Tangolou Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 There is sure a boat load of optimism for this season and this game especially. Remember, we were not very good at anything last year. I don't know anything about this Mississippi Valley team but I do know that if we aren't significantly better than we were a year ago, we won't beat anybody by 50 points. I'll take the under.

Every time geaux sees something stupid he thinks of you. If you’re living rent free in his head it’s in a certain part of his head that is not flattering. Albeit rent free so enjoy your 3 hots and a cot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm.....a QB that has a stronger arm and is more accurate, an All American d-back that will be playing this year that wasn't last year along with many other starters that were out last year due to injury, a running back committee that loks to be very good this year. So yeah, I beg to differ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkoHawks Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I would say if you had to compare our team right now to any game last year, it would be the Missouri State game. If you use that game as a reference, it shows that we should be able to handle this team easily. We were able to beat a team by 34 that went in on the road and beat a team that beat MVSU by 52 points. Granted it is only a few games, but on paper this one shouldn't be close. I know they are hoping to be an improved team, but so are we. Now let's just show up and play a clean game. Scores from 2017 (home team bold) UND 34 Missouri St 0 NDSU 38 Missouri St 11 Missouri St 36 Southern Illinois 28 NDSU 72 MVSU 7 Southern Illinois 55 MVSU 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should win. But we don’t know enough about what they currently are to know what they’ll actually bring to the table on Thursday night. Who knows how improved they’ll be if at all? I’m very curious about this with how secretive they’ve been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veer? Option? Spread? Pro set two back? *If a team changes away from the Run and Shoot does that mean their old offense was the Ran and Shat?

nodak651 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Their QB, Chris Fowler, doesn't appear to be too bad. He had ten attempts vs NDSU and completed 6 of them, for 60% completion percentage (one int.) The other QB's combined for 1 completion in twelve attempts. I expect them to put up nearly 200 yards passing, as they did against Southern Illinois last year, and Chris again completed 60% of his passes.
