This is an excerpt from a Wayne Nelson article in Saturday's Herald:

UND's biggest health concern is quarterback Reed Manke, who played at Omaha after a three-week layoff because of a shoulder injury. Manke's left shoulder took a hard hit on the last play of the game at Omaha.

Bulldogs in an upset by 3 :)

(and no I'm not like that Winona goober talking smack....which oh by the way Bemidji beat them 28-7 :D

I am a Bulldog fan)

UMD's quarterback is banged up and can't move well, their offensive line is young and struggling, and they still don't have a running game. If the Sioux don't win this game comfortably, I will be very disappointed.

Is UMD still running that modified "run and shoot" or is that gone to Mankato?

I don't think it's quite as extreme as it was last year, or as MSU-Mankato is doing this year. Looking at the stats, it appears UMD passes about two-thirds of the time.

I wonder if Bubba is gonna freak out like the last time his team played in the Alerus? :)

Seriously, I think UMD is kind of a disappointment this year. I expected them to be one of the top 3 teams in the NCC this year. The bye week couldn't have come at a better time this year, as far as Manke is concerned and Taylor Murray on the offensive line. At home, coming off that heartbreaker to UNO, I expect UND to win by 21.

Lennon said on the radio this morning that UMD's offense would be very similar to MS-Mankato's offense.

With the change at QB I'll adjust my prediction. Looking forward to heading up to the game today. I think Belmore will keep it close :D . Chappel goes for 150 yards and UND wins by 10.

I think Wayne Nelson's prediction is a good one--UND over UMD 26-13. With Belmore playing, it seems like the Sioux always score somewhere around 20 points, give or take about six.

Duluth doesn't like to run with only averaging 60 yards a game. UND stops the run, but knows Duluth passes a lot. I expect our defense to play with the linebackers dropping back more. I also think Bubba will throw a wrinkle a run more than usual. Even if it is the QB doing it.

So is this the official game thread?

I just assumed that a thread with the title that this one has would be the game thread. I didn't even see the other one until you just pointed it out.
