Not sure what to expect in this one, but I'm ready to go!

Not sure what to expect in this one, but I'm ready to go!
Welcome to conference football. Early on UNI is my favorite to win.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Didn't know Roberson has a broken thumb.

[PantherRob82]

Welcome to conference football. Early on UNI is my favorite to win.
I agree. I just try not to expect anything from our team anymore. :D

- - - Updated - - -


Didn't know Roberson has a broken thumb.

News to me as well.

[Cleets]

CHecking in Ladies... I'm psyched about this one

[centennial]

UNI defers. Game on!

[Cleets]

I'll be here for all your heckling needs

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

RFR is starting at QB for Redbirds

[PantherRob82]

Wow, broke his thumb and broke his thumb/not playing is quite a bit different.

[centennial]

RFR is starting at QB for Redbirds
Not good news.

[Cleets]

Mike Vic missed that exact same throw thursday night

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

PF on UNI then a complete pass for ISU

[Cleets]

This kid can sling it..!

[PantherRob82]

Definitely looking to make them throw to win.

[centennial]

Mike Vic missed that exact same throw thursday night
Replace Vic with ISUr backup?

[No_Skill]

RFR is starting at QB for Redbirds

He isn't shy about winging it around.

[Cleets]

Now he's just showing off...

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Same pass for a completion.


UNI in a 4-2

[PantherRob82]

This QB is definitely good enough to move the ball on us. We'll have to make a shift on defense at sometime.

*Here's Roberson.

[centennial]

Backup QB is solid. No falloff yet.

[PantherRob82]

We need to take the ground game away. Make them throw all day.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Coprich looks good with a couple of good runs.

Roberson in

[Cleets]

You won't win if you don't block McNeal

[PantherRob82]

Big run by Roberson, inside the 5.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

QB draw for Roberson.....big run.

[centennial]

UNI needs to make some defensive adjustments, otherwise long day.

[PantherRob82]

Illinois State has patiently walked the ball down the field. UNI offense needs to put some points up today to keep this a game if this drive was any indicator.

- - - Updated - - -

Need to sell out the run on 3rd and goal from the 1.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

3rd and a whisker

[No_Skill]

ISU making it look easy.

[PantherRob82]

TD Coprich. F%^&

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

TD Redbirds

[Cleets]

I predict UNI will settle in on Defense...

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Roberson's thumb might be too bad, the announcers said he might see some time at WR today.

[centennial]

I predict UNI will settle in on Defense...
Hopefully. However, you never know with them. As of now- stacking the box when the opposite team is throwing with soft coverage will not do.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

2 FBS transfers at QB today

[centennial]

3rd and long already up. UNI in trouble early.
EDIT: 3rd and out

[PantherRob82]

Terrible offensive series for UNI. 3 and out.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Nice tackle by #40. He definitely puts his time in the weight room. Guy has some guns!

[PantherRob82]

Not sure what that 3rd down play was supposed to be. Thought they had the first down on the check down. Great tackling.

[Jrbird2]

Stanley cup and the governor at the game, nice

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Boy that looked like pass interference.

[centennial]

UNI lucky with PI call.

[Cleets]

Oop the make-up call

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

UNI flagged for pass interference. Could have been called on the other pass also.

[PantherRob82]

Nice make up call. The first PI looked worse on the original play than the replays.

- - - Updated - - -

That was almost a TD. UNI better step up soon.

[PantherRob82]

Big sack.

[centennial]

Early on- If UNI doesn't stack the box, Coprich is hard to stop. If they do ISUr will throw under and take what the D is giving. Nice game plan.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Big sack for only a 4 man rush.

[Cleets]

I predict the UNI Defense will settle in.... oh Right - I already said that

[PantherRob82]

Great coverage on 3rd down for the UNI defense.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Pretty predictable play calling for UNI so far.

[Cleets]

I wasn't sure if a fight was going to break out over that hand-off / QB vs. Running back

[PantherRob82]

First 4 runs today for UNI haven't gotten us much.

[centennial]

Terrible O by UNI. No imagination.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Big sack for Ill State

[PantherRob82]

Pretty predictable play calling for UNI so far.

