SWSiouxMN Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I'm hoping for another dominate performance from the offense and a little bit more from the defense. I'll take UND by 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Not gonna predict. I know what the score should be, but what it will be comes down to preparation this week by the coaches/players and ultimately execution from the players on Saturday. Of note, NAU lost 38-3 to Arizona yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Lot of 2 score predictions, but I hope we win by 3-4 scores. Would like to put this these guys away without giving them a sniff at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, Bubba ball is designed to do just enough, so I wouldn’t be surprised if UND only wins by one score. UND absolutely needs to win this game (must-win).

In my case, shooting for the yeah it was two scores but it really wasn't all that close type of vibe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the current state of UND football aligns with your bubba ball comment. Back when our defense led the way I would have agreed but now I think our offense will put up a bunch of points and defense will hopefully continue to improve. I hope to see a dominant offensive effort, continued improvement on defense and significant improvement on special teams. My prediction is 41-whatever our defense can do. I’m not sure how many missed field goals and extra points are in that 41. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND Football Fan Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 This will see where our defense really is at with the D-Line and linebackers when it comes to pass rush. It’s tough on the secondary when qb has time and easy pass windows to throw in. If our defense is similar to last year it probably will be a two score win or even a nail biter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s see how it goes. Big game on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Teeder11 Posted September 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2023 Early scouting of NAU, I see: They Used 3 young QBs against Arizona . Millner #2 appears to be their primary signal caller and is more dual threat Flores #7 will also run on occasion. SMU drop down RB TJ McDaniel # 1 will be a handful, both as traditional running back and a receiver out of the backfield WR Owen #6 is back for more. Speedy with good hands Used much the same way we use Caden Dennis and Red. #17 freshman DB surprisingly good for such a lanky slight dude. All over the field. Good tackler and will be looking to wedge through to block kicks. Huge NT #90 is quick on the feet for his size. When not bull rushing the middle, he likes to stunt around left side. Defense has a propensity for stupid penalties of the 15 yard variety. 28-20 UND. With a tip of the hat to a loud and proud Potato Bowl crowd. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I like that you actually researched the opposition and I trust your judgement about them, but now I'm concerned about Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
