I will admit to knowing little about our next opponent. Looks like they score a lot of points but also give up a lot of points. In 2009, in the 2nd game, they beat a team called Texas College 92-0!

Re: Up Next: SFA
I think this game will tell us volumes about how this year is going to turn out. While it was nice to get the win against NDSU and the overall team talent was evident, NDSU didn't provide the test I was hoping for.
I'm thinking about driving up for the game, because it promises to be a barn-burner. -

I'm guessing this game will be the equivalent of playing UNH or EWU in the playoffs....pass happy offenses...Originally posted by Big_Al View Post
I just like our chances with the game being in the Dome and traveling from Texas is a long distance to travel."We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."

Re: Up Next: SFA
The Lumberjacks will prove to be a salty opponent for the Panthers. UNI has a nice edge (5-2) in the series, but the games have been pretty close. I think UNI has been somewhat fortunate that they have been able to play SFA more times in the dome than on the road. I don't think SFA will be prepared for the speed of this Panther team.
I can't wait to see how the LBs and secondary play against SFA's pass offense. But I really want to see how the DL deals with their quick pass, screen game and if they will get any kind of pressure when they do go long.Go Panthers!Comment

Re: Up Next: SFA
Same day, 6 years ago.
I was just a freshman at UNI, hadn't been to a college football game at the Dome yet, and was just beginning my superfan-dom by going to all the VB games in the west gym. My first football game was SFA that year. We lost a wild game 24-21. Justin Surrency, was a junior that year and had 2 TD catches in the game after SFA had jumped out to an early lead in the 2nd quarter. We trailed the entire game but the comeback we had and a chance to win/tie it late was the first itch of what UNI meant to me.
Hopefully the outcome is different this year but SFA was my first UNI football experience! I just wanted to share since its this week, the same day 6 years later.Comment

Re: Up Next: SFA
And I'm pretty sure they'll be doing the promotion/special where your football ticket stub will get you general admission into the volleyball match against Wichita State Sat. night.
So make it a Panther-packed evening by heading on over to the McLeod after the football game!
UNI/WSU volleyball matches are usually some of the most exciting to watch.Comment

Re: Up Next: SFA
Here is the local paper write up about the impending game. BTW, I don't believe we have won 20 games aginst FBS opponents - have we?
The jacks look a bit beat up on both sides of the line. Starting left guard is out, being replaced by a true freshman, if the two deep is held. LG Wright @ 6'2" 289 vs back LG Damian at 6'6" 310.
They do have a huge nose tackle Saurit who checks in at 6'0" and 310.
Looking at the box score from last week, the longest pass was 39 yards.
I hope the coverage of the short passing game is better than what history has shown using the previous 4-3.Comment

Re: Up Next: SFA
My wife and I discussed this same thing when the schedule was announced at the NDSU game. I only hope that the volleyball team did not get rid of the black uniform bottoms like the football team?!?!?!?!Originally posted by JayJ79 View Post

Re: Up Next: SFA
Not much on AGS about this game which is disappointing. Thought maybe we would get more mention.
I see our speed being the difference, especially our LB's making plays. If this happens and eliminates, or, at least hinders the SFA short pass plays then we win big. Could be a statement game for our young team. Rennie learns a great deal in the film room this week and progresses nicely between weeks one and two. Rennie will see how plays can be made by #1, #2, and #21, among others, and this will bode well for our scoring.Some people feel the rain..........others just get wet.

Re: Up Next: SFA
One thing I would like to see is that Rennie learn to tuck that ball a bit better. More often than not I have seen the wing flappin out in the wind while passing tacklers. It may be poor camera angles, but it doesn't look like a good thing.Comment

Re: Up Next: SFA
They wore black shorts in two of their matches up in Minneapolis, and purple shorts in their match vs. Minnesota. Didn't see any of their other matches (just listened on the radio), but I believe the had black shorts for the Iowa State match.Originally posted by bobsboy84 View PostMy wife and I discussed this same thing when the schedule was announced at the NDSU game.

But hey, if they want to play without the uniform bottoms, I will support their decision....
