Dunne will get benched at halftime and Bailey will pull off the win. Then UNI will choke themselves out of the playoffs the following week.

I hope Farley finally pulled his head out of his ass, but alas, I do not think he will be able to until it is too late. I do not know why it has taken this long to get Dunne in, since supposedly he was beat out by Bailey, but that makes no sense. I know it was explained earlier by clenz, but how the hell did he win out of fall camp? The answers do not line up. NDSU will end up playing to their competition and will be a slug fest in the trenches, but if Dunne shows up like he did against MSU, NDSU will be up **** creek.

Would have to imagine that NDSU gets a better pass rush than the Bears mustered. That said, watching Dunne was almost always throwing in 2.5 - 3 seconds after the snap. Hell, he hit 10 different receivers including the TE. I didn't know you could throw to a TE - Farely said that was illegal.

I doubt Dunne was ever given the opportunity to win the job out of fall camp.
No matter how good he may have performed in camp, Farley was dead set on Bailey being the starter.
Hopefully MF has finally seen the light, but I'm not holding my breath.

Of course, NDSU's defense will be a much much tougher test (even if their D isn't quite as stingy as it has been previous seasons) than Missouri State's for Dunne and the UNI offensive line.

That's the "crazy" part about it. We are used to Bailey holding the ball for 5 or 6 seconds running around with no true direction. Dunne allowed a pocket to form around him. Stepped up into the pocket, read the entire tree and got rid of the ball in the time Bailey would read the first route of the exact same tree.

There were plenty of down field routes, however, the number of drags, slants, flare, etc... giving Eli the check down was nuts.

Theory - They wanted to clear defensive backs and backers out to open space for Bailey to run if he wanted. Thus the only routes he was "allowed" to throw were down field. Dunne isn't nearly as mobile - it was odd watching a QB run and go double checking that I didn't hit the slow motion button on my tivo remote - so a better mix of routes was called.

Dunne doesn't throw a pretty spiral but he throws a damn nice pass.

Dunne is no running threat when compared to Bailey. (Not many are, though).

However, I think that Dunne has the ability to run much like Alex Smith. One of the "unathletic" QBs that frustrates the hell of the defense by eluding the sack.

BTW - Dunne actually has 10 pounds on Bailey. It just doesn't look like it. Dunne is 6' 5", Bailey @ 6' 2"

NDSU is so scared that they don't even show up. UNI thinking it is a trick decides to play it safe on every play by taking a knee, which over time eventually ends up being a safety and NDSU wins 2-0 in a barn burner. NDSU defense (even though it isn't there) holds UNI to -189 yards. However, UNI does win the time of possession 60 minutes to 0 for the moral victory.

I just do not understand what Farley saw? Did he see Sawyer 2.0 and panic and stick with his 2 headed rushing attack and hope that the UNI D would lock down enough so they would only have to average 21-27pts a game and have the D stick it to the opposing offense.

I'm convinced that Farley became obsessed with the notion of running QBs after App State (and perhaps some of the FBS successes), and then repeatedly tried to find such players from JuCo or FBS transfers. Problem with that is that a truly "dual threat" player isn't going to end up at the FCS level.

And it wouldn't surprise me if he made some sort of promise to Bailey of getting the starting QB job to get him to transfer, which is why he stuck with him for so long even though it became quite obvious that that sort of offense wasn't going to cut it against the top FCS teams (at least not with what UNI has in place at other spots in the offense).

Bailey is a heck of an athlete with his running game, but I'm just not impressed with his throwing ability or field analysis/reads. And when a good defense can just key on the run game without much of a passing threat, the results become what we've seen from UNI the first half of this season.

I got a chance to watch some of the UNI game. My first impressions of Dunne.

