The South Dakota game

[ysufan0505]

South Dakota's defense is tough. They are undefeated at home and have been playing much better since the QB change they made.... It will be a battle.

[Wick250]

I agree this, like all road games, will be difficult.  We could certainly beat ourselves if we are unprepared and not properly motivated.  As far as South Dakota being undefeated at home, let's look at the three opponents.  They beat Cal-Davis, 10-7, Missouri State 17-14, and Indiana State 17-14.  As far as YSU and our aversion to playing in a dome, the WATTS center should have removed that obstacle.  We can simulate the atmosphere and the field conditions (no crown) perfectly.  Bottom line: we need to do our jobs, no excuses.

[lakesbison]

Wick can you simulate high school teams using the field too?  Oh wait, wrong south dakota team! Haha.

YSU will crush USD, the coyotes got beat 50-0 by ndsu last year.   UNI is just that bad.

You say we'll get crushed every week. We're not the same team we were last year. YSU will be doing great if they take us by more than 7.

That is an NDSU fan putting smack on our board.

YSU's offense will be tough to slow down in a dome.  Guins 35 - 21.

Ill be very disappointed if we win by only 7, if SDU was worth a damn they wouldn't be 4-4

I suppose it would be a disappointment since your record is so good, but prepare to be disappointed. We're a young improving team, doing very well under our new QB that had sweeping changes throughout the whole team. Don't just look at our record, we made a very drastic change after starting 1-3 and are 3-1 since. The line I see for the game has us at 7.5 point underdogs, so I'm not the only one that thinks a 7+ point win would be overachieving.

We had our chances against IlSU, but couldn't execute on offense when it counted most. The punting game put the defense in a bad spot all day, and 3 of the 4 scores given up started well into our territory. Defense was beyond clutch in the 4th like they have been all year, forcing 3 turnovers as well as a turnover on downs at our 30 yard line while giving up no points. The last 4 games in the 4th quarter the opponents have combined for 125 yards on 59 plays with 6 turnovers, and we currently possess the #2 ranked pass defense and #5 total defense in the NCAA.

Expect a good game. We are a second half team, so don't get too excited if you get out to an early lead. We are 44-8 at home in the last 10 years, the Dome is historically a very tough place for visitors, and we are already 3-0 this year at home.

They were 1-10 last year and only lost to us by 3 @ Stambaugh--we have to keep the pedal down for the entire game--Team Choke was up on them 28-6 with 6minutes left in the 3rd qtr. and ended up losing.Let's not take them lightly and take care of business because we must take control of our destiny--with our high ranking they will be even more motivated to knock us off.

I agree,

We can win all remaining games or lose them. Have to stay focused and take one game at a time and take each one seriously.

Nah, you're a mediocre 4-4 team who's not that great. Its just like the old saying goes your only as good as your record. YSU should win pretty comfortably probably by 17 min.

im expecting a pretty easy win,  we are facing a average at best team, ill be worried about our playoff run if we cant beat a 4-4 team to clinch a playoff spot basically YSU has one of best offenses in football and i dont see SDU stopping them too often

If we're only as good as our record, then perhaps you should just pay attention to our record since we changed QBs, 3-1. Another good record is our home record, 3-0.

Your offense and record is very inflated by an incredibly back-loaded schedule, don't be surprised if we're the first ones to bring you a little closer to Earth. Not a chance in hell you guys win by 17 min, not even close. That arrogance won't serve you well, you've got a lot to prove still. This will be a game whether or not you want to recognize it going in. We aren't a doormat, especially not at home.

No need for locker room material. In today's age it is easy for things like this to get to the players on both sides. There is no need to talk smack. The games are played for a reason.  It will come soon enough. 

Our offense has not been as good against the better defenses and they have a very good defense. Also our weakness is defending the pass and they seem like they have this figured out with the QB change. They are at home and we've never played there. We are also coming off a bye week, hopefully we don't have to make adjustments to the speed of the game. This is a dangerous game.
