Re: Football Gameplan's Playoff Picks
Wouldn't that be exciting!This is an excellent 1st round match-up. Wofford's opportunistic defense has picked off 19 passes this season and can also get to the quarterback. The Grizzlies have been flirting with danger all season. The Cardiac Grizzlies have been playing uninspired football the latter part of the season. One thing is for certain, the Grizzlies can play offense. Montana's well balanced attack is averaging 423 yards per game. I think they've danced with the devil one too many times and this time, the dance is over...Prediction: Wofford 27 - Montana 23.

Re: Football Gameplan's Playoff Picks
Originally posted by GonzoCatThat's very close to my prediction of 41-17. UNH doesn't have a defense that will be able to stop us from scoring on nearly every possession. We will play ball control grind it out football and our defense will stop them most of the time when they do get on the field.
Also I agree completely on SIU, they are the team I am most worried about. I think the winner of the UNI/SIU semi is going to be the national champion.
I had a chance to watch the UMass game against Hofstra last week. UMass is very solid and is more than capable of taking down SIU next week. In fact, my hunch is that UNI will be facing them in the Semis.

Re: Football Gameplan's Playoff Picks
Don't root against SIU. I like our matchups with them better than UMASS... Everyone that is scared of SIU needs to remember that we were p!ss-pounding them until we went into "watch the clock" offense. While the game got close, I would say that we are still 2 touchdowns or more better than SIU...Originally posted by GonzoCatI hope you are right. I hate to root against a Gateway team in the playoffs, but I don't want to see SIU again.

Re: Football Gameplan's Playoff Picks
And that nightmare of a last play would never have happened if we hadn't taken a knee with a minute and a half left in the game. Did we ever get an explanation for that by the way?Originally posted by UNI05Alum View PostDon't root against SIU. I like our matchups with them better than UMASS...

Re: Football Gameplan's Playoff Picks
Absolutely! You never take a knee unless you can run out the clock. That was really questionable play calling. I would also love to hear an explanation.Originally posted by Panther-at-Arms View PostAnd that nightmare of a last play would never have happened if we hadn't taken a knee with a minute and a half left in the game.

Re: Football Gameplan's Playoff Picks
I know this has been said before. In the replay after the first kneel, you can clearly see Farley yelling at the official, "Hey, they have a timeout????" After realizing the mistake, we probably should have ran it twice though. At any rate, it was a W.Originally posted by caagman View PostAbsolutely!
