I agree with these points about the teams mental state; but to be honest, I do not want to see a close game here. SIU is not capable of winning their next three games (NDSU, SDSU and UNI). Probably not capable of winning a single one of them. Their October schedule is our November. I would like to think we are competitive with those three & can knock off at least one of them. I do not agree that NDSU is the top team this year ...it is SDSU. In fact, I think they will probably win it all. They have everything that NDSU has + the finesse that NDSU lacks. We simply need to lose no less than 2-more games. We need to finish in the top-3 & have to be above either (NDSU, SDSU, or UNI) with no tie.
