NDSU v UNI - Homecoming Rivalry Week!

[El_Chapo]

Well, lets get this thread started.
I hate UNI the most of all the teams we play.
All you have to do is look at some 2008, 2009 threads.
UNI will come in here ready to play and hopefully not throw 1 of our RB's into the wall!

Punish UNI on Homecoming, Show No Mercy!

[MNLonghorn10]

Could have shit weather Thursday- Saturday. Not sure if the ground is cold enough for it to cause trouble but something to think about if you've got to travel here

[123Gobison]

Bryce Paup the prodigal architect of UNIs lights out Defense is back in UNI after a brief stint with Gophers. This will be a touch matchup. Our Offense vs UNI Defense is going to be a all out , knock out , dog fight this year.

Yeah, I have a gut feeling that this game is going to be a barnburner. Maybe it's the Minnesota (pro) sports fan "expect the worst" mentality coming out but things are just rolling so well for the Bison after last Saturday I feel like there's a regression coming and UNI's defense is really really good... good enough to keep them in any game.

Hopefully, if nothing else, that's a successful reverse jinx.

I recall posters claiming ISU's defense was legit last week.

[23Bison]

As good as UNIs defense supposedly is (like ISU defense) I still think we win by 17. Their offense will struggle to do much and ours will move plenty but slowed a bit once we get to their 40 yard line. We’ll get our points but will have to scratch them out.

Bison 30
UNI 10.

[Bisonator98]

UNI looked pedestrian against YSU. I'm sure they will play us harder then anyone else per usual but I think we roll to an easy win.

[El_Chapo]

the Hatred is there. Farley will make sure of that.

[El_Chapo]

UNI panthers QB is more mobile than their past QB's, that will present a headache or 2. DE's will just have to go wide and push him inside if he wants to scramble.

[BisManBison]

He's mobile, but not very accurate on the move. And will make mistakes when under pressure, likes to throw off his back foot. I predict the Bison get 2 to 3 picks this weekend (if they play with some stick em this weekend) with one being a pick 6.

[THEsocalledfan]

This news seem relevant:


UNI coach Mark Farley just revealed at his weekly press conference that senior WR Jalen Rima is redshirting & has entered the transfer portal.

Farley said that "everyone deserves to have a good senior year" and "we wish him the best."

https://twitter.com/realColeBair/status/1181258734154256385?s=20

Hasn't been a big factor in their offense this year. Only one reception and a couple of kick returns.

Had 3 catches for 47 yards against us last year.

I wonder how many more seasons Farley will continue coaching. Their program is in a bit of a tough spot with basketball eating up all of the funding and NDSU/rabbits dominating the valley. Plus his sons are all graduated, maybe he'll stick around for awhile to get them starting in coaching careers.

Panther news - New plays with QB under center after TE injuries, different defensive line-ups etc......

3. New vs. old against NDSU

Along with a handful of plays from under center this past Saturday, the Panthers also showed new personnel groupings, pre-snap shifts and other wrinkles in their four and five-wide receiver sets.

Meanwhile, UNI’s defense continued to productively use its ability to switch between 4-2-5 and 3-3-5 schemes, using the former to shut down Youngstown State’s run game in the first half and using the latter to limit its passing game in the second half as it played from behind.

Farley has a pretty cushy gig by college football standards. He's the highest paid coach in the MVFC I'm pretty sure if not the FCS... working at his alma mater with the freedom to basically do what he wants with the program... he's not going to get fired, at worst just politely asked if he'd be willing to step down. I wouldn't guess he's in any hurry to retire or coach elsewhere.

He's only 56 with an over .600 winning percentage and a winning record in the playoffs. He can write his own exit when he wants.

[Bison03]

The weather terrorists are forecasting anywhere from nothing...to 2 feet and a blizzard on Saturday. Tailgating in a blizzard is something that hasn’t occurred at least in recent memory. Might only be the bus and camper tailgaters out in the lot as it would be a nightmare to be outside.

In his defense, he did his own contract during that brief stint as AD.

EVERYONE will be driving like southern-speed idiots when that first snowflake falls.

you can transfer to jacksonsville state or go cheer for a team down south.

Not everyone... there will be plenty driving 2 mph down the road creating just as much of a hazard as the crazies going too fast.

I'm starting to wonder if this weather will screw with UNI's team travel plans. I'm pretty sure they normally charter in on Friday and it looks like air traffic may be a mess then as well.

Agreed, traffic will be at snail pace if it snows

I fly home on Friday, so really hoping for no delays or cancellations when flying into Fargo!

Expecting a close game in this one, UNI will pull out all the stops!

