JMU Predictions

[UND Fan]

UND    24

JMU    20

[UNDColorado]

I predict that I will be useless Monday morning!

[Hardcore Hawk]

If I predicted this game in March, I'd say UND by two scores. JMU looked very good in the first round, and their strengths play into our weaknesses. I can't see UND winning this. JMU 28, UND 21. 

[FlinFlan80]

JMU 31 - UND 13

 

Until we win a big one on the road......I can't.

[The Sicatoka]

Win or lose, one or more will be complaining about something that happened in the game.

I predict in the 3rd quarter when we have the ball close to mid field, Quincy goes in.....fakes a run and throws deep.  No prediction as to if it's complete or not

Same here.  Canady out will hurt in this one.  D line needs to be bigger/faster/stronger.  Missing speed WR.  We're about 3 difference makers short to hang.

JMU 27-24

Heartbreak city. 

[Mama Sue]

Well, UND dominance on both sides of the ball...not as strong and we will need to work. Some quality runs and receptions... too much to ask for a couple key interceptions snd how can we beat that number if QB sacks from the last game....a win but maybe not pretty.

[SIOUXFAN97]

24-17 hawks

[Sioux95]

We beat sdsu, the number one seed and did that after getting off to a poor start. We easily beat another playoff team that is still in the mix.  Jmu has had a couple games this year where they did not look very good.

28 - 17 UND.

Tommy will throw for over 200 yards and after the game people will complain that he isn't a big enough running threat and that somehow makes us one-dimensional. Ndsu's quarterback will throw for 50 yards and their fan base will think he is the next coming of Trey Lance.

[SIOUXFAN97]

not sure why people think that a REAL RPO threat with q and otis is a bad thing...kaulker could've hit maag and bo on those two throws last week....a running threat at qb could be a nightmare for DC's in this league...neither tommys arm or legs scare anyone...

tommy will have extend some drives with tight throws into coverage or break off a few 7 or 8 or 9 yard sneaks on third down...hope he makes them and i hope we win but a qb that won't / can't run is one less thing to worry about for those dc's

After watching JMU vs VMI and Richmond I think they may be over rated.  Good RBs but some holes in OL, QB is not super athletic, throws deep pretty well, but will fold when we get some pressure.  Defensively they have some holes and are small at LB.  

We get off to a good start and never look back.  35-13 UND.

I saw the LB are on the smaller size.

[SiouxFan100]

Until we do

I am concerned they will connect on some long bombs early like SDSU did that will mess up our somewhat suspect run defense 

28 - 14 bad guys

[Nodak78]

Not by how much but we will win.. pressure gets to the QB and we get a couple picks.  Maag has a couple big catches and Otis breaks a big one.  Tommy plays a very smart game.  Skokna makes a couple nice catches out of the backfield.

The highest ranked team they beat in this shortened season was Richmond at #15.  The 6-0 record looks good but the teams they beat would be extremely marginal in most of the FCS conferences.  We win 32-20 and if we don't, we played not to loose and it cost us.

[UND Football Fan]

My pessimism 26-31 chasing a missed extra point and needing a TD late to win...., however if we can limit their run game and not get hurt by play action pass. We could pull off the upset. 

[SiouxFan100]

I hope it doesn’t come down to us missing a short field goal or especially an extra point - we have put the anxiety back into easy

or we muff a punt reception 

or they block our punt

or we lose 15 yards on a trick play on offense to take us out of field goal range

or we run into their punter 

[Siouxphan27]

I predict we will dominate from the get go.  Three methodical, non flashy drives along with stingy defense to open the game result in a 20-3 lead. (Gotta have a missed extra point in there.). 
 

Then, midway through the second quarter, some siouxsports fans will start questioning why we are not putting all of our backups in and going 5-wide, throwing 65 yard Hail Mary bombs.   Is Danny inept?  Does Tommy not have the arm to make risky, unnecessary throws?  And why isn’t Bubba insisting TOP doesn’t matter, or trying to run up the score like he always does?  
 

In the end, a disappointing 43-10 UND victory as we stumble and sputter into the semifinals. 

[homer]

Run defense and coaching staff needs to prove a power run game like NDSU was a fluke and a game that spiraled out of control.  

WRs need to catch and hang onto passes when they are there.  
 

31-17 JMU

Good call. Very appropriate after reading this weeks posts, a couple times this joint reminded me of Bozovill.
