Re: UNI vs NDSU

Johnson entering draft? That would be a huge mistake on his part.

Re: UNI vs NDSU

Johnson is going nowhere after this year...

I'd love it if he stayed, but I think there is a really good chance he's gone.

Re: UNI vs NDSU

our best player probably won't be returning next year, so let's just win this year!

Who are you talking about?

Re: UNI vs NDSU

They made exactly the right call. One yard to win the game? It's the obvious right call. Punt from their own half?

I want coach against your football team

Let your emotions cool down and think with your head.

If the other team has a chance to get it back, you'd rather give the other team a chance to only have to go 25 yards to win the game vs 60+ yards? When you supposedly have a lights out defense?

Re: UNI vs NDSU

I was at commercial break when they showed the replay of the injury to Farley. From what I read here, it looks like a broken leg.

What happened that makes anyone think it was broken?

I replayed it on the DVR. His knee was bent backwards, underneith a couple other players. Might be more than a break. Whatever it is, he is done for the season.

Someone rolled up on it. It's broken. Replay was whoa.

Not unless we make a deep playoff run and he's over 2000 yards. He's an NFL prospect, but not a can't miss.

I am just depressed beyond words right now.

What a loss.

Do some of you people even watch football or understand sports?

Johnson going to the draft early???

Speechless

Re: UNI vs NDSU

First, have to give credit to NDSU. When you win Championships you get to build depth. We just ran out of playmakers. Farley is a big loss but we have a lot of season left to get better and make that playoff run. This team can beat anyone in FCS. Could have won this one, but we didn't. Save the meltdown emotion for another game.

I'm sorry but you go early if you're going to go in the first few rounds or you're not sure you'll be eligible in another year. Neither of those currently apply to DJ. There have been plenty of other FCS players just as or more talented than him who did not go because they knew it wouldn't be a good move.

Yeah let's not be the Clones and go into meltdown mode after losing to a better team. FWIW they did almost did it after losing to Iowa and Texas too

Re: UNI vs NDSU

I've been told that the staff does not even expect him back at this point. It would take a major change of heart or draft stock.

I did say probably, by the way, I'm just saying I think it's a decent possibility. You may disagree and think it's slim to none, which is fine, you may be correct. I hope you are.

He's just so talented and has size and speed. He's been dominant all year, despite defenses designed primarily to stop him.

i really think if he had stayed 100% healthy through this game, we would have won.