Nebraska-Omaha was scheduled to play NDSU at Dacotah Field on Nov 2, 1991. A major winter storm hit the upper Midwest, but mostly south of Fargo beginning Thursday of that week. I was living in the Twin Cities at the time and we received nearly three feet of snow there. UNO was making the trip via bus and got stranded somewhere in SD. On Friday it was announced the game was moved to Sunday afternoon. By Saturday morning it was apparent that this wouldn't be possible either and the conference cancelled ALL games that weekend. Northern Colorado had flown into Grand Forks with no problems on Friday and the NCC cancelled that game also, even though Grand Forks missed the storm.

I don't remember if there was any refund.

[scottietohottie]

We're not messing around for this one. Pulling the kids out of school and heading down tonight. Some will attend a wedding Saturday. One won't. Go Bison!

A Man with a plan. Good for you. Last night my girlfriend asked if we would make the game on Saturday due to weather? I said well I will make the game not sure what you are doing. lol Plus I said you better make it or I have to find someone to go to Vikes/Eagles game with me on Sunday. She just glared at me. This is her first season of tailgating and going to games. She is not a big fan of tailgating in cold wet weather.

[17>1]

Watched a little bit of the UNI vs Youngstown game. That QB for the Panthers is tiny!! I will say he made an athletic play and threw a nice TD pass during the short time I watched, but I'm not overly impressed with the freshman...again, a small sample size. I like our chances against him during his first trip to the FFD.

[scottietohottie]

Hopefully uni heads to Fargo sometime today as well. Lee timmerman you just wait in Bismarck for a bit. Think you might miss it anyways.

Their offense isn't going to scare anyone. Of the 124 FCS teams the NCAA tracks for stats they're 90th in yards per play (4.99), 106th in yards per carry (2.91), and 48th in passing efficiency (126.98).

Based on the little bits I've watched of them their QB likes to take shots down the field which means they'll have a puncher's chance of hitting a few explosive plays but they aren't going to sustain drives against the Bison defense. I think the only chance they have is to get a special teams or defensive score (or two).

Their defense is stout though (I know... Illinois St was supposed to have a stout defense also). I could see UNI turning it into a rock fight a la the 2015 quarterfinals. Hopefully the Bison offense is up to the challenge (again).

I may be reading too much into this but to me that tells me he's talking to ACC and SEC schools. I believe the B1G, Big 12, and Pac 12 will play conference games from this point in the season on and only the ACC and SEC will delve out of conference late in the season to play FCS games.

Road forgot about the best road trip ever. The Road Warriors, Road
Ken Frank, maybe Hal and myself took off for Sioux Falls for a game
with Augi. The roads were not closed, but travel was not advised. After
we got over that hill south on 94 things were fine. We stopped at the
Stark house in Brookings for some food and some bad ass Vodkas. We proceeded
to the game where there was a foot of snow on the field. We drank a lot of beer
at the game, won 25-0 and John Stark got waxed. Lynn Stark was obviously pissed
because after the Quarterfinal game at UC Davis which we won 31-12 they asked John
what time breakfast was the next week on the way to Vermillion for the Semifinal.
John's response "They'rll be no more breakfasts" So much fun back in the day.

Why? Maybe not 10,000 but it could be close. The stadium holds about 58,500. The last two years FCS schools drew 47,000 and a bit over 49,000. That’s 9500 to 12,000 tickets potentially available. The caveat is that the Ducks usually play a FCS team the second game of season whereas I believe the Bison are the first game in 2020. The past two years some shit G5 teams have been the first game and those games drew 50 to 51,000 so only 7500 to 8500 tickets available.

A neighbor of mine has a daughter who is a faculty member at OU and her partner is on the university legal team. They have said repeatedly that Duck fans hate FCS games and they refuse to go and support playing shit teams like that. I’m not sure an opponent with nattys will draw those moths to the flame.

Yeah, he nailed it. It is fascinating to me that FBS folks can't understand this when NDSU keeps winning FBS games and completely destroys FCS competition. Anyone wants to listen to an FBS tool, tune this in.

I guess he doesnt consider teams having 100,000,000 more dollars in their athletic budget too.

[HerdistheWord]

One guy gets it. One guy doesn’t. Calling Iowa a bad team in 2016 is ridiculous. They were loaded with talent that year. The apples to oranges argument is partially true, but it gets diminished when you factor in a fairly objective ranking system capable of accounting for the strength of schedule difference and when you take into account NDSU’s record against against FBS, which includes at least two good wins (Kansas State and Iowa).

[Professor Chaos]

"They've played 6 FBS game in 9 years... any team can get up for the big one."

Then why do FCS teams lose 90% (or more this year) of games against FBS teams. NDSU is "the big one" for the majority of teams on their schedule yet NDSU is 117-8 in the last 8+ years. It's a tired and easily refuted argument the guy is making.

