So lets talk Richmond....

Re: So lets talk Richmond....

We should make them practice out in the cold on Thursday.

Really, though, give them every advantage and then beat them. That's the way to do it.

I'll be more nervous than a whore on the first night of work come saturday afternoon...but we are overdue for a thanksgiving sized helping of Dome Magic.

Re: So lets talk Richmond....

That may have been dictated by the NCAA. At least, a Friday practice probably is. Perhaps the Thursday practice as well.



(and I don't think the workout is going to damage the field. unless they try to copy Maine and bring sledgehammers)

Cut Maine some slack! I think their fight song was "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel!

I have no idea why you asked. If you're going to ask to me start interpreting the inner workings of your so-called mind, we're going to need a sharp stick and a surgical procedure.

Re: So lets talk Richmond....

I must say that this going to be an incredible game. My one hope is that whoever wins this game beats JMU should they defeat Montana...that being said.

Richmond is a team built very much like the Tenn. Titans. Their QB is very solid, doesn't get rattled, and manages the game very well. If they have a lead they are a very difficult team to beat because they pound the ball running, eat up a bunch of time, and then put a defense on the field that is very, very good. I know people, especially Appy. State fans, say that they lost the game more than Richmond won it, but I don't buy that. The reason why Appy had 8 turnovers is because the Richmond defense is great.

However, much like Tenn. they are NOT built to make combacks if they get down by more than a score or two. They're QB is solid (like Collins) but he's not Joe Flacco who can just wing the ball all over the field and get a bunch a points in a short time. UNI has to do what the Jets did to Tenn. and get points on the board quickly. Remember JMU beat Richmond on a punt return with 1 second left. If they kicked out of bounds they would have won.

That being said...The Dome is too much.

20-7 UNI. You heard it hear first.

That describes UNI's season well.

This strategy has its flaws against UNH and Delaware....

Thanks for the insite Dude. What you've just written seems to back up the stats we've been discussing this week.

Next time I'm in Avalon or Stone Harbor I'll buy a round in your honor if you're correct.

I would agree that the best UNI strategy would be to run up a lead. We have not found ourselves behind by more than 2 scores yet this year. It would put us in an ucomfortable position especially on the road.

Also watch for Ward to run the ball quite a bit. This strategy worked well vs. App St. and was part of the UR gameplan they did not seem to prepare for.

Yup, the best UNI strategy will be to score more points than Richmond. I agree.

You haven't been behind by more than 2 scores, and you only won one game in which the game was within one score, and that was in overtime to a non-play-off team (bubble at best). I think if this game is close it favors the Panthers, when a game is on the line is when the Dome comes alive.
