I am much more confident with South Dakota at home then ISU on the road. This week is the bigger game of the two.

Problem is, you lose to either a 1-7 (ISU) or 2-6 (USD) team, and you then ultimately lose your spot in the playoffs. Bubba and UND need to get the job done. No excuses.

Profound.  You stay up all night thinking about this because you care more than anyone.

Not after defeating NDSU in Fargo.

Now that would be a fabulous - and interesting - set of circumstances.

Nope. You’re wrong again.

Weather forecast for Saturday looks rough. Wind gusts in the 40's and showers. Going to need to get the run game going. Whoever has fewer turnovers wins.

Looks they are averaging 124 yards/game on the ground and giving up almost 179. Hopefully a big day for Hoosman, Smith (hold onto the ball) and Ziebarth.

Red or Bo on the jet action?

We know the direction of the wind and if we are going to have crosswinds or head/tailwinds?

Looks like from the south.

South wind with a NW/SE oriented field,

so a little bit of both.

Hopefully our o-line can open the holes against their d-line.

I guess that is at least one good thing about most of our passes being short, maybe still be able to complete some of those.  If it is that windy.....and some showers, that sounds like about as bad of conditions as you can get.  Definitely have to hang onto the ball!

Get the big fans and fire hoses out for practice

is it grass or turf field ?

[SiouxFan100]

I would like to believe that we can move the ball in the air and on the ground.

Practicing outside today in GF would offer a reasonable facsimile.

I don’t trust Tommy throwing into a strong wind. He’s a finesse thrower without a very tight spiral. Kinda like manning. And he had major struggles in weather games.

[The Sicatoka]

The coin toss and having the wind in the fourth could be a big factor.

We may have to watch those long WR screen type passes out wide in the wind if there are any defenders close to line of scrimmage 

The scramble drill type of pass plays may become pretty dicey.  Seems like on a lot of those he has to loft them in there, and generally does so perfectly....but with a 30 mph wind those perfectly lofted type of throws could hang and get picked.  

Maybe we see a bit more of Quincy in for running, or maybe even Romfo for a play or two.  That said, don't get too cute unless you really need to. 

[UND-FB-FAN]

Name of the game is run the ball and stop the run. Who can do it better?

[SiouxFan100]

Our d line has to be the better of the two and I think we will do well against their running game.

Is Feeney still on the team?