The truth to that statement though is it would be a very different story if the current NDSU team had to play that schedule each season. They've been good and had great results against good P5 teams, but some of those wins were over teams at the right time. Iowa and Kansas State were definitely the most impressive but both of those could have easily gone the other way with winning scores in the last minute.

That doesn't diminish at all what the Bison have accomplished which is incredible. It's amazing to be on this kind of roll at any level. Mount Union is the only other one I would say is remotely comparable. I would love to see what they would do in the D2 tournament, and I"m sure they could beat some FCS playoff teams.

I hope fans truly appreciate what this program has accomplished. They are making it look easy, but it's far from easy.

I've wondered how that Iowa game may have turned out differently had Klieman decided to kick the XP to tie the game at 21 or had they got the 2 point conversion to go up 22-21. Iowa was their own worst enemy with poor execution and timid play-calling on that last offensive series they had. Had they been in a tie game or even been trailing would playing with more urgency have sparked them? We'll never know but it's funny how that decision to go for 2 and failing to convert it worked out in the end.

[scottietohottie]

Well was going to leave last night but then got a call that the corn chopper was on his way. Now I get to say I chopped corn in a blizzard. Actually froze enough to make the equipment carry better. Going to be a wet mess if it warms up again now. Guessing im going to miss this one too now.

Yep, wasn't too disappointed when they failed to convert. Thought our best chance was Iowa just trying to run out the clock on the last drive, and give us time for 1 last drive. Was hoping Bison were going to get closer to end zone for an easier FGA, but it worked out.

Wait, what thread is this again?

I don't believe NDSU wins that game if they get the two-point conversion. This is something I said after the game and still believe it.

I agree with you that it would change the play-calling of IOWA if they were down 1 instead of up 1. We can agree to disagree on the execution of said plays against the Bison D. Either way though, you're right, and probably what Klieman was thinknig if he missed the conversion, which is why he went for it. I think if it's a few seconds on the clock he would have played for OT and kicked.

In looking at Northern Iowa’s 2-deep (page 8)

https://s3.amazonaws.com/sidearm.sites/uni.sidearmsports.com/documents/2019/10/8/NDSU.pdf

there are some familiar names from recruiting, especially Minnesota players.
If anyone remembers a different version, please correct.

- Isaiah Weston is at WR, from Albertville, don’t remember NDSU offering and always wondered why (good thing Bison got Christian Watson recruited). Weston was a great track athlete also and this year has 18 receptions for 381 yards, 4 TD’s as a sophomore.

- Elerson Smith - 6’ 5” 230 - DE - sophomore - don’t remember NDSU involved

- Jevon Brekke - 6’ 3” 209 - R - sophomore - DeLaSalle HS - another recognizable name I also don’t remember NDSU being involved with, but always wondered why.

- Omar Brown - 6’ 190 - FR - CB - Minneapolis North - NDSU had an early offer to. Now starting as a true freshman for the Panthers.

Non-Minnesota names include:

- Tristan Roper - 6’ 5” 280 - OT - Blue Springs MO - 2nd team as a true frosh - NDSU offered

- Trevor Penning - OT - Clear Lake IA - 6’ 7” 321 - NDSU offered his “little brother” Jared - 6’ 6” - who went with UNI instead

[Christopher Moen]

Here's my assessment of UNI after watching their last three games (yes, in reverse order) against Youngstown State, Weber State and Idaho State:

The good: Their defense. Although not great, they are very disciplined against the run, especially with gap assignment. I didn't see them as a team that stacked the box a lot, but when it came to tackling the ball carrier, they attacked like a pack of dogs after a three-legged cat. They can give up big runs when they lacked focus, but when they're on, like they were against YSU compared to the other two teams, they are stingy on the ground.

The pass defense isn't nearly as good as their run defense as they gave up big throws in all three games, but they do have talenedt DBs that will battle with the Bison WRs.

The bad (somewhat): Their special teams. They have a good FG kicker and decent punter, but their kick return game isn't very good and probably why I would expect a lot of fair catches from them on Saturday. This aspect was a big reason for their issues against Weber State.

The ugly: Their offense. Not the worse we'll see this year, but everything relies on the gutty performances of Will McElvain. He's not a too terrible passer, but gets his yardage after scrambling like Fran Tarkenton. He doesn't have great speed, but has excellent quickness. How he matches up with NDSU's front four will be interesting. In the last game I watched (Idaho State), I noticed a slight nuance of his that might be able to help the Bison defense guess if the play is a pass or run. While in shot-gun formation, if McElvain took a long look at his sideline, the play most likely was a pass. If he stared straight ahead at the lineman, the play usually was a run.

Like the Redbirds from last week, the Panthers have monstrous linemen. However, this didn't translate well into a good run game or pass protection for them in all three games. As mentioned above, this will be interesting with the Bison front four.

