Siouxperfan7 Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 UNI still ranked in the top 25. They are at #22). Quantum physics may be easier to understand than why they are still ranked!! 1 Quote

SlowHand Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Putting SHSU at #5 is a complete joke. They have the weakest sos I have probably ever seen. SELA, Nicholls and Lamar. Quote
siouxweet Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 These polls are a joke. NDSU is not the second best team in the country not with the QBs they have rumming out there. Noland would be lucky to make Mayville States program. Props to them for winning on Sat but they are a shell of their prior teams. Quote

The Sicatoka Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 The UND team that showed up Saturday still fears NDSU and the coaches called the game that way. Lose the fear; give due respect, but no longer fear. NDSU is beatable. Quote

My pure speculation: Massey looks at how well a defense keeps opponents below their scoring average. Notice UNI is holding opponents nearly 27 pts below average (26.97). And that is best in FCS. < shrug > Quote

I didn't sense the fear in the players, the coaches might have been a different story. Quote

My point was NDSU isn't what they have been the last decade. Noland is atrocious. Playoff game 2 minutes left down by 4, you trust him to lead you to a win? They won because of their o line and despite the QB play not because of it. Quote

The score was 21-13 in the third quarter. NDSU added a couple late scores the made the game look worse than it was. Just shut up and go home. NDSU football is bad for FCS football in general, and although 3/20/21 was not the day, the sooner UND can knock NDSU off their pedestal, the better for all of North Dakota and the FCS in general. It will happen. Good riddance. 3 Quote

They kicked a couple of field goals after that because they wouldn't throw because they didn't have to. UND was fortunate Zeb threw a couple of picks in UND territory early in the game or it would have been a 4 score game at halftime. Zeb won't be the QB the next time they play next fall. NDSU may get knocked off their pedestal, but it won't be by UND. 2 Quote

I'll agree they didn't have to throw, but I'd also feel comfortable saying after 5 games, they haven't shown any capability to do so. 2 Quote

siouxweet Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 The only thing missing from the NDSU offense right now is the option as they will be a run 98% of the time here on out because they sure as hell can't throw it. Where is Rocky when you need him Quote

I'm a biased, optimistic UND fan, but I'm calling it now: These two teams matchup in the playoffs this year and UND actually shows up to play and the end result is different. Then we will really here the "this season doesn't count" excuses fly from the bizon fans. *Will this happen, probably not, but I can dream. Quote

We need to win out and we will likely have higher seed than NDSU or SDSU which would mean home playoff games. Second shot in Grand Forks at Bison would be just fine with me. Quote
