How Many MVFC Teams Survive The Round of 16?

[D1B]

I said 0 but I think UNI will probably win.

Interesting. My thought is that if one wins, it's most likely NDSU. I don't think UNI stands a chance against Wofford....if they couldn't handle Lehigh last year, I see NO reason for them to handle the oddities of a triple option THIS year.

Agree. Montana will get beat worse though the following week.

God, what a dope. Whole different year..............

You don't wanna see me and D in Missoula, you fvck?

C'mon, Tommy.

You would have to drive...didn't the airlines ban you?

[Gil Dobie]

........and Delaware losing to the same team means nothing.

Agreed. However, four different CAA teams winning the chipper since 2003... that's another story.

So Montana has less relevance than the MVFC, because it hasn't won since before the MVFC won it's last title.

[D1B]

North Dakota may end up with more wins than the Big Sky.

NDSU and GSU are the shiz nitzel. Everyone else is just decent.

[Gil Dobie]

Agreed

Apparently they count moral victories in the MFVC.

2-1 record last year in the playoffs trumps a DII win and no playoffs.

[Theee Catrabbit]

Both teams win......as long as NDSU continues to host, they will continue to win through the playoffs. That is all....back to your pooh flinging, monkeys.

After watching JMU last week, I'm not impressed. It would take an absolute meltdown for NDSU to lose this one. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they are better than what they played like, but that is what I saw. UNI will have a tough time, but I think they can pull it off as well.

speaking of "meltdowns", how did NDSU do against an unranked Youngstown team at home just 2 weeks ago?

Let's stop pretending Youngstown State is chopped liver. They (YSU) had a ton of close losses and have the best QB-RB tandem in the MVFC, so they're not god-awful. Recently they have given NDSU fits...home or away. It happens. Bad losses happen. I'm not sure I would claim JMU outclasses YSU in any category, personally. Not justifying losing to them, but you need to give credit where it is due and Youngstown wasn't bad at all.

BROCK JENSEN/DJ MCNORTON.

Wrong...

Cook is better than any one back UNI has. And Hess' numbers were damn good for a sophomore.

Gold what? Golden showers in the beefalo locker room after the loss to JMU?

[panther-state]

Wrong...

Cook is better than any one back UNI has.

And clearly there is no bias in that

TSN even said specifically that Rennie and DJ made for one of the nations most productive QB-RB tandems. If Carlos had been healthy for most of the year then this wouldn't even be a question.

The dude is Chuck Norris' stunt double for god's sake....when Boothby is too busy saving orphans and orphaned puppies from burning buildings

Sorry pal, but I'm pretty sure that the MVFC All-Conference first team had Kurt Hess and Jamaine Cook on it. Didn't see UNI's RB on either the first or second team. Rennie made the first team, but again, no other UNI skill position guy made the cut. Be as subjective as you want- I'm going to take the word of coaches who played and game planned for these guys over some internet fans'.

An interesting thing in the Spartanburg paper today. Ayers said that UNI had not seen a 3 -back formation, or at least not consistently, and they key is how they'll adjust to that. UNI has only played like 2 triple option teams all time (call me out if that's wrong?), one being Nichols State, the other GSU in 85.

I don't know if UNI has played more than 2 TO teams but I do know that Farley played against GSU in 85. If memory serves, Tracy Ham and GSU gained more than 500 yards on the UNI D that day and they still needed to score with less than 2 minutes to go to win the game in regulation. For those UNI fans that think playing a TO team is like playing any option team, it isn't. Mo St ran the option back then and GSU's TO was like nothing UNI had seen before. I do have confidence that Farley will use his experience and the extra week to have UNI as ready as possible for Wofford.

UNI should be favored but Wofford is more than capable of winning this game.

YT, is there any chance I could get my hands on a Wofford playbook? I'd be interested in looking for elements that I could incorporate into the playbooks for the youth teams I coach.

There are some threads in there with WU plays diagrammed.

It also seems you can call up their coaching office and speak with them -- send 'em $20 or so (most likely for copying and postage expense) and they'll hook you up, and turn your 'youts' into little Ankle-Biters.

[ASU Mike]

I'm going with 1. NDSU should take care of JMU but I think UNI is going to have their hands full with the ankle-biters.

umm....I dunno, but you could go to the terriers youtube page and watch some highlights, I've watched them a few times and stopped and started each play, it's easy to figure out some of the plays I think

[The Kicker]

Going to say it now, more MVFC teams will Survive the Round of 16 than Montana teams!

[FargoBison]

Two, the bye week was huge for both teams. It gave NDSU a chance to get healthy and gave UNI some time to prepare for Wofford's offense. If both teams didn't have byes my answer would probably be different.

I tried to tell you guys....

[guinzone]

Keep it up MVFC. Shut the critics up!

How about a "push"?
