The WR screens, all 120 of them, were just setting up the deep balls that will come this week.  It was all part of the plan.........

When a DB never has to worry about the top part of the route tree, how much easier is coverage?

[SiouxFan100]

It really is amazing how few down the field passes we attempt

Easier yet if you don’t worry about having to cover TE’s.

I feel like we win this game convincingly at home and have to travel on the road next weekend like a lamb to the slaughter 

[CMSioux]

If we win we host.

I hope you are right it would be huge for the team to play at home

This bugs me about our offense because we have very capable tight ends. 

[SiouxFan100]

No way we lose this one

I know we are not going anywhere in the playoffs, so my silver lining is an NSDU loss.

I'm with you, no way I'm rooting for NDSU tomorrow.  We aren't getting a win past the 1st round anyway, I want to see NDSU lose and not get a seed.

Never say never but the only schools that historically have put in more aggressive bids are either likely to be seeds or teams we can't play in the first round. Very confident UND’s bid was aggressive again.

Approximately what decade can we expect to be good enough to where we don’t have to worry about bids?

Go undefeated and there's nothing to worry about, blah, blah but between that, the 2015 screw job and the faux seed for Weber last year....it's beyond ridiculous. Add in a few hockey things (BU at Scheels, overtime game against UMD) and when rules and standards need to be changed after the fact and you're on the wrong side of every one of them, not sure what to say anymore.

yet didn't danny before the year started say in an interview that we need "chunk plays thru the air"...or something to that effect ????

Will post in tickets thread as well have 2 extra tickets for the taking if anyone can use them today.

[forksandspoons]

Let’s go Hawks! Find a way to win!

[SuhakiYeahYeah]

GameDay! 

[Irish]

My prediction - our offensive play calling and defense will straighten out today and we will play a great game.  Good mix of calls to keep the opponent guessing.  But true to form these changes won't last and very soon - probably early in the playoffs - we will revert to the game management that drives us all nuts.  

[HoopsFan03]

I don't feel great about the game today

[cowboys5xsbs]

Well let's hope for the best we usually show up at home

Any crowd predictions?

8300ish actual.......but official will be higher due to empty season ticket holder seats.

[forksandspoons]

Hope those in attendance will be loud!!

[gfhockey]

I’m guessing 7000 7500

[Oxbow6]

Tailgating crowd is decent
