Once again, no one believes in our team. We went through this all last week and proved everyone wrong.

I watched UNH vs. Colgate yesterday. Santos and Ball looked very impressive. However, I just can't imagine those 2 being better than the combo we faced last night. Holy Crap was I impressed by Meyer. What a stud. How did Weber State hold EWU to 23 points?? I think UNH will get their points, but we will get ours, too. We have a very good offense that is playing pretty darn well right now. Horne gives us a good running game and we all know about Eric Sanders and the passing game.
Should be a good game.

my guess is that the EWU team was pretty healthy last night.....Originally posted by igo4uni
EWU complained all week about their injuries throughout the season....."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."

Well I think UNH has a right to be cocky in a sense being the #1 seed, I say let them be cocky so we have more fun shutting them up at the high school stadium they play at.
Their athletic website gives us a lot of credit :
Northern Iowa arrives in Durham with a 9-3 overall record fresh off an impressive 41-38 home victory over No. 15 Eastern Washington. The Panthers have won five straight games and included in that string are victories over other top 25 opponents such as Western Kentucky on the road (23-20 OT) and Southern Illinois (25-24).
Northern Iowa features a very balanced and explosive offense led by quarterback Eric Sanders, who has 2,146 passing yards this season and has thrown for 18 touchdowns. The Panthers also run the ball very well and have been led in rushing by David Horne with 822 rushing yards, 14 TDs and 68.5 yards per contest.Last edited by UNI Fight; 11-28-2005, 08:20 AM.GO PANTHERS!Comment

They'll score points against us. Hopefully it isn't quite as big of a shoot-out as it was Saturday. However, I still feel that the first D to step up will win the game for their team. Their defense is just as vulnerable as ours, maybe more so. I like our balanced attack vs their offense. UNI can win this if we can overcome the horrors that have plagued us on the road out East (see Boston U and Delaware in the playoffs).If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

Don't bring up the screw job at BU. Still burns meComment

I think a key for us is avoiding the early turnovers that could put us down 21-0. As great as this team has been with pulling the comeback, I do not think we can afford a big early deficit against UNH. Looking at our last two road losses in the playoffs, we have been in an early hole that we could not escape. That said, I have a good feeling about this game. The intangibles seem to be in our favor right now. GO PANTHERS!Comment

We're hot and confident...that's all that might matter. TO's and the early game are very important. We can't be down double-digits headed into the 4th quarter again, but if we get a chance to win with the last possession, we'll be just fine even though it's on the road.Comment

UNH scored two TD's in 11 seconds vs. Colgate...they go for the jugular when it's exposed. So UNI has to have some ball control offense (running the ball) with an efficient passing attack. Then, if defense and special teams can do their thing (like they've been doing the past 6 weeks) I think UNI can come out of New Hampshire with a "W". I hope the rest of the 'experts' are wrong."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

It sounds like the UNH defense is very soft, and will give up plenty of rushing yards. If we can control the clock, and stop their run (which I get a feeling we'll be able to do) we'll be in business.
If you look at UNH, they are 7-0 at home, but they haven't played anyone at home on the level of either SIU or YSU. I think that's a fairly inflated record.Comment

Turnovers will be difference in the game. If we don't give them the ball, I like our chances.Comment

I agree Reed...Colgate gave it to them 4 times on interceptions. If I remember the game correctly...3 of them...the Colgate QB threw it directly to a UNH defender.
Efficiency at QB and limiting TO's will be a key."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Farley had a great quote that if it's snowing, we're going to need a snowplow (i.e. a healthy Freeney) to help us control the clock. We need to keep their O off the field.If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game.

Just saw Freeney - has a boot on his leg now, but he said he's pumped for Saturday. It doesn't hurt him nearly as badly to run on grass as it does in the Dome... he'll do fine as our "snow plow"!!"...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."Comment
