2022 Missouri Valley Football Preseason Team & Poll

[taper]

UNI skips NDSU and YSU, plus gets SDSU and MSU at home. Should beat Sac St and Utah Tech OOC, and with an outside chance at Air Force they could even end up with a playoff seed. Being UNI they'll piss that away in the playoffs though.

It is with great sorrow that Indiana State University announces that police are working to positively identify three people who died in a single-vehicle accident early Sunday morning.
Police said there were five people total in the vehicle. They are all believed to be ISU students, including several football players.

21 FBS transfers ... thats darn near enough for starters on both sides of the ball.

[Herd]

Iowa’s defense better be pretty damn good. Cause the best QB, RB, TE and WR group will all be wearing blue. I’m going to call the upset . . . 27-17 jacks

[TAILG8R]

I'll believe it when I see it. Yes the Jacks throttled CSU but that was CSU. If they can pull off a solid FBS win then they will take another step in chasing the Bison.

Iowa's defense is supposed to be one of the best in all of FBS, they'll give the Jacks a lot of trouble. SDSU offense is too good to be completely shut down though.

As for Iowa's offense.....their defense is supposed to be one of the best in all of FBS.

I won't be shocked if neither team reaches 20 points. Jacks put up a valiant effort but lose a close one me thinks.

[DePereBisonFan]

SDSU always chokes in these games. They won't win, nor will they even look that great.

[El_Chapo]

wiu woof
Indy st & msu red gets wins 2nite

[semobison]

Hawkeyes lead Jacks 3-0 with 3 minutes left in the half. 10 punts in this game but Jacks just get a big pick to get the ball into Iowa territory for the first time in this game!

[Wolfie]

Iowa's offense is....well, not good?
But, somehow they will be in the top half of the Big 10 and play a bowl game. FBS BABY!

[B.Schlossman Fan Club]

Not sure if SDSU offense is that bad or if Iowas D is that good? Losing your NFL TE doesn’t help SDSU.

[semobison]

Gronowski did not look good in the first half!

[DePereBisonFan]

Gronowski did not look good in the first half!

Just looking at the ESPN box score here: Is something the matter with SDSU's punter? One punt for 17 yards; another for 35 yards; Another for 42 yards and they declined a running into the kicker penalty?

[MontBison]

God Iowa stinks and so does SDSU

[El_Chapo]

UNI got destroyed.

[B.Schlossman Fan Club]

Gronowski did not look good in the first half!

His WR were not getting open so he took a pounding by iowas defense. I would not put that on him.

[B.Schlossman Fan Club]

UNI got destroyed.
They did not look very good at all. I’m more surprised they didn’t score more than 3 points. They really have been hyping up their WR corps but I guess they couldn’t get open? SIU laid an egg too.

[tony]

His WR were not getting open so he took a pounding by iowas defense. I would not put that on him.

He had one guy open over the middle for a sure TD... it was just a tiny bit overthrown.

SDSU should have won that game easily, but that ability to rise to the occasion is the biggest difference between NDSU and SDSU.

Iowa should also have won that game easily, goes both ways

You know that line about never leaving the game to the punter? This game was decided by both punters. Excellent defense on both sides. The safeties came from a punt to the 1 and 8 yard line.

Bobby P is fixing to shred that Jackrabbit defense this weekend. The atmosphere is going to be electric and SDSU doesn't have the weapons on offense to stay close. Most anticipated Bears game in many years and those SDSU players will hear it all game long.

It's good to see the fan base finally supporting your team. I've been to several Bison games in Springfield and have always enjoyed the town and the game. I'll be rooting for the Bears over the rabbits, but it's hard to root for Petrino.

Chris Low wrote a great column about Petrino leading into the Arkansas game. He has changed considerably since he was a young head coach. He's made mistakes but he has represented the school very well in Springfield. A whole lot of people in the national media took a lot of potshots at Missouri State for making this hire and he is making the lot of them look mighty foolish.

Good luck against the Yotes this weekend.

I mean Petrino really hasn’t done much so far at Mo St other than bring them back to relevance. Have they made it to a quarterfinal yet? I guess if just making the playoffs is your goal then good for them. Honestly until they make a playoff run they are no different than the rest of the MVFC outside of SDSU or NDSU…..

[bruinbison]

Petrino entering his 3rd season now, will be interesting to see where it goes.
Missouri State 1-10 in the last season of Dave Steckel, before Petrino took over.

He's done a remarkable job in a very shot period of time. The school hadn't been in the playoffs in three decades and he has them in position to do it 3 times in his first 3 years. I'm not making reservations to Frisco, TX hotels just yet, but if they win this weekend, it will be time to take a look. Jason Shelley is as good of a QB as there is in FCS and Bobby Petrino is as good of an offensive mind as there is at any level of football anywhere in the world. I'll take my chances with that combo over just about anyone.

