Why? Are you starting?

No, he's singing with the Glee Club and can't make it.

Griff won't make a game? That's unpossible. I can't believe they will even have the game if he's not there.

It won't be a cake walk, but Panthers win, 38-31

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

I've been there too. 1987 against NE La. We were down 35-14 at halftime came back to make it a game, eventually losing 44-41 in 2OT...Damn!

Remember that game well. Great bunch of Panthers on that team.

Hey Whitey...didn't Dukie throw 5 or so TD passes in that game? If I remember, we got beat because future San Diego Charger Stan Humphries threw 6? My math may be off, but I remember it being a shootout.

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

A young secondary and a weak linebacking corps sounds like a good way to keep UNI to 17

The Hen's secondary might be young, but they are ball hounds, have speed and HIT HARD. If UNI weren't in the Gateway, I'd make it 31-30.

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

This is a game you can look at on a million different levels. Both have shown great offenses and I think we can agree that UNI's defense is probably a little better than UD's.

UNI's Defense coupled with playing at home makes the difference...

UNI 31
UD 17

UD can't score if their offense is on the sideline.

And the UNI secondary might give up some yards, but they have speed, make picks at great times, and hit hard too...What is your point? Also frenzy, any word on your trip?

You're right on, we just got too far behind early. Dukie had a great game, just not enough time.

Hey whitey81,
Never had a stein pizza with a soda, thought you had to have cheap beer for that. 4 years at UNI and I just learned the stein sold pepsi. (from an earlier post).

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

I've been there before. my senior year in the 2nd round, we played at William & Mary. we were up 21 going into the 4th. cuff had rushed for 170+ in the first half and we come into the 4th chuckin it around the field. first play of the 4th, 72 yd. INT for a TD. So I can say that that has happened before.

Were you looking at yourself in the mirror and posing while you were typing that? I almost thought Lassie was going to come save you! Dawg, let the football thing go. You aren't in the NFL, Arena Ball, CFL, or that new Japanese league. Adult Flag football was your destiny like all of the rest of us.

Now look DOWN and make sure those fries aren't burning and grab my quarter pounder!

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

Hens, 31-17. My only worry is our weak linebacking corps.

If you are coming to Iowa for the game, please leave the LSD at home! We are an LSD free state!

[Go Hens!]

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

UNI 38 Delaware 28. Cuff will run for 1 TD, Flacco will throw for one, Delaware will have 4 turnovers.

4 turnovers? You obviously have not kept track of the Hens this year. They do not do that.

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

I can't venture a guess on the score either, but I'm expecting a high scoring game.

Some matchups favor UNI, some favor us.

I like your OL better running than I do passing, and I think that's where you'll have the best luck. I expect your gameplan to try to take advantage of that, if your guy can coach a lick.

We get into a out-and-out throwing contest, it'll be somewhat to your disadvantage. To use a basketball analogy, a slower tempo, half court game favors you guys. An uptempo, fast break/transition game favors us.

Getting us in third-and-long will be important? Well, probably no more than any other team. We do sligtly better than you guys on third (53% vs 48%) but I don't think that's a significant difference.

I like our OL better passing than I do running. I expect us to throw a lot. Cuff will get his touches, but sometimes our OC surprises me in how he goes about that. That said, I expect him to let it loose and go-for-broke. Sometimes, he goes all tactical and doesn't let them play, and we all hate that.

Watch our TE's. If we get to use them the way we want to, they'll be a/the big difference. Trust me on this one, you'll see.

If we protect the ball and don't make a lot of unforced errors (our downfall in two games) I like our chances, but expect it to be decided late. OT wouldn't shock me.

PS... wasted possessions will need to be avoided at all costs.

That is correct OH. Agnone and Baker were the key to the Navy Victory.

btw......Hens 42 UNI 15

Re: Delaware @ UNI Prediction Thread

UNI scores two TD's before the Blue Chickens' ears stop ringing from the roar of the crowd, Bobby J., and "Hells Bells" as the team storms the field.

The defense plays their best game of the year after last week's scare. The offense moves the ball at will, and the coaches remember to step on their necks after we get them down early, unlike last week's conservative second half playcalling.
