AJS Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Season on the line in Springfield this upcoming Saturday. A win and the train gets back on the tracks, the program gets back to neutral. You don't want to sound too overly dramatic, but what does a loss do? Ends almost all hope if not all hope of making the playoffs. Then you can start to go down the rabbit hole a little bit about program momentum and where that is. UND has a good team, but it's a results driven sport. They need this win really bad. The major story lines for me: Red Zone offense. They have been almost inexplicably bad at getting points at times. They can move the ball between the 20's. If there ever was a week to turn that corner it's this one. Injuries. I did write before the Western game that my hope was anyone who was dinged up would sit. Double down on the fact that you can beat Western while getting guys healthy that were banged up. The amount of players that didn't play was startling. Hope there are a handful that will be ready to go this weekend. NDSU let down for MSU. UND saw it vs USD. Maybe that just is a thing, especially if you play them tough.

TBR Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hoping Maag is back and that his size presents red zone issues for the opposition defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSioux Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Winner of this game is one of the last ins - if they take care of the rest of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we run the table the rest of the way, we would be ranked #15 or so and easily be in IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maag and Richter out there at the same time could present an interesting dilemma for the MoSt. defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Side tangent.....if going to the game and you have a sweet tooth hit a Andy's Frozen Custard stand in Springfield. Ridiculously good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, think of them as tight ends whose size confers an advantage in the red zone where we need improved play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSiouxMN Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 They got to have this or else the season is done. I'm sorry, but I don't think UND at 6-5 is going to get in. 7-4 or bust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxFan100 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Our tall (I guess the word here is that they are slow?? ) receivers can be effective. There is a time and place for them. Would love to have them back playing. They are good! No need to put them down. Acknowledge that a burner or two would be welcomed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
