For some reason unipanthers.com pegs my cpu on my desktop. Nearly unusable from phone browser.

I think I heard they run. 5-2.

it looks like a 3-4. a lot of zone coverage though

Is it a 3-4 with OLBs creeped up or is it a 5-2 with zone coverage?

P.S.- how is your dad?

doing well and OLB creep ups, but a lot of zone coverage in the secondary. We don't like the deep ball to beat us and I think this year for the most part we've been successful at that. Look out for #4, he's a playmaker.

I don't think ESPN has the say on it, as it isn't televised (only web-streamed). could be wrong though.

Mr. Dannen didn't have any update on game time at the media luncheon (12:30-ish).

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

Anyone know if there'll be another Des Moines gamewatch for ESPN3 like there was for the NDSU game? I plan on making every attempt to get up to the Dome for the game but things are never certain! OR, anyone know of a bar that would play an ESPN3 game? It's not hard to hook a laptop up to a TV but some bars may not want to mess with it.

Cooney's! I'm sure Brian would have no problem hooking DSM Panther fans up!

The UNI ticket office can 100% hook you up for the game (save all the ticket office wise-cracks). Nothing like a playoff game in the Dome!! Would love to see a steady stream of proud purple and gold wearers trekking up I-35 and US 20 in a week and a half.

This will be the first time I have attended a home playoff game in a very, very long time.

I've been watching Wofford highlights on YouTube now for a while this morning. It's reminding me of my Denver Broncos...run, run, run, run , run, pass, run, run, run, run, run, etc. But the passes they do have on highlight reels are for big plays. The secondary is going to be needed to come up and stop some runs but then don't fall asleep vs. the pass b/c they can beat you for big gains deep. Key to this game for the defense looks like the obvious: stop the run, force them to throw and force 3rd and long situations where they need to pass. Their defense is no slouch either. I think Rennie will need a decent throwing day for UNI to get where we need to be at the end of the day Dec. 3

I can't wait to see this matchup, reading on paper can only keep my interest for so long! Glad we have 2 weeks to prep though, and I bet they are as well.

That is the PITA about their offense. It isn't exactly like Air Force and others run, but it is similar. It is difficult to prepare for as you don't see it very often unless you are in their conference. Your scout team has a hard time simulating the offense as it takes the offensive players a long time in the system to run it the right and correct way. I personally hate playing the triple option for those reasons. As far as Wofford goes, their fans seemed great and I enjoyed the last time we played them, even though we lost. I hung out on their boards when we played them and they seemed very cool to me.

People complaining about the seeding? If I remember correctly we all were complaining about the basketball seeding a couple of years ago and if I recall we shocked the world.
