Let's hand NDSU  their first loss of the year!!! They have nothing to play for.  They are 9-0. Let's Go Hawks!!! Plus as always my pregame, Score prediction and Player Feature will be up Saturday on From The Stands To The Spotlight. 

NDSU is playing for home field advantage in the playoffs and to get the first goal of the season which is a conference title.

Even if NDSU loses this game they will be a 1 or 2 seed and have home field throughout the playoffs. And they have a share of the conference title locked up.

Agreed. Even if NDSU loses this game there is a very good chance they are still the 1 seed.

This years team 31 27 win

‘last weeks team 38 17 loss

F'N Hawks will have to score 40 to win this one. Payton and his receivers and tight ends will expose UND's coverage on the back end. UND will score points, just don't think they can score enough to keep up with Payton.

Possibly 2 if Montana goes undefeated. NDSU isn't losing to UNI or St. Thomas. An 11-1 NDSU team with the loss to a ranked team will be a top 2 seed.

If we can hang around and get the crowd into it, anything can happen in the Alerus Center.

In 2023 UND ran for 210. Gonna have to be around 150 or north of that to win Saturday....TOP will have to favor UND.

[AJS]

Payton is just way too good. That’ll be the difference. I think Jerry is a good QB, will be a great QB, but he’s not there yet. But, crazy things can happen at the Alerus.

Payton is a very good player; he’s also an overhyped product of the Fargo hype machine; he’s a Nebraska kid who shoulda stayed in Nebraska to play for the Huskers as a PWO. UND will expose him. LGH

Have you watched our secondary play pass coverage?

Yes. We have good players that will get their hands on several balls. I’m guessing might even get a pick six.

In a sentence or two, can someone succinctly convey the mood of the South Dakota thread post game?  I don't have the heart to go through the whole thing.

Its hate week, im not seeing enough hate. They show no respect to us and never will no matter how successful we are so there so be zero respect shown to them. In 2020 the NDAC fans were awful to be around even when we kick there butt so I will never so any respect to them. I hate them with ever fiber of my soul. This UND team is better then the team in 2020, plus the Voodoo Center is at an all time high with its dark magic. We have a better then punchers chance. In the words of the great John Henderson "if you're going to hit a Mother F'er, you better hit that Mother F'er". That's the energy we need this week.

Complaining, saying the season is over, critical of Jerry and special teams especially the sp coach. Normal stuff. The season isn't over, Jerry is still in his first year starting, they atleast benched the other kicker our new kicker is perfect so far, but all the other special teams fell apart now.

Walker will play this week no matter what, I dont see him missing this, hes an older player who just transferred in this yeat but completely understands what this game means.

Remember when bubba said 2 people will be nervous, their QB and his mother.  Let’s make them both nervous this week.

Then make their backup QB nervous

Hit his hard and alot, even late if you have too, get in his head say stuff to him. If he steps out of the pocket he needs to be thrown to the ground every play.

Thanks. Pretty much what I was expecting, but you never know.  Season's definitely not over, but that game did probably cost us some playoff seeding spots.  And humbled my expectations.  And amped up my dread that no one will be able stop NDSU from winning the championship.

Pretty hard when we just dropped a egg

[AJS]

We'll see, last week's disastrous performance, could be the best thing for this week.

 Here's what I know. UND has a good defensive team, period. Solid offensively and Jerry is still growing. I genuinely mean this; I couldn't be happier with where this new era is on November 3rd of 2025. Seed is still very much possible. NDSU is beatable, but it'll take a clean game from the offense and ST's. Here's the thing, a team doesn't have "it" until it does. Why not this week?

I see a lot of tickets available in the end sections 

$86.50 is a tough sell for those seats

i doubt walk up buyers are willing to pay that price
