Playoff Matchup 2017

[DM05]

They aren't built to play Utah. Utah is a tough matchup for them. It is a large spread. But, like I told a friend, Utah is the least of their concerns. They have to beat USD, that is their game of the year. If they lose to Utah, USD and potentially Eastern Washington, they will have 3 losses and no quality wins. Missouri State is the worst in the league. The thing about them, is their new staff played no upper classman, they all got a year older, he can coach. Nothing would shock me. Is it true NDSU averaged a yard more at tailback than UND did? It was just posted. In the valley vs the sky? Is that even possible?

UND: 546 rushes for 2501 yards = 4.58 YPC
NDSU: 596 rushes for 3372 yards = 5.66 YPC

Big Sky + dogshit OOC vs. Valley + two playoff teams + Iowa....I couldn't believe it either.

I'd take a Kramer red shirt freshman over a goopher transfer any day.

I'm curious to see what game the Fawkers win first (if that even happens) then try to explain to us how good they are.

Our OL was a mess for the first few games. They came together down the stretch.

All that with who some on this board apparently considered as the anti-Christ as OC last year.

They obviously didn't count the bubble screens as runs.

They did have that difficult matchup with Bowling Green.

Yeah, those stats are garbage, they include QB sacks, which is really telling of how good a team's running backs are.

UND's top 4 tailbacks (Santiago, Olivera, Gordon, Norberg) - 406 carries, 2,253 net yards, 5.6 YPC
NDSU's top 4 tailbacks (Dunn, Frazier, Morlock, Anderson) - 438 carries, 2,502 net yards, 5.7 YPC

Thanks for clarifying that NDSU is better.

Ah......makes sense now..........messy Fawkers that came together.