Agreed. Not sure if they are trying to feel out the defense, so far the answer is that they aren't giving us anything apparently.

- - - Updated - - -

Defense needs to make their own breaks today or they are going to get worn down.

[Cleets]

He's where's CLENZ-ER ..? We need some trash talking

[centennial]

He's where's CLENZ-ER ..? We need some trash talking
No fun without him trash talking the UNI offensive coordinator.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Agreed. Not sure if they are trying to feel out the defense, so far the answer is that they aren't giving us anything apparently.


You're probably right. Seeing how Ill State is going to defend them and make adjustments. I thought I would see some 1st down passes but it is really early.

[PantherRob82]

Nice early hit on Coprich.

- - - Updated - - -


You're probably right. Seeing how Ill State is going to defend them and make adjustments. I thought I would see some 1st down passes but it is really early.

Every week our offense looks completely different (scheme and play calls). No idea what they are thinking so far.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Good pass coverage for Redbird line so far...except for the sack.

Spoke too soon, another sack!

[PantherRob82]

Roberson at WR

- - - Updated - - -

2nd sack of the day for the UNI defense.

[centennial]

This is going to get ugly if ISUr goes up 2 TD.

[Cleets]

I predict the UNI defense will settle in...

[PantherRob82]

3rd and LONG coming up.

- - - Updated - - -


I predict the UNI defense will settle in...

I'm trying to believe you. :D

- - - Updated - - -

Late flag?

[Bison56]

Dumb penalty by UNI

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Geez...another personal foul on UNI......wow

[PantherRob82]

You've got to be kidding. We stop them and then this stupid penalty?

[centennial]

Woah no need for that. UNI in trouble.

[Bison56]

Understatement

[PantherRob82]

F'n defensive backs.

[Cleets]

THAT was a huge penalty - from a 47 yard FG attempt INTO THE WIND to first down on the front porch

[PantherRob82]

THAT was a huge penalty - from a 47 yard FG attempt INTO THE WIND to first down on the front porch

They'll settle in. Right? :D

[Sycamore62]

Ive noticed an overabundance of Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalties over the last couple years. Is there a specific word that is now off limits or a group of words or what

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Hall has a cast on but is playing really good so far. Tough kid!


Yikes...another penalty for UNI

[UNIFanSince1983]

Classic UNI defensive backs making stupid plays...

[PantherRob82]

More flags!

[Bison56]

Wow another huge penalty

[No_Skill]

UNI defense starting to settle in.

[Cleets]

Jeezus with those types of calls just throw the ball every snap....

[UNIFanSince1983]

Hall has a cast on but is playing really good so far. Tough kid!

Yeah he got that in the first half against EWU then came back and had a huge pick 6 in the second half. Dude is a beast.

[PantherRob82]

Delaying the inevitable.

[centennial]

Well that's that. At the 2 yard line.

- - - Updated - - -

14-0

[PantherRob82]

Coprich walks in. We might as well blitz 8-9 per play and hope for the best.

[Cleets]

That looked like PERFECT coverage and they flag him in the END ZONE (crazy)

[PantherRob82]

It's like a replay of the playoff game last year. Do we see Kollmorgen now?

[UNIFanSince1983]

Game over.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

TD Redbirds.

UNI needs a good drive on this one.

[UNIFanSince1983]

It's like a replay of the playoff game last year. Do we see Kollmorgen now?

Luckily I'm in my living room this time instead of freezing my ass off in the stands while the beat down happens.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Game over.


They need a good drive here for sure. I've seen too many tough ass UNI teams to say they are done now.

[PantherRob82]

Luckily I'm in my living room this time instead of freezing my ass off in the stands while the beat down happens.

I'm glad I am in my living room for both. xlolx

[centennial]

That looked like PERFECT coverage and they flag him in the END ZONE (crazy)
It was a marginal call.

[Cleets]

There was one Pass interference - that went uncalled
then there have been two called pass interference call on absolute perfect defensive plays.......................????

Weird as it gets

[centennial]

**** read option. Run something else. Frustrating to see.

[BisonFan02]

Did I hear that right? Farley just goes by "feel" when rotating QBs?

