The Yotes are terrible. WTH are you basing that on? We beat the Yotes by 20 no matter what happens this weekend.

They're 2-6 with the season over for them. They will have nothing to lose on senior day. We are coming off a bye, but we'll most likely be 5-5 and will have all the pressure. Our D line issues are not solved.

Nothing better than a early November battle between 2 FCS teams, One of them is 8-1 (extremely easy schedule), One of them is 5-4 (hardest schedule possible).

Should be a Slobberknocker

Well...

SDSU is 6th in SoS
UNI is 12th in SoS

First time in a while we haven't been top 3

Now looking at SoS predicted for the end of the season - SDSU stays at 6 and we move to 10.

Taking AFA and Iowa out UNI is technically a stronger schedule when using average massey rank for opponents

SDSU - average of 42

It's hilariously sad that we look at an SOS that's 10th nationally and go 'man, we had a pretty easy schedule this year. Only had to play the Top 2 instead of 3 of the top 4 because NDSU rotated off'....

Except when you run SOS by teams in the MVFC Northern Iowa is 8th. Ahead of only NDSU (who doesn't get to play NDSU), Youngstown who played 2 non-schollies & Illinois St

SOS is a tough metric regardless because the bad teams don't get to play themselves but I think my point still stands and shows how ridiculously we've scheduled over the years/

Just find a way to win….put up or shut up….put some life back in the unidome

I am truly disappointed. Looking at our section, it was more full for Mo State. I am really hoping it’s an oddity with my section, but guessing its not and even $10 flash tickets won’t bring a crowd. How far have we really fallen?

I mean, com on…Iowa plays at 11 so there is absolutely no excuse.

Roughly speaking looking at the ticket page, I'm reasonably confident that we will get 12-13k in the Dome today assuming the students show up. Hopefully bribing them with a 1k scholarship will be sufficient to accomplish that.

SDSU was in the backfield a lot against Iowa this year. Our O-Line needs to give Day time for some long throws and we need some short screen type plays to keep the ball moving.

I know Farley has this win-in-November and claw your way into the playoffs thing. But I'm tempering my expectations. Hoping for a 42-38 win, but...

Iowa's offensive line is an absolute unmitigated disaster of a dumpster fire. We're way better up front than they are. I'm not really concerned about anything offensively.

The key is getting off the field.

I like the sound of that.

Held em to 3 on their first drive after giving up the short field. Should have been nothing, but horrible tackling early. Positive they held them to 3 though

[QCPanther05]

Looks like a good crowd.