Bison v. MSU looking like an interesting game.

If NDSU plays Missouri State, it'll be in the playoffs because we don't play them or Northern Iowa this season.

[KSBisonFan]

If the Bears can beat the bunnies tomorrow, their schedule gets pretty soft through the rest of the season. They get SIU at home and play UND & UNI on the road. If they beat sdsu, they will likely get a seed and we won't see the Bears until late in the playoffs. Frisco wouldn't be far fetched.

That could be my third time attending a championship game vs. a conference foe. 1986 vs. USD and 2015 vs ISUred were the others.

Nice w…. what the hell happened last weekend Petrino!?!?? Entz would be canned if he ever lost like that to the undies! I guess you are ok with mediocre coaching then I guess stay on that Petrino train…….

The team poured everything into the Arkansas game and was overconfident heading into the SDSU game. Then after that ballgame, there was a lot of infighting particularly on the defense with several emotional outbursts in the locker room and at practice last week. This team has so much talent but they have to channel their emotion properly.

Bobby Petrino is as good at coaching football offense as anyone in North America right now, but he really emptied the playbook in Arkansas. A friend who knows more about offense than I do told me that there haven't been any new wrinkles in the offense since that game in Fayetteville. He said they had shown new stuff against UT-Martin, a ton of new looks against the Razorbacks, and then very little against SDSU or UND.

Missouri State has a tremendous amount of talent that is scouted each week by NFL teams and they have great coaching, or at least great head coaching but administrators, coaches, players, and even fans have underestimated the difficulty in getting all the transfer players to mesh with the returners. The AD would like Petrino to spend a bit more time preparing the defense each week, but he has always been an offense first kind of guy.

Petrino has owned the Salukis since he got to Springfield and they have every capability of getting hot and making the playoffs and being a very dangerous opponent for anyone in FCS.

Missouri State now 2-4 on the season and 0-3 in the MVFC. One of the great offensive minds at any level of football has led his team right out of playoff contention. Still looking to check into hotel availability in Frisco? Talk about a post not aging well…

Bad week for football but it is far from embarrassing to be a Bears fan with the success of both men's and women's soccer teams this season.

It's all about the line play in football. It's harder to fill those holes in the portal than it is to find a good RB or WR. They know they can still make the playoffs if they win out and that will be the rallying cry.

You really didnt fall back on soccer????

[Professor Chaos]

From afar Petrino doesn't strike me as a guy who demands much discipline from his teams... he can recruit with the best of them and is good with the Xs and Os (on offense at least) but his teams don't seem to deal very well with adversity.

The shortcut of randomly tossing together athletes from all over certainly doesn't scream team chemistry.
I think Petrino jumps at the first offer elsewhere himself. He is in purgatory.

Looking forward to seeing No. 1 South Dakota State at Northern Iowa (ESPN+) 4:00
UNI with a typical late season surge, but their path to the playoffs has to include a W against the Jacks. Is this the game the Jackrabbits screw up? Or do they save it for the post-season.

Was hoping to watch No. 2 Sacramento State at No. 5 Weber State later in day, but don’t see it listed for ESPN+.
Sacramento can make an argument for the top seed if they run the table, certainly a Top 2 seed…

edit: according to Sacramento State’s site, it is being streamed by ESPN+
Looks like 2:00 our time

Looked like their QB had a front tooth knocked out.

[IndyBison]

SDSU could have had back to back IG. I don't know if that pass reached the LOS. It may have hit high enough in the stands that they ruled it would have gone beyond without the stands. The first one was a good pickup. I bet replay was helping with the spot.

Terrible call re: leaping. Also, SDSU should have had targeting called on last UNI drive, I saw hands to face by oLine twice, and worse than Cam Miller now/arrow stuff on several fist downs. I’m convinced refs are way over sensitive when calling NDSU games. Just ridiculous.

Hear me out: Both teams couldn't lose. With UNI losing at least we won't be playing them in the second round.

I'd really like to see NDSU wrap up the regular season by knocking SIU and UND out of the playoffs.

- Fighting Hawks with a must-win game against USD - still are in need of their 7th win with the last regular season game @NDSU, not a good place to get it……

- NDSU, still playing for a high seed, Egyptian Puppies with a must-win to make the playoffs at 5-4

- Indiana State @ WIU - Basement Bowl of the MVFC, 0-6 vs 0-6

- SDSU, ISU-Red - will this be the game the Jacks trip over it???
Or is this the year Stig & Co have figured it out?
Should be an easy game for SDSU, with starting QB Zack Annexstad out for Illinois State, but these are the Jackrabbits after all……:)

- Youngstown State needs a 7th win still (6-3) - Is Mo State still sleep walking, the mercs having packed it in?
