Re: UNI v Nichols State Gamethread

I didn't know we were the ONLY place in the nation that still had regular turf, though...like they pretty much said. Doesn't NDSU have turf similar to ours? I know they pull theirs up (roll it in and out) quite easily. Doesn't seem like a field turf, but I could be wrong.

We have the original AstroTurf if I am not mistaken. It feels a bit spongy when you just walk on it. However, when a 275 DE slams you into the ground, not quite the same.

I think he will do whatever the coaches say. Hope corey is ok we need him

Re: UNI v Nichols State Gamethread

At one point, I think it was after the broken ankle play, one of the commentators mentioned the turf and the other one said "what a great facility." It was obviously a sarcastic comment.

This was a personnel win. Bigger, stronger, slower. Defense wore them out. Cut down on the mistakes, and we're fine. 10-2 is a goal that can be achieved. Bring on the Deadbirds!

Re: UNI v Nichols State Gamethread

How about Pat Grace this week? I thought he looked pretty good out there .. he gets the ball in the endzone, even if that means taking hits and running it in himself. No fear out there. However, I would like to see a little more variety in the play calling from the coaching staff -- if we run into a team with with solid defense we're going to have problems running the same plays over and over. Nice work, Grace!

Grace looked OK outside of a bonehead INT right to their best player who had been there the whole time. Seems like he should know where their defensive star is when he is the safety.

I haven't rewatched the game yet, but live, it looked like a great play by the safety.

Re: UNI v Nichols State Gamethread

It was probably an ill-advised throw, but it did require quite an athletic "good play" by the defender. Not quite as bonehead as some of his INTs have been.

Re: UNI v Nichols State Gamethread

I watched it and clearly under threw the WR....FS made good play as far as going to the ball....but if thrown 5 yards further, UNI has 6.....

Re: UNI v Nichols State Gamethread

I do recall him underthrowing or throwing behind a lot of receivers. Guys like Gray can still come up with the catch but its hard to get yards after the catch that way.
