***Game 12: WIU at UNI***

[SoccerDobber]

Lets just avoid the injury bug and force 2-3 turnovers. Keep it simple and not Farley it up. I feel like we SHOULD win big but more then likely it will be a 23-13 kind of game.

We have no running game, no RBs, and most of our pass catchers are out. I expect another very ugly win.

20-9 UNI.

Still think we have a decent shot at the 8 seed if Montana beats Montana State. Obviously a quarterfinal in Fargo isn't ideal but its better than playing on the road in the second round.

I disagree. If we could get a draw like we did when we got sent to Portland State with a second-round winnable game that sent us somewhere other than Fargo I feel like that's the ideal situation. It also opens the opportunity for a home quarter-final game if there is an upset.

Isn't keeping it simple what usually gets us into trouble?

Nope. That usually involves going away from what has been working. Offense racks up a bunch of yards thru the air? Lets run the ball straight up the middle the rest of the game and then on 3rd and 16, lets try a pass or a delayed run play.

Am I the only one that thinks that Illinois State could lose to YSU this weekend? If they can't run the ball they're extremely beatable.

I would be with you but YSU has completely and totally quit. You know how Iowa Basketball dies down the stretch because they've been screamed at for months? Yeah, that's exactly what's happening at YSU.

I mean that COULD happen even if we got the #8 seed. But I'd put the chances of NDSU being upset in the 2nd round AND UNI winning their 2nd round game at about the same chance as the Earth getting struck by an asteroid between now and then.

I thought the exact same thing. Good read

Deion McShane is dressed and doing receiver drills so looks like he will return today

[panther-state]

Any word on Weston? I assume they play it safe and sit him

Correct, he is in street clothes

On the "OnUNI" podcast, Sullivan (WCF Courier) said the McShane had been in practice this week and "was close" and "running sprints back and forth" FWIW. They also said that the goal for Hoosman is the playoffs and speculated that Westin and Moore might be ready for playoffs as well.

Offensive line is offensive.