- He's pretty much the exact opposite of Bailey
- Likes to throw deep and will throw 50/50 balls and give his guys a chance to make a play
- Seemed comfortable in the pocket although MSU rarely was able to apply much pressure
- Makes good decisions and seems comfortable reading a defense
- He isn't real mobile, and looks to pass the ball almost exclusively vs. pull down and run
- Arm strength seems average, and his delivery seems a little slow

All in all, for NDSU, I think they have to prepare for Bailey even though he most likely won't start, but he is still an injury away. For Dunne, I think the LBs and DEs can be more aggressive against the run considering the lack of QB run threat although UNI ran a lot of read option. I didn't see Dunne keep it once in what I watched tho. On the opposite end the secondary is going to have to give more respect towards the passing game especially the deep pass. There's going to be plenty of plays where it will come down to who makes the play. UNI's WR/TEs or the Bison Secondary. NDSU's pass rush should/needs to be better than the bears. Obviously the more pressure the better. How much of an effect it will have on Dunne is yet TBD.

I'd be shocked to see UNI put up any where near the points they did against MSU against the Bison. However, UNI's defense isn't going to give up many points either. I'd really like our chances against the young QB in the Fargodome with the noise to help hold disguised coverages. However, in the UNI-dome I think this game is a coin flip. Some big plays either way will probably determine this one, IMO.

1) he had Eric Sanders playing through 2007
2) Pat Grace ran quite a bit, at least early on
3) it wasn't just Richie Williams, but also the success that Armanti Edwards had
4) it's Farley

Grace wasn't a dual threat QB. He was 6'2 260lbs. He moved well but is hardly a running QB.

If you want to go that route to back to Tracy Ham, who Farley played against.

Or Ricky Santos from New Hampshire. If Grace was a runner so was Santos.

Sanders has underrated mobility.

If he'd have stayed with with the Grace mold UNI would be much better off than we are.

There's a lot of reasons that this game is worrisome as an NDSU fan:
1) UNI always plays NDSU tough.
2) NDSU is far from clicking on all cylinders (or maybe even half of its cylinders) right now.
3) UNI appears to have a QB who can throw the ball which is the biggest deficiency in the Bison defense this year.
4) UNI has their backs against the wall which always seems to bring out the best in them.

That said, due to these reasons, UNI fans are probably in the same boat. As in "it looks too good to be true that our 3-4 team will win this huge game so it must be too good to be true". I have no clue how it'll end up. My head tells me that UNI probably has a 60% chance to win this game but my heart tells me the Bison will find a way to win it ugly again. Regardless of the outcome, I think there will be a lot of white knuckles and facepalms on both sides this Saturday.

Professor Chaos

One other note I'd make is neither of these teams is particularly adept at defending the pass. NDSU is 57th in the FCS in defensive pass efficiency at 126.78 and UNI is 49th at 122.45. However, both teams are very stout against the run. NDSU is 16th in the nation allowing 3.22 yards per rush and UNI is 12th allowing 3.12 yards per rush. Both teams are going to have to throw it in order to consistently move the chains.

Let's be honest though NDSU is just a little bit better than MSU. I have a hard time believing we can do the same things to the NDSU defense we did to the Bears defense.

Implications for a loss by either team?

If UNI loses, they will be playing for the opportunity to be on the playoff bubble for the remainder of the season.

If NDSU loses, I would guess a top two seed would be gone. Most likely would need to lose a third game to miss out on the playoff bye.

Is that a reasonable assessment?

I think with a loss UNI is out. I highly doubt they can get in at 6-5 even if there is a win over SDSU. We would only have two possibly three quality wins in SDSU and Iowa State and maybe WIU. There would only be one questionable loss with USD, but I still see it being hard if we lose another game to get in.

If NDSU can actually play a full game, I think we win. Problem is we it's a 2/5 chance that happens. Hopefully the law of averages can help this time around. Remember this QB is new to starting, and can't run. Then it will only take 1-2 quarters of stopping him to bring Bailey back out. In Farley I trust.

I think he means that the caller was saying that Western should have won the NDSU game. I can kinda see his point, because we left a lot of points on the field (more than the score differential), but NDSU made some great plays to stop us, so...they won. Can't change that now, can't really say "should have" to make ourselves look better. We lost...it was by 8 points...it was close, and if we'd played better, we might have won, but we didn't. It is what it is.

I think it is more of a design flaw than operator inefficiency. Personally, I've never been a big fan of the device. Its one of those things where the concept may seem cool, but the actual device is rather lame.

