I saw UNI vs YSU game last week. These are my observations from that game.
1) When it is 3-long, 3-8 the QB throws the ball to their tall WR, Darius Fountain. Darius Fountain is his #1 read.
2) They run some type of Texas routes. The receiver starts running near the edge and then suddenly cuts and moves towards the middle. The QB throws a quick short pass right through the middle to the receiver.
3) In the red-zone , 1-Goal, 3-Goal type of situation they mostly call running plays and Marcus Weymiller is the call carrier. They also ran WildCat during that situation.
Warning: This game is not for the weak hearted or seniors with serious heart conditions.

Apparently they've recently switched to a 3-3-5 defense with a hybrid LB/DE (Rickey Neal) being a joker type pass rusher and their defense has really taken off since. Normally I'd think the Bison could run on a 3-3-5 but they shut YSU's run game down last week (36 rushes for 47 yards and 13 TFLs) so that's not a given especially with a thin RB corps.
I think Stick is going to have to open this one up with his running ability like he did against YSU.
Always to very tough game for us, it's their super bowl. :)
I've gone like five years since my last comment, but believe me it's not UNI's super bowl. I think UNI is very annoyed and upset that they are no longer the top team in the league, but they still have the old mentality, warranted or not. NDSU is an important game but not as important as the in-state game. They play NDSU tough because they are a tough team, if not always the most disciplined or skilled.
So misguided. You consider a OOC game against a FBS opponent to be your most important game each year over the game that can have conference lead implications as well as playoff placement. In NDSU land we have found this kind of statement by you to be called denial or even a failure to admit that your team has just plain lost all its mojo.
