On the "OnUNI" podcast before the WIU game, Nelson (WCF Courier) said the McShane had been in practice this week and "was close" and "running sprints back and forth." And he dressed for WIU, right?

They also said that the goal for Hoosman is the playoffs and speculated that Weston and Moore might be ready for playoffs as well.

Against WIU, SE Seth Thomas left in the first defensive series, in street clothes in second half according to the sideline reporter of the ESPN broadcast. The reporter said "lower body injurt." In post game radio show, Petey or Rima asked Farley about Thomas and Farely said he knew nothing about Thomas' injury or condition.

San Diego's starting Qb, Reid Sinnett, is from Johnston.

They didn't last year but San Diego won first round playoff games in 2016 and 17 against scholarship schools.

27-10 Panthers.

Interestingly, San Diego hasn't lost a game in the Pioneer League since 2015.

They lost one each in 2014 and 2015.

Playoffs 5 of last 6 years. Two wins.

They'll bring a good offense into the Dome. We need to put some pressure on that QB and make him hurry.

And we need to hit their skill guys early and often.

Come out angry boys.

Not to be "it's San Diego" guy, but seriously, it's San Diego. I want the full team back, but if they're not 100%, I don't want them to risk it for the week after.

San Diego isn't your normal PFL program
they are going to be miles and miles and miles better than Monmouth 17

Closer to Lamar last year I'd bet

[UNIGrainer]

This will be a close one. You can bet they’ll have a chip on their shoulders. Hopefully we do too.

SD is averaging upper 40's in points for their last 6 games. Only 5 games under 40 points. All 5 were in the 30's and were the first five games of the season. Only losses were first two games against good FCS teams. In other words, this is an offense with some potency. Should make for an interesting offensive game. Hope it causes Farley to open up the playbook.

FWIW ...

In the FCS, Massey has their offense ranked 14th, defense ranked 63rd against UNI's 40th-ranked offense and third-ranked defense. Their SoS at 99th and UNI's SoS at 7th. (https://www.masseyratings.com/cf2019/fcs/ratings)

They beat Drake 49-7 earlier this month. Wish that was our common opponent.

I will be putting my mortgage on UNI no matter the spread. when NDSU played San Diego 3 years ago, they supposedly had their best team ever, NDSU just physically dominated them. UNI is wise to do the same. 44-7

[UNIdad]

Long road for UNI to play NDSU again.

Long road for UNI to play NDSU again.

UNI ended their last long winning streak. Might as well end this one too (in Frisco)