But since they (Deerys, I presume) already spent money to buy it, I suppose they'll keep using it.
Given the amount of time it takes to reload it, I do wish they would switch it up a bit.
1st/2nd quarter intermission, they should do what they currently do (fire one bunch of shirts into the NW corner, then as they reload, the rest of the west side doesn't really get much other than a few hand-tossed shirts), then they often get it reloaded in time to fire another bunch into the SE corner (often around the band section), with the rest of the east side not getting much.

However when it comes to the 3rd/4th quarter intermission, they should hold off on firing the first group until they get to about the middle of the west side (though not the SW corner, as that's where the visitor section is), then by the time they get it reloaded, they could do the next round into the middle of the east side (the main student section) or maybe the NE corner.

Of course, by the time the end of the 3rd quarter rolls around, the student section is often fairly empty. Maybe they should swap it so the students get shirts during the first half.

Well, I'm probably the resident Polasek apologist here but to me it's been a lack of sharpness for the O-line and for the QB. Despite the fact that the rushing averages have actually been pretty good over the last few weeks they've really struggled to convert crucial 3rd and shorts by doing what the Bison should be able to do when they need a yard or 2... run the ball. To top that off Stick has been inconsistent with his accuracy. The RBs also had several opportunities against WIU where one broken tackle would've meant a huge gain but the WIU defenders, to their credit, did what they needed to do to get the ballcarrier down.

I maybe feel a tiny bit better now, thank you. However, this game scares me. UNI is always such a damn tough game. I have to say this is the best CFB match up in the FCS yearly. 2 of the most physical teams that always have a tough grind it out game.

I have only ever seen the breakfast pizza in the morning. I would guess if you are ordering a whole pizza you would need to call in advance, but I normally just get a couple of pieces at a time so no need to call. In fact I just finished a couple of slices that I got for lunch today.

^^^^This right here. The offense has been very good at times but not consistent at all. I also think the play calling from Polasek gets too conservative in the 2nd half. The crazy thing is what HC Klieman said that this team last year wasn't firing on all cylinders and this team is not yet either. I think the offense is getting better but they are just inconsistent still.

Like others have said UNI greatly concerns me and before the season started I thought we would lose at Iowa and possibly UNI. However I still think we win Saturday's game.

I hate to admit what happened the first time we used smoke for the intro a few years back. It's been fixed since then but the first go around was embarrassing.

Back in the day, there used to be more concerts in the UNI-Dome ...

Probably right about the score. After watching the team down in Macomb, Stick needs to play better. He made two really bad throws that resulted in INTs that almost cost them the game. He really needs to step it up IMO.....so do the WRs. The passing game needs to improve significantly if this team is going to do anything in the playoffs. Untimely penalties also really hurt. The OL needs to have a good game. Schult might abuse Connor today.

A good 4 quarter game would be nice to see out of the offense today.

It will be a good test for Connor against an All American in Schult. It would be nice to see NDSU get some big plays from special teams. It makes me wonder if Dunne is a pocket passer that rarely moves because if he is NDSU will get to him.

It will be interesting to see how much Farley plays Bailey. Dunne had a fabulous game last week and should be the starter but Farley is crazy when it comes to the offense.

Plus one of UNI's playmaker on D iis out for the first half due to a targeting get call last week.

Ifor your an NDSU you need to listen to the podcasts from Bison 1660 am. Great stuff all week with The Insiders Jeremy Jorgenson and Jeff Culhane and the the Brakedown with Keith Brake.

Most Bison fans wouldn't consider this an upset and certainly not "big time." 1-3 in The UNI dome since joining the Valley! This will be a typical NDSU-UNI game. Whoever can run the ball effectively will probably win.

After last week, who knows? Can you say "Air Farley!" ......If NDSU is going to win in CF they have to be able to run the ball. In our 2012 win we ran for 176. In our three losses in CF we averaged 46 ypg on the ground.

I disagree on calling it an upset especially a big time one. 2 of NDSU's 3 journalists just picked UNI and I agree with them. I have UNI 20-13. Hoping Dunne will play and throw some picks or it could be a long day for NDSU. The Bison will have a hard time scoring.
