Re: Nicholls State

Looking at those numbers it reminds me of a couple teams in HS play here in Iowa...not a bad thing persay, they are all really good top 5 teams in their class.

I think our defense will be fine in this game. This is one game I think the Tampa 2 zone, with the corner playing the short zone will be great. The d-line can take the dives, outside backers can take the qb, and the cb's can take the pitch.

Re: Nicholls State

The low down I have gotten on Nicholls State is they have tremendous athletes, and run the triple option like Georgia Southern runs (and do it pretty well).

USED to run.

Thought this was interesting: considering Nicholls State played Memphis

101 Northern Iowa AA = 63.85 2 2 63.37( 112) 0 1 | 0 1 | 64.57 94 | 62.19 104
102 New Hampshire AA = 63.45 4 0 47.58( 199) 0 0 | 0 0 | 64.01 98 | 61.95 106
103 Richmond AA = 63.40 3 2 56.50( 159) 0 0 | 0 0 | 63.01 108 | 62.83 100
104 Louisiana-Lafayette A = 63.37 1 3 68.70( 60) 0 0 | 0 0 | 59.07 123 | 66.97 79
105 Memphis A = 63.26 2 3 65.85( 94) 0 0 | 0 0 | 61.45 114 | 64.16 95

Re: Nicholls State

Anyone else think this might be a trap game?

A.) They've only played one game and you make your most improvement from game 1 to game 2
B.) B/c of that, there's no great way to tell what they're capable of
C.) They might have an emotional edge playing for a school so affected by the hurricanes and now they get a national stage on ESPNU.
D.) They don't have to go to class today and will have been in real game day focus longer.

I really don't like this Thursday night game thing. But on the other hand I'm guessing our guys are pretty angry about the SIU loss with a last second field goal when we out manned them in the 2nd half. So in conclusion, UNI 42-Nicholls State 17

Re: Nicholls State

The thing I don't like is that with this game being Thursday night, and a televised game is that attendence will be under 13,000, leaving thousands of empty seats. Making us look like just another mid week ESPN slap dick.

Re: Nicholls State

I'd like to think we'd get a crowd similar to the Minn St Thursday night game last year...wasn't that close to 15?
Hopefully the only complaint afterwards is the crowd

Re: Nicholls State

I thought I heard there was only a limited number of tickets for this game, but I may be wrong? I've been wrong before, it was about 7 years ago I think, haha.

Anyone know how ticket sales are for this game?
