UNI Pregame Thread

[Green1]

For whatever reason, the Bison always have a tough go of it when we play at Western. Nothing new.

I don't think it is that we think the new guy is the savior, rather we are ecstatic that we might be able to complete a pass now and again.

Should be a great game. The typical pattern of NDSU/UNI games are that they are hard fought and physical, with neither team backing down. Then NDSU usually ends up winning because they are tougher mentally, make better in-game adjustments, and know how to finish. I expect more the same on Saturday, though because of intangibles I think UNI has a better chance than in most of their matchups.

I can't say I disagree really.

I'm not sure how they should have won, they had their chances and failed.

Wimbush is back. That's it.

Really wish we would recruit big and fast RB. Feel like our O scheme holds us back from getting great RBs/WRs.

Not sure we can complain about our RBs. Weve been solid since what? Before Gordon?

I saw Panthers game against the Bears last week. It looked like your team offense was on a completely different level. Lot of great throws by your young QB and he has some good WRs too. I think in order to truly plan for this game our coaches should look at the K-State tape when Colin Klien was the grad assistant for the WildCats. On defense Carter Suhulz is a guaranteed NFL level player, Rickey Niel and Duncan Ferch have taken over for Tim Kilfoy and Deondre Hall. The first play of the game for the Bears, 3rd and short for the Bears, the Bears QB throws a little short pass to a WR near the sideline, your DB jumps in front of the Bears WR and intercepts the pass and took it endzone for a TD, , year after year, how your coaching staff prepares your players to play such opportunistic defense really amazes me. Mark Farley does a good job of experimenting a lot of players and getting them ready just in time before the Bison game.

[garbageman]

Biggest question of the weekend. How many phantom whistles will Farley and whomever is quarterback will they here in the uni garage??

[TNbison]

Except for the fact Kilfoy played safety and Hall played corner. Ferch plays MLB and Neal is listed as their starting DE, but plays more of a hybrid role of OLB and DE in their scheme.

"it's not the Bison of old on offense"
"they didn't score in the 2nd half"
"totally beatable and we should have won"

Would've, could've, should've..........................the buzz words of non-champions since the beginning of time.

[wagsabison]

Hate to say it but I like UNI in this one... a loss won't end our season but we're getting into crunch time and have to avoid L's for seeding