[PantherRob82]

I forgot Dorleant is out for the first half for UNI because of his ejection against Cal Poly.

Can we try Kollmorgen now? :D

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Sawyer is a better passer IMO. Bailey missed an open WR

[centennial]

Did I hear that right? Farley just goes by "feel" when rotating QBs?
Yup

[PantherRob82]

0 first downs so far.

Is this on the OC or Bailey so far?

[BisonFan02]

Yup

.............wow

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Redbirds score here and it will be tough for UNI to get back into it.

[PantherRob82]

Did I hear that right? Farley just goes by "feel" when rotating QBs?

Magic 8 ball and it keeps telling him Reply hazy try again

[UNIFanSince1983]

0 first downs so far.

Is this on the OC or Bailey so far?

I am going OC the play calling has not been good, and has been very predictable so far.

Athough I do think we should be doing what ISUr is doing with their two QBs with Kollmorgen and Bailey.

[PantherRob82]

Defensive line doing their part today. 3rd sack

[centennial]

0 first downs so far.

Is this on the OC or Bailey so far?
Your O doesn't work when the opposite line is strong.

[Bison56]

Passing play and no flags?

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Geez Redbirds....keep running it. Getting good yards then they try to get cute with passing.

[centennial]

This game is like watching UNI vs Iowa State

[PantherRob82]

Your O doesn't work when the opposite line is strong.

So the Bison D line wasn't good last year? I don't think that has anything to do with it.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Wow..awesome punt to the 3

[Cleets]

The Football Gods are ANGRY at UNI today my friends...

[Drblankstare]

Soooooo. I'm a little late to the party, Why is Roberson playing WR???

[BisonFan02]

Hey...look! A runner up board. :D

[centennial]

Soooooo. I'm a little late to the party, Why is Roberson playing WR???
Thumb injury

[PantherRob82]

The Football Gods are ANGRY at UNI today my friends...

The Football Gods will settle in. :D

[PantherRob82]

Wow. Bailey had all day.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Good run for Bailey

[PantherRob82]

First 1st down of the day for UNI

- - - Updated - - -

2nd first down. I like this.

- - - Updated - - -

Bailey smoked for a loss. Looked like the screen was an option

[centennial]

Wow. Bailey had all day.
Bailey isn't making the best reads.

[JayJ79]

did the ISU defense have 12 on the field at the snap?

[PantherRob82]

and all of the sudden it's 3rd and 13.

- - - Updated - - -


did the ISU defense have 12 on the field at the snap?

Probably just flag us for PI instead. ;)

[UNIFanSince1983]

They get a sack while only rushing 4...

[PantherRob82]

Well, I guess we flipped the field a little bit for the defense. xrolleyesx

This is exactly like watching the playoff game last year. Were our coaches not there for that one? Didn't review that film?

[centennial]

3 and out again. Bring the other QB.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Big sack for the Redbirds.

Defense looks good for ISU so far.



**Give Sawyer a try with the offense**

[BisonFan02]

The UNI O needs to settle in before the UNI D can settle in....and Farley needs to settle in on a QB.

[Drblankstare]

Thumb injury

Ok still strange they would risk further injury by playing him at WR.

[PantherRob82]

3 and out again. Bring the other QB.

We had two first downs on that drive. ;)

- - - Updated - - -

Isn't it? I don't get it. He has also been playing QB

Not good enough. UNI needs a score before it becomes a 3 score game.

[Cleets]

Not good enough. UNI needs a score before it becomes a 3 score game.

Thanks for the critical update...

[PantherRob82]

Not good enough. UNI needs a score before it becomes a 3 score game.

Right, but you said 3 and out. ;)

Interception to the redzone!

[Bison56]

Shock a flag

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

What a duck for a pass.

Big INT for UNI

[centennial]

Nice run. Hopefully not called back.

[PantherRob82]

penalty on interception return.

[Sycamore62]

That int return was really good

[centennial]

And it does.

[UNIFanSince1983]

Even with the penalty some good field position for UNI finally.

[PantherRob82]

Great play call! TD Panthers!

