WTH Trapped, I'm starting to believe there were no cheerleaders. Picks or it didn't happen.

Sucks that Dexter will have to sit out the first half next week

Feels great to be back in the quarter finals. We may not have the passing game that we want, but we are deadly nonetheless. From here on out Farley has a chance to get revenge in Fargo and then do what we should have done in 2008: beat Richmond in the semi-finals.

Thats a great win on the road in the playoffs in December. Sounds good to say. I'm still concerned offensively, and for the first time in years concerned with Special Teams.

This defense is so freaking special its not even funny, we have a tall order next week folks.

The third down conversion rate is bad, until the last drive tonight. It was either three-and-out or one big run for most of the night. That's a tough way to get it done and rough for the defense to be out there so much.

This defense is great. Just fantastic. Would still like to see DBacks wrap runners more, though. The line never gave up pressue and pursuit of the QB.

Now just need a reversal on the targeting call

At least Allen looked decent out there replacing him. Although playing NDSU is a different beast. Does anyone know, what LB's all suited up for these playoff games? According to the participation report, it was listed last week that McMakin, Farley, Dexter, Allen, Neal, Hill, Ferch, Jennings, and Willson played in that game.

Barkley Hill was out with an injury this week

Re: Week 7 UNI FB playoffs vs Portland State Vikings

I don't see why our special teams is so off this year. We returned an All-American kicker, we have plenty of great athletes to put on kickoff and punt teams, and I was hoping somebody could step up and be a solid, reliable returner. Instead, we've had a really inconsistent unit, which is kind of shocking considering the experience they all have.

Didn't Schmad get an injury against Eastern Wash or Cal Poly? I swear I read that somewhere. And Kuhter has been great. But other areas of ST need attention. Is Dorleant off punt returns completely since the EIU game? I don't recall him back to field any tonight.

Anyone know what Reth's injury is and if he'll be able to practice at all this week? He didn't even travel I heard

Re: Week 7 UNI FB playoffs vs Portland State Vikings

I'm 3-0 this week regarding in-state football teams:

1. Iowa State made a great hire of Matt Campbell.
2. UNI wins.
3. Iowa loses.

Great week!

That was the correct call, and hard to argue against.

Almost wonder if Hall moves up to the nickel position and put Feldspauch back at safety. Though I agree that Allen had some good minutes.

playoff teams are limited to a 60 man roster, and the traveling party is limited too (since the NCAA pays for the travel), so if isn't likely for a player to be able to play, they aren't going to travel. plus they can stay home a rehab instead of going through the stresses of travel.

(I have no clue what Reth's injury is, just saying that the "not traveling" part doesn't necessarily mean something long term)

so I guess defenders just aren't supposed to hit receivers at all.
