  • Week 7 UNI FB playoffs vs Portland State Vikings

    Game time scheduled for Sat 12/05/15 @ 9 PM CT kickoff (7 PM in Portland)

    Tickets for this game are $20 for upper deck, $30 for lower bowl (more details here). I am told by a PSU fan that the $20 GA seats may actually be better seats for this game, as they are covered.

    Broadcasts
    TV - ESPN3.com / watchespn.com
    Radio - KXEL and panther radio network (streaming at kxel.com)

    Opponent info -

    Finished 9-2 (6-2 in conference) 2 FBS wins, 1 DII win
    Notable wins - FBS Washington State, FBS North Texas (ranked by Sagarin about 20-30 places below South Dakota, Eastern Washington, Cal Poly & Kansas - so maybe not a good win, per se)
    Notable losses - North Dakota (in Portland area, but not at normal stadium), at Northern Colorado

    HC is first year HC at PSU. PSU has not been in playoffs since 2000.

    Predictions -

    Massey FCS bracket prediction - http://www.masseyratings.com/tourn.php?t=729

    Massey has a 59% likelihood of a UNI win, 24-21. (This has been updated to account for latest win over EIU +2%).
    Sagarin shows about a 3.8 point UNI advantage (updated to reflect this EIU result +0.8 points)

    Weather is supposed to be damp/wet and in lower forties. yuck. I would expect a prototypical Farley gameplan as shown in EIU, namely a run heavy offense. PSU looks to have a fairly strong secondary.

    What are the odds that CMF has used a vanilla game plan against soft opponents the last few weeks and actually has a dynamic plan for this game?

      I'd say 100 to 1.
      At most 1 or 2 new wrinkles, but I really doubt he's held back anything too substantial.

        Zero. Without a consistent passing game, not much we can do to change at this point. Keep pounding the rock, and hope we catch breaks.

          The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

            Losing Malloy is a huge loss for us. He has become a real playmaker this last month or so.

                  The Vikings average 7,011 in home attendance. Their two big draws were the Montana schools. Seating capacity of 20,000.

                          Ha ha, and the funny this is, It's morning where I am right now. Living and working, for now, in China, otherwise I already would have tickets for the game on December 5th.

                          I'm hoping it will be a good game. I'll be watching it online.

                          I'm waiting to see what new wrinkles Barnum will dream up for this game. Especially when on any given play we might have anywhere from 3 to 5 current or former QB's on the field at the same time.

                            I knew you were on the other side of the globe (from AGS), which was half of the reason for my reply. haha.

                            There have been times when I wonder if UNI even has one QB on the field, though his passing has improved somewhat as the season has progressed.

                              What is his injury?
