Conference Champs

[Grinch]

[B]I feel that if we win out we'll still be are atleast share the conference championship still this year. North Dakota State i kinda feel is going to have a let down n lose to Indians state, then have a tuff bounce back game against a youngstown state team thats going to give us alot of problems. So i believe were in great shape our only true issue is if Rennie will be able 2 finish the season for us.

Re: Conference Champs

Have to disagree. We take 2nd place this year. Am guessing if we continue to play like we have the last couple games, we are going to lose 1-2 more. Our defense is fine, our offense is what is not working. Receivers dropping balls (or falling down when they are alone running for a touchdown), offensive play calling (double entendre) and a lack of being able to smack the other team in the helmet and dictate the line of scrimmage. Until we have better execution on the offense, we are going to end up watching other teams play in the second round of the playoffs.

Re: Conference Champs

Re: Conference Champs

and a lack of being able to smack the other team in the helmet

nah, they tend to throw a penalty flag for that these days.


As for a share of the conference championship....
it could happen, but I'm not holding my breath.
NDSU is a good team, and I think they have the capability of winning out. But Indiana State is a good team too and could get the win in their matchup.

Also, I haven't been "wowed" by UNI's performance the past few weeks. Just haven't seemed to be hitting on all cylinders. They're certainly capable of winning out, but they could also drop another game or two.

If the Panthers do win out, they're definitely in the playoffs, and should have a good chance at a top 5 seed.
If they lose a game (ending up at 8-3), they're still a lock for the playoffs, but probably not a seed, and could possibly end up playing Thanksgiving weekend.
If they lose two games (ending up at 7-4), they'll probably still make the 20-team field, but would quite likely play that first weekend.
(and if they lose all three, they're done)
