Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

Well so far IF our team stays healthy and our coaches rotate players prudently I see four veteran players that we have seen so far on the count down. two on defense and two on offense. There is quite a bit of potential too.
Also if these veterans mentor the younger players this team may be awesome.

Defense:
98: Xavier Williams
94: Isaac Ales

Offense:
89: Brett LeMaster
87: Sam Rohr

What are your thoughts?

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

Lakes:

I don't want to insult your intelligence, but I would believe that you could go to the UNI Panther football page and count how many kids are from Minnesota.

Have fun and you will not have to take your shoes off to count.

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

Looks like around 9 by my count so that might require his shoes to come off. You have to remember he probably lost a few digits in the wood chipper.

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

77 days until the season opener against Iowa.

Game one: UNI travels down to Iowa City to take on the Iowa Hawkeye’s.

In recent times this has become a competitive game, in which I think the Hawkeye’s are not going to overlook. In 2009 Iowa was fortunate enough to block two consecutive field goals to seal their win. In 2012 Iowa took advantage of UNI and pulled the game out for another win. After UNI took care of Iowa State last year I think Iowa will be will be ready. UNI has almost always started well even against FBS opponents, ask Wisconsin 2012. If UNI stays healthy I see a very good game but UNI comes out on the short end again, although I would love to have UNI win.

UNI 24 Iowa 27

The main keys for UNI to win: Offense, play to win and never let up. Mix up the pass and run. Use the different tools that the offense has, in other words don’t run Johnson all the time, but if it works keep pounding on them.
Defense, keep the players fresh and get more experience for the young players, mix up the veteran players. Hit them often and hit them hard (cleanly).

If UNI can do the key things UNI can win with the reversed score above.

There nothing here that I would disagree with. Although I will go on record saying that I feel that UNI ccould post an upset if they do no let Iowa defeat them mentally. It seems Iowa always has the mental fortitude to get past UNI's scoring pushes and defensive stops and pull out the victory. UNI needs to learn from this and not let the hostile environment overcome them.
