Lost an OR at the RB spot.

Here's to expecting to find out who 4th string is again this week for one final pre-conference tune up.

Dowdell should start at RB. Rhamir used in passing downs is the obvious plans, but I don't like such an easy tell for opposing defenses. I hope Dowdell gets at least 60% of the snaps (would prefer higher - let the man work and get in a rhythm). I also hope our playcalling starts to get less easy to read simply by how we line up and who is in the backfield. We need to be able to keep defenses guessing more.

Ya I can’t tell. UTEP was 28.5. I get northern Cockeye is FCS but UTEP is currently 2nd to last in FPI. Not sure how they compare

Yeah UTEP is bad, but they at least want to pass it all over the field. Northern Cockeye is exactly the opposite, and it is a brutal match up for their offense. I am thinking like 45-7

What do we think the spread opens at?

Gonna guess ~29. UNI is 2-0 & ranked #21 in I-AA. Running team that will shorten the game a bit. Potential "letdown" game for us to not be rolling as sharply as we could/should after all the juice for CU.

 

[Kazman5k]

I kind of want our defense to get a shutout. It’s been a long time since we had one

 

[Dell Husker]

No Nebraska line yet. Nothing on Draftkings either

 

[macmoolah]

Should be a good matchup stylistically heading into Illinois.

Not sure why Alvano keeps getting chances at this point. His first PAT was lucky not to be blocked, he still pull hooks half his field goals. Missing a 32 yarder by that much? what else is there left to see? It’s a shame he had one good night 2 years ago and that was the peak of his career, but that’s where we’re at.

They need to blow basically everyone out the rest of the year because they'll lose close games due to kicking.

Like we really going to expect Alvano to convert anything in the Shoe? Might as well just go for it if they're too close to punt and go for 2 every time with the hopes they convert 50%

First PAT was a snap and hold problem. He had to delay his approach.

Still he think he needs to be replaced but that one wasn't on him.
