Re: Next Up: South Dakota State Jackrabbits

JimmyJack,

I was looking at some stats on ESPN.com between O'Brien and Crawford and they seemed to have nearly similar game-by-game stats (since O'Briend has only started twice). Gotta be nice to know that the future is bright with O'Brien (not something we look forward to), but I was curious...who are most SDSU fans pulling for to start?

I think most fans aren't too concerened either way, being as both have done well. But I think a lot of us would feel a little more comfortable with Crawford in there being the senior with the experience, and the coaches seem to have a more open playbook with him at the helm. Also a note on Jake Steffen, I drove by practice today and he was suited up and going strong, so I'm thinking we'll see him on the field for the Jacks. Should be a big boost to this defense, as he was, like JimmyJack said, having a huge year. Our defense didn't start allowing much offense until he was out. Part of that was the competition we played, but he definately had a huge impact for us.

Re: Next Up: South Dakota State Jackrabbits

there is no MVFC TV Game of the Week this weekend.
The Games of the Week are produced by Metro Sports out of Kansas City, and are made available to local outlets as well as the designated regional sports nets (whichever Fox Sports, or Comcast or whatever). And they only produce the minimum amount of games needed to cover each team once (with UNI being the only team to have had two games on it, which was necessary since it is a 9-team league).

I'm guessing that Saturday's game is being produced locally by the Brookings area Mediacom. And they're not going to sell the feed to their "competitor", CFU.

Thanks for explaining how the game of the week works, I was curious about that.

I was aware that Mediacom has "exclusives" to two games this year, but I was calling CFU to see how they could carry the games, and that's when they gave me the game of the week answer. It was tempting to sign up to Mediacom for this game and then go back to CFU, but more convenient to go to a bar, if they have it. Will have to call around to see which ones have Mediacom.

Re: Next Up: South Dakota State Jackrabbits

Mulligans ran a radio ad (during OPR) stating that they would be showing the game on "multiple hi-def big screens". Now whether that means they have Mediacom, or that they'll be showing the SDSU online feed on their TVs, I dunno.

Peppers will be showing some form of the game as well.

I haven't checked with either Becks yet.

Re: Next Up: South Dakota State Jackrabbits

Back to actual game talk. RSf Tommy O'brien will start at QB for us. Senior Ryan Crawford will dressed and ready to go if needed. Sounds like he's not 100% mobile yet so that it why Tommy is getting the nod.

Also, DE Jake Steffen will be playing (he was hurt in the same game as Crawford - Cal Poly).

Re: Next Up: South Dakota State Jackrabbits

Two weeks ago, we faced the #1 rusher in FCS.
And again last week we faced the #1 rusher in FCS.
(and while we didn't totally stop them, we contained them fairly well, holding them each to 40 or so yards below their respective averages)

This week, we face the #1 scoring defense in the FCS.
I don't think we'll be burning up the scoreboard or anything, but I'm fairly sure we'll score more than the 12.33 points that they've been giving up on average.

I think that's a fair bet. The question will be whether we can get our offense going enough against your tough D to win a relatively (both teams in the 20s) low-scoring game.

How are UNI's special teams?

We feel good about ours. We have a solid punter, a pre-season all-conference kicker (2nd team last year) and good returners.

Re: Next Up: South Dakota State Jackrabbits

Our punt returner is one of the best!

Mind games. I'm guessing if Crawford is dressed----he'll start.

I would be surprised if Herring isn't returning punts at SDSU this week. I don't think we'll have a freshman back their for an outdoor game especially one critical to our post season chances.
