Hawks eat Spiders prediction

[Nodak78]

Hawks. 31

Spiders 24

Special Teams are special. Hawks interception web haunts Spiders QB.  OL rules the day for Santiago and the Moose.  Stanley key receptions extends drives.

[Longtime fan]

Scary game...Richmond is a damn good team.   I think Richmond will get their passing yards (350-400) but as usual UND comes away with crucial TOs.  UND NEEDS.....NEEDS a full 4 qtr game......namely first half.  Rudolph better have his A++++++ game and the boys need to execute .....sharp and crisp!!    Prove we belong.  

What i would  like to see:

-Keaton healthy and "on"

-secondary keeping all the plays in front of them. 

- front seven making their rookie qb's life a living hell in ND. 

-offensively  50-55 total rushing attempts 

und 31-30 

[Sioux_FF]

hoping for a slugfest.   Good guys in green  17-14

[Oxbow6]

If UND can run for 150+......UND 24-20.

If not......Richmond 31-24

This will be the biggest challenge of the season.  Need to see our best game of the season.  

I am a little concerned about our freshmen WRs and their ability to get open today.  Hoping Murcer has a big day.  Need to throw for at least 200 today.  

Defensively, make them one dimensional and hopefully crowd noise is a factor.  

UND- 27

Richmond- 24

[Sioux04]

31-17 Hawks.  Four sacks, two picks.

[UND-FB-FAN]

If UND's defense is on and the crowd is loud, UND will give Richmond's young quarterback all he can handle. 

Offensive line needs to come out strong and get the running game going. Need big games from Santiago and/or Oliveira. 

UND 21-14 

[ChrisUND1]

31-20 UND

One punt or kickoff returned for TD by Hawks.

Bonus prediction: Most fans will have sore throats and swollen hands around 8 pm.

 

[Siouxphan27]

I hope we can get a lead so their young QB starts to press, scramble early, and force things.  Knock him around to the point his pre maturely molted exuvia is laying on the field by the early 4th quarter.   Then we control the clock and put the game away. 

UND.  23

Rich.   13

Maybe next near..... I won't have to be that guy

Spiders 32 - FHawkers 17

[UND Fan]

Hope I'm wrong.......

Rich     34

UND    24

 

[SWSiouxMN]

Said 27-21 UND earlier this week.  Going to stick with it.

The Moose and SantiaGO combine for 250+ rushing, Richmond gets a garbage touchdown late in the 4th. D gets 4 sacks

There's been a lot of talk of rust, and when any FB team looses after a break, rust is usually brought up. Now two weekends off is hardly heard of.  Many coaches openly admit they would rather not have a weekend off.  This team needed at least one weekend off, my feeling is we're much better off with 3 weeks to heal and prepare. This team should be ready and could surprise most.

Spiders  16

Hawks   31

[Sioux94]

I stopped making score predictions after the first 2-3 weeks and we've been on a roll since then, so not going to change that strategy.  Like many my keys are....OL getting a good push all day and Keaton is on for 4 quarters, if we do that I think we can pull out the W.

If Rudolph hadn't called so many passes when we were getting 4-5 yards per carry, I think we would have exceeded 150 yards on the ground. And perhaps even won the game.
