Well our mojo is running. If our guys up front are healed up, I like our chances to run effectively with Brady and Santiago. I believe if und rushes for around 200-250 yards, they are victorious. 5. 12th man. We need the 12th man to step up. Against n zona, when the crowd was "lit" n zona had troubles. Being contained, Dome noise is amplified and annoying, we need to be loud !! 6. This is UNDs first postseason game.....it's a different animal than regular season. UND can not afford to come out flat,scared, etc.....Richmond has been here before and knows what it takes. Confidence, confidence,confidence!!! 7. Most importantly......win the TO game. Cant wait for Saturday!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77iceman Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Proud of this UND team. To think that just a few years ago they were 3-8. All I ever expect from the F'Hawks is 60 minutes of playing their hardest. They'll never let us down by giving up. Not their style. I watched the Spiders play yesterday and it was a pretty hard game to gauge. NC a&t looked just tired and beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have all been waiting for this game a long time! I have a couple Denver area UND Alums I went to school with coming over to watch this game. These are traditionally hockey only fans, very nice to see them broadening their UND support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will stick with commenting on this site. Why would any UND fan even want to participate there? NDSU folks hijack any conversation that mentions UND before we even get a chance to see it. Most AGS'ers have a toxic view of UND purely because of the narrative that NDSU rubes push over there...I guess that's what happens when tractors drive themselves and the farm folk have extra time on their hands...hahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, UND will likely be playing a tight game right to the end, but it's okay to have a little confidence that UND might win by a wide margin. UND football and its supporters have work to do in terms of lifting their expectations. Bubba has adjusted by openly mentioning national championship aspirations (I definitely applaud him for that), now it's the fans' turn. Go Hawks! Go for the big win!!

I'm all for having high expectations...but I'm not going to call any FCS playoff game a cakewalk...especially when we are making our first ever appearance. Richmond is a good team and their young QB is talented...they will be a tough out for us...as will any team we play from here on out...

I love hoping UND is a championship contender, but I'm not so delusional as to think this will be a tough game. I'm guessing Bubba feels the same way and is expressing that to the team all week.

Popular Post SiouxFan100 Posted November 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2016 To be blunt. Time for UND to put up or shut up about the strength of the Big Sky. About where we are as a program. This is a game we are supposed to win. I expect to win this game. Don't care if by 1 or 40. We want respect. We have a chance to get some. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSioux Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 If winning 9 games in a row and being Co-Champs of the Big Sky doesn't get us respect from some - then they are among those that will never respect us. We beat Richmond and they will say - you beat a team without it's starting quarterback. With three week rest we should be at a peak. I am confident not arrogant that we win this game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND08 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I have no idea what to expect Saturday...as this is completely uncharted territory for this team. That being said I'm hopeful we come out and play our best football of 2016...and that effort is enough to allow us to move on. That's all I can ask for at this point. we are down to the final 16 teams in the FCS...I'm not going to write off any of them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMeister Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 The Arnell family should have a memorable Saturday. Would be interesting to hear how they plan it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
