Anyone going to the game this weekend?  I just booked my ticket and am riding the train out on Friday.

Thats awesome man, is awesome to see the travelling support. Wish I could do the same.

You guys have your QB back?  If not, better keep rolling Moeller or however you spell his name.

And when he rolls, DO NOT ALLOW HIM TO THROW.  Or is he just rusty?  That roll out pass was pretty bad.  The kid has some ability on the scramble though.  Fun to watch.

Maybe we should get MHANSON's take on the game? LOL

Jensen ended up slightly concussed.  Sanford doctors will evaluate him this week.  I understand he is fine and should be good to go.  Could change though.  He throws a better deep ball but has been inaccurate throwing on the run.  He is a threat to run the ball effectively but his durability is starting to be a question.

Jose usually throws pretty well on the run.  That INT on Saturday was incredibly bad.  He has not shown the ability to throw a good deep ball and doesn't have much pocket presence.  A little pressure makes him turn into a rabbit.  He certainly can't run through any tackles like Jensen can.

As usual, the outcome will rest heavily on the performance of the defense.  I really hope the team retains their focus and doesn't start to believe the press clippings.  They need to approach the game like they have something to prove.

haha, i deserve that shot, as a diehard bison fan im still in shock from last weekends game, i would love to take the train out as well but have to work, anyways, i do think the bison have a good shot this weekend.

Jensen seems to have a gun on him.  Being out for most of the year it was evident his gun was a liability with his over throws.  Or at least, that is what I blamed his inaccuracy on.  But what you are saying is he is always that way?  Too bad, I thought maybe with some time he'd contain the gun and throw the ball to the receiver instead of over their heads.

Ha ha, yeah and run through the tackles.  I can see that but man, wow, uffda may, that was not a wise run on his part.  I suppose the frozen field had something to do with it but talk about offering himself up for a nasty hit.

Aw CRAP.  I wish you would have said there is zero chance of a win.  It was working for us.

Still, the Eagles are the BSC co-champs and talented.  Especially their RB.  They have won 8 straight or something like that.  I ama bit concerned that we might come out flat after the big win last week.  We can't afford that.

Jensen was much more accurate earlier.  I'm talking before he broke his collarbone at YSU.  Keep in mind that this is primarily on throws from the pocket.  When he is on the run, I haven't seen too many good throws and some incredibly bad ones.

The mere fact that they try to stretch the field with Jensen is a benefit to the running game.  It would be nice if they had more than just Holloway as a deep threat.  Howard gets yards after the catch but doesn't burn speedy corners deep.  I don't know what to expect from Mack.  Flashes but nothing consistent.

Thats what I was thinking too!!!!

Just razzing you MHANSON, nothing personell!!!!

I will be there!  Had so much fun in Bozeman we are heading back again!  We got lucky and nabbed 9 tickets in the front row at about the 40.  Multiple Montana State fans told us that if we play like we played Saturday, that the Bison won't have any trouble with Eastern Washington.  The Bobcats beat them 30-7.  Go Bison!

An NDSU fan airline charter has been organized by Bison Athletics and they need to fill the plane by noon, Tuesday, December 7.

Im not looking forward to watching that red field on TV mostly for the headache factor but am also concerned about how sweet is home sweet home for E Washington. I know homefield should never be much of a factor but just the added distraction is enough to be on guy's minds which is an added advantage to already being at home sleeping in your own bed.
