NDSU SIU Preview

[bruinbison]

Glad to see both Kobe Johnson and Dominic Gonnella on the depth chart. Both were dinged up during the game so was worried about their health also......

Luepke also back listed as the starting FB.... I suspect he gets a good chunk of carries as well. Need that thunder to set up Kobe and Bussey's lighting.

EDIT: I guess he was listed as the starting FB last week too... hopefully he's actually back this week.

Second straight week NDSU will face a team whose starter is uncertain

SIU QB Kare Lyles is questionnable for Saturday’s game vs. No. 1 North Dakota State, #Salukis coach @17NickHill said today. Lyles feels good and wants to play, Hill said.




SIU QB was injured in the 2nd quarter of the Fighting Hawks game and did not return

Their other QB is a wildcat qb that is supposed to be amazing but UND shut him down.

Just ask the Sioux fans. The corner is turned in the SIU game. Never mind SIU turned the ball over 5 times and lost their QB. They'll probably win the MVFC and maybe a national championship.

how the hell doesn't NDSU just roll on these guys ? hopefully the conservative play calling is done for the year.

I'm pretty sure they'll play better at home and won't have 5 turnovers.

Agreed. I would calm any thoughts of rolling SIU. I saw nothing in our game that says we are multidimensional and have the ability to do whatever we want like we have in the past. Also you can't expect a team to have a repeat 5 turnover game. If they have to go with the backup QB that could be to our advantage. But if I remember the last meeting it wasn't their QB that was giving us problems.

I can hear it now up here in forksville.....well we beat them by more then you guys so we are legit!.......signed the chickenhawks!

I'm gonna guess they'll be brought down to earth in a hurry after their game with the silly wabbits this week.... gone are their days of weeks off munching on big fluffy cupcakes.

Ha. I saw that. Adorable really.

I couldn't agree more. Getting Luepke Back at TE/FB will add another dimension to the play calling, but yet its a must to use our, biggest fastest receiver deep threat in the country and Mr. Watson needs to be thrown 4 bombs every game to stretch the field, they only did it once which is ridiculous. Rohl needs to get the machine rolling so confidence is there as UND/SDSU and UNI look good and a short season doesn't mean you want until the end to use your full play book any more! Bury these Salukis by 25 points otherwise UND is going to look like the new bulls on the block!

Mr. Watson needs to stop tripping over his own feet. He did it several times versus UCA and at least once against YSU on a deep route.

Well, Kobe was having a bit of a problem too. Maybe it's the shoes... it didn't look like they were wearing flippers, but I didn't look that closely.

I rewatched NDSU v SIU from last year. NDSU really struggled with bad field position. plus it seemed like every third down was 3rd and 9 because it was feast or famine on 1st and 2nd. On defense, NDSU had a lot of trouble with their wildcat guy was gashing us. SIU really shortened the game - NDSU only had 8 drives.

It seems doubtful that NDSU is going to get SIU to give us the ball 5 times, but I'm encouraged by how good our DL looked last week. I'd sure like to see NDSU keep their running game in check this time.

Yea. last week was a wake up call & the offense knows they need to BRING IT>

I'm still going to claim that Youngstown defensive back field was fast until proven otherwise. Like I said in other posts, maybe Zeb made them look fast by locking in on his receivers, we will see how this week goes.

You heard it here first, UND are the kings of the FCS. Move over #DukesDecade, its time to usher in the #SiouxCentury.

We can only hope to sniff the jockstraps of greatness when we get f*cking MAULED by the juggernaut that is UND F'n HAwkers on 3/20. RIP to our offensive and defensive lines.

BMAC said that UND dominated the trenches last week so we may as well forfeit.

Lets just pray that Bubba doesnt give Entz an atomic wedgie in front of the student section again while he makes Matt perform fellatio on their mascot, while holding a sign that says "lets play hockey", again. There's only so much embarrassment our program can endure, and this would make even our most passionate fans lose hope...

All we can do is pray

Looks like mother nature is going to cooperate. It's rainy and in the 30s and 40s today in Carbondale but tomorrow is supposed to just be cloudy with light winds and a high of 60: https://weather.com/weather/weekend/l/57c7628cb7e4df87959aea4b806102f3b8179e81e1b2d68bb6 34576de6026876

I think this guy is the main culprit: https://twitter.com/scootsnladders

He's definitely earned a few huzzahs from Bison football rubes for his work so far.

He's good. Videos have an edge and a touch of humor.

Supreme talent to make last week's game seem more exciting than watching paint dry. I like his style
