UNI at SUU GAME THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DomeIsHome]

Ok I'm really bored at work and since I started creating these on Fridays it's time to fire up the next one!

24-21 UNI wins - Defense is able to slow down SUU's run and shoot offense just enough, and only two players/coaches/fans pass out due to no oxygen.

This one is the one that I thought was the trap from the beginning. Horrible travel, fast break spread air raid offense, young (and so far BAD secondary).

I think they simply outscore us.

Thunderbirds 48
Panthers 42
Time of Game: 4 Hours, 9 Minutes

Prove me wrong Cats...

There better be more and more exclamation points for each new thread.

Anyway, I expect this to be a game where we struggle for a bit but pull away in the end. Altitude could mess with Dunne for a bit, but he'll settle, and since we don't need to put in 11 in the box every play/covering s future NFL wideout, passing D will get a whole lot better. I'm still not sure about the run game, hopefully we can get that going, backfield is too stacked not to be doing well.

Altitude will not be an issue because as Farley stated several days ago, "we have hills, too."

I think the D takes a big step forward playing against what is a more traditional offense. Not all that different from ISU but minus the beasts at wideout and Montgomery in the backfield. I think it's a grind but we get a good road win...panthers by by two scores.

And as I pointed out - and was "liked" by several members of the time...Farley's math is perfect Farley logic

UNIDome elevation - 922ft
SUU Stadium - 5,800 ft

Farley logic at it's finest.


I didn't get my full breakdown posted in the behind enemy lines thread but the elevation for this games scares the hell out of me.

SUU plays fast. Think Oregon with Chip Kelly at the helm. Baylor with Robert Griffin at QB. Hawaii with Timmy Chang. It's shot gun, 4 wide with a RB that moves to a 5th WR. On run plays and completed passes they are snapping the ball every 17 seconds. They run a really good looking mix of long and short routes. Play off as DBs and you'll get dinked down the field. Play tight and they'll double move you to death.

I think this will be a game that we go with more 3 DL looks. I can't imagine guys like Douglas and Woods will "age" well at that elevation as the game goes on.

Our DBs better grow up, real fast, this week or it's going to be a long freaking day.

I was at the 2008 game where a much better than now UNI team defeated a much worse than now SUU team 34-24. That team was not ready to play and had to get ready to play while playing. If this team isn't ready to go, it will be a 'long freaking day.'

Sounds like a "Joe Davis" offense.

Alright let's go!

Not a great start to the game...

UNI's offense didn't make the plane. Not sure the defense did, either.

[pantherclaw]

Don't have sound not sure I want to though

[vbfan19]

now that UNI has the wind at their backs, can they get their first first down?