I see this game as brawl because it always is due to the two programs history with each other. Conservatively, I say the Bison should win by at least 15. If the Bison can break the Panther's will, this game could be a similar result to last week's game against the Redbirds.

How many teams in the Big Ten actually have to do those three in a row? The closest I could find was Michigan St going to Ohio St and Wisconsin and then home for Penn State. That's a rough schedule for anybody. But most Big 10 schools don't have to do that.

I look at the Gophers schedule and do believe we would probably go 9-3. 7-5 I believe would be the worst we would do against that schedule with a chance of going 10-2.

Saw that it was already posted...

A facebook rumor says the game has been moved to Sunday. Have you guys heard anything official?

That's like a 30 hour tailgate.

Team Makers just posted on fb 20 minutes ago, inviting everyone to their heated tents...

That's a lot of beer to drink.

This post confuses me for some reason ... this year ... next year ... whenever year ....


Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkLol sorry. Earlier in the week I heard about a UNI WR redshirting this year and then transferring. Then later in the week on 1660 the "confirmed" said WR was indeed redshirting but not transferring. And now Farley says he will transfer.

It's just like when my best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with a girl who saw Ferris pass-out at 31 Flavors last night.

Would that be a record?

[TAILG8R]

On another note we just decided that we are not going to set up our tent tomorrow and will do some I door table gating instead.

Last time we had our big tent up in high winds it took two vehicles and a trailer to keep it in place. Not fun standing in a 20x20 heavy commercial tent while it sways in random directions like a wacky inflatable tube man.

We've got 10 inches down here in south Fargo....couldn't help myself.

Head down 83 to i90 and then come up from the south on i29. Should be smooth sailing. Hopefully im not doing this in reverse order on Sunday. Wife has this job thing she's all worried about Monday.

currently in a blizzard warning, but there isnt snow falling so I hear random gusts of wind. right now but most roads are covered with blow ice but that should melt tomorrow. Moorhead probably saw 2-4 inches, I can still see the dirt that is my yard. not sure what Fargo/west fargo saw for accumulation, probably a little more.

[tjamz]

Would that be a record?

Not if you count the epic journey that the Frisco Cruiser took to Frisco as one continuous tailgate experience.

[westnodak93bison]

Wont be able to make it unless I fire up the snow machine or drive south of Bismarck and loop around to Fargo. Could I call and have my tickets printed out for others to pickup to attend the game?

Snow has not really covered the pavement. Maybe less then an inch of slushy stuff. Winds should die down a little by morning

Haha good listen and the host says what we've been saying for years.


His cohost is a dork with the cliche "go to camp randall, kinnick then host ohio state and see how you do" line.


Ok ndsu would challenge Wisconsin and iowa and probably get blown out by ohio st like most teams barely do outside of the top 25.

I guess he doesnt consider teams having 100,000,000 more dollars in their athletic budget too.

What the dorks never take into account is if we were playing fbs teams on that basis, we would be fbs and have the extra schollies.

Yep. For some reason that fact is always lost on them.

Things I’ll be watching today include:

- As always, can the Northern Iowa offense keep the NDSU offense off the field?

- Battle of freshman QB’s, everyone knows how wildly efficient Trey Lance is, but look at Mr McElvain! He checks in with a TD/Int ratio of 8/1 on the season - very impressive! Panthers aren’t very good at running the ball - leading rusher Trevor Allen checks in with only 3.8 ypc (70 carries 268 yards), so passing game needs to strike. Can the Panthers hit on some big plays with WR’s Isaiah Weston (21.2 ypc), Jaylin James (16.0 ypc) and Deion McShane (Deion’s brother Steve McShane was very good at Western Illinois)?

UNI is short TE’s due to injuries so what formations do the Panthers work with?

- What does Farley do to help 5’ 11” McElvain against the Bison pass rush? Move the pocket? Roll-outs with pass/run options? FB/TE chips on the DE’s? Designed QB runs?

-Can LT Penning (6’ 7”) and RT Brown (6’ 8”) move their feet fast enough to deal with this pass rush? Panther O-Line is huge, but can they protect Will McElvain?

- 6’ 5” DE Elerson Smith leads FCS with 7.5 sacks. Does he get pressure on QB Trey Lance?

- CB Xavior Williams - does UNI have their own version of Marcus Williams Island, leaving safeties free to defend the run?

- Was UNI’s triple OT loss to Iowa State their best game, or did they save something for the Bison?

[El_Chapo]

now I'm worried about crowd noise... or lack thereof.... start drinking!!!

[El_Chapo]

Grimsley confirms in interview.

"Northern Iowa was easily our biggest rivalry, I know some say SDSU, but we always have a fight with UNI and that's why I picked this game to come back to!"
