2021 Game 5 Preview: UNI

[Bisonwinagn]

So this seems like another 10-9 game? First one to 10 wins!!

I don't think NDSU loses many recruiting battles to UNI... but the one that sticks in my mind is Jared Brinkman. He'd have looked good in a Bison uniform.

Are you mixing Jake Brinkman in there? Older brother to Jared - was at NDSU a couple years. I don’t remember a NDSU offer to Jared, but could be wrong. Jared has turned into a fine college player though.

Jared had an article on a recruiting visit to Fargo and hadn’t received an offer as of the date of the article

For the 2nd week in a row NDSU faces a NFL prospect at LT - Waletzko Fighting Hawks and now a high draft prospect in Panther Trevor Penning. iirc Bison offered Trevor’s younger brother Jared, but missed out to UNI there. Don’t see Jared on UNI’s 2-deep, so he is either hasn’t made it yet or is injured.

Two names on the 2-deep I recognize, CB Stefan Black & OT Tristan Roper, both had NDSU offers. Roper is backing up T Penning. Black was offered 1st by NDSU (metro KC area) but committed to Air Force. Later on he decommited and ended up signing with UNI.

CB Omar Brown was a really nice get for Northern Iowa. NDSU offered, but may have gotten distracted elsewhere (?) but anyways Brown was the 8th ranked prospect in Minnesota that year.

One player I always kept an eye on for recruiting was WR Isaiah Weston from Albertville MN.
Turned out alright for UNI - don’t remember NDSU ever offering though…guess that WR from Florida that class turned out alright for the Bison…

Terrell Sinkfield, Benny Sapp Omar Brown all 3 stars in the Twin Cities

Don’t remember a NDSU offer to Benny Sapp - link?
Sapp was a transfer out of Minnesota Gophers (grad?)

Terrell Sinkfield was a long time ago - he originally signed in the NFL in 2013 so college recruiting was before 2010.

Jared has started every game at LG

I think “UNI loud” returns this weekend.

10 years ago doesn’t seem very long ago to this old guy. October 29th 2011 #3 NDSU beats #2 UNI 27-19 in a sold out Fargodome for their first win against the Panthers in 4 games in MVFC play. Biggest home DI win ever at the time? I still hate UNI!

Im saying NDSU shouldve offerred Sapp.

Sapp is a really good player. He's about as good as his dad and his dad played in the NFL for a number of years. His dad also went to UNI, so that likely played a role in his transfer decision.

I feel like Jeff and Andy have been doing a great job of pumping up the game on the insiders show. Flip side, don't know how many casual fans listen to the show. More probably watch the news.

I do agree, this game right here is by far the biggest game of the season. We can get this one we have a good shot going undefeated into SDSU.
