« on: November 21, 2023, 06:39:59 PM »When we had our Space the other night (Listen), two things jumped out at me when looking at Duquesne that should work in our favor:
1. Their QB appears to lead the FCS with 18 interceptions (1.63 int's per game)
2. Their QB is completing just 51% of his passes
Obviously the weakest part of our team is pass defense. Knowing this QB has not been very accurate this year, if I am the DC I would bring pressure early and often to try to rattle their QB. If we can force him out of a rhythm early, I'd like to think we will be in good shape come the middle of the third quarter.
Go YSU!
I just looked at the Duquesne athletic website and learned that this quarterback is still in the mix for the Walter Payton Award. I'm serious, I can't make this stuff up. Also, their coach is a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award. I guess 7-4 and winning the NEC is a great accomplishment in the wacky world of FCS football.
They are similar to a mediocre to bad MVFC team. Massey Ratings, which I've found to be a pretty reasonable in terms of computer rankings has them at 65, which would put them at #10 in the MVFV
for comparison YSU is #13, Illinois State is #25, Murray State is #71
I don't think this will be a cake walk, but anything less than a W will be a huge underperformance
We better not look past them to the next game. Hope that we come out ready to play from the get go.

Looks like our league has 6 teams in the play-offs, 25 percent, impressive.

Watched the end of the ndsu uni game which udsu won by 21, interesting that the uni announcers still feel that uni has a good chance for the play-offs at 6-5. First I thought that you had to have 7 wins, but nice they are optimistic.

No big deal but I am surprised that they allow a horse to run on their track.

« on: November 18, 2023, 06:01:26 PM »Hope King is ok!I was wondering why he was still in there running. I don’t think Murray State if we just took a knee on the last drive when we reach the 30 yard line.
We need King if we were able to make the playoff. We should be ahead of SIU and ill. State. Unless UNI losses this evening, we would not make it in unless 5 teams in MVFC are chosen.
uni down 21-3 in 2nd

Got lucky on their long return, D stopped them, then fell for the fake punt and broken coverage. Not good enough