[Cleets]

Hmmm... looks like we have a football game people

[Bison56]

TD UNI, nice play and no flags.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

TD UNI....homerun.

Big change of momentum.

[PantherRob82]

That int return was really good
Kilfoy is a great player.

[UNIFanSince1983]

Great play call! TD Panthers!

Awesome play call there finally.

[Drblankstare]

Huge for the panthers

[centennial]

TD!! And what do you know - they throw instead of read option.

[PantherRob82]

I'll post about Kollmorgen 50% less now. :D

[Cleets]

Kilfoy is a great player.

He's about the only cover safety in FCS these days

[PantherRob82]

TD!! And what do you know - they throw instead of read option.

I guess the good thing about being completely predictable for a few drives is that no one sees that coming. xlolx

[JayJ79]

surprised they didn't flag the UNI receiver for hands to the face. (yes, normally that is perfectly acceptable for a ballcarrier to do, but I'm sure they could come up with something)

[PantherRob82]

See if the defense can keep the momentum.

[Cleets]

I predict the UNI defense will settle in...

[PantherRob82]

Another big stop.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

3 and out

Roberson should keep some of those read option runs...

[PantherRob82]

Looked like we almost got to that punt.

Agree Roberson should be keeping some of those reads.

[Cleets]

Nice DROP...

[PantherRob82]

Terrible drop by Brown. Great play otherwise.

- - - Updated - - -

Great run by Bailey makes up for that terrible drop by Brown. Glad it didn't bite us.

[Drblankstare]

Good grief Charlie Brown.

[UNIFanSince1983]

I hate the games Danan Hughes does. And only partially because he was a Hawkeye.

[Drblankstare]

I'll show myself out

[Bison56]

What's with the stone hands?

[Cleets]

The UNI receivers are on valium...

[centennial]

What's the obsession with every play starting from read/zone? Almost no 3 step drops.

[Drblankstare]

good grief, Charlie Brown

We both should leave xlmaoxxlmaox

[PantherRob82]

What's the obsession with every play starting from read/zone? Almost no 3 step drops.
Probably that he is a running QB and not a pocket passer?

[Bison56]

Wow huge run for ISU

[PantherRob82]

Coprich blows it open. Great save by Hall.

[UNIFanSince1983]

Welp..

[centennial]

Huge run. Momentum swing.

[Cleets]

I keep predicting the UNI defense will settle in... (Hmmm...)

[centennial]

TD! 21-7

[Bison56]

It was like the UNI D was frozen on that TD run.

[PantherRob82]

Redbirds walk in through a giant hole. TD

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Keep running the ball Redbirds.

[Bison56]

UNI needs something positive before half.

[Grizalltheway]

Clenz meltdown when?

[UNIFanSince1983]

I keep predicting the UNI defense will settle in... (Hmmm...)

Yeah you can stop at any time...

[centennial]

Clenz meltdown when?
MIA

- - - Updated - - -

As soon as they start throwing. UNI looks good.

[PantherRob82]

I thought maybe we'd see Kollmorgen for a 2 minute drill. Great pass and catch to start the drive.

2nd pass and catch for another big play. Down to the 31.

- - - Updated - - -


MIA

As soon as they start throwing. UNI looks good.

then they run for no gain. xlolx

Rough hit on Bailey. Wow.

[Drblankstare]

OOOH Bailey took a very bad sack there.

[PantherRob82]

Terrible call on 3rd and 13....

[centennial]

Time is running out.........

[UNIFanSince1983]

I can't be the only one thinking we are using both the wrong QB and the wrong RB right?

[PantherRob82]

Going on 4th and 10

- - - Updated - - -


I can't be the only one thinking we are using both the wrong QB and the wrong RB right?

I never know what to think anymore.

- - - Updated - - -

Why not get the 3 points here? Wind too strong?

[centennial]

Intercepted.

[PantherRob82]

Did the hit force the errant throw or was it just terrible?

[centennial]

Run out time. Half ends at 21-7

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

I can't be the only one thinking we are using both the wrong QB and the wrong RB right?


Does Farley love having a read option QB at all costs?

I'm no coach but Sawyer is a good passer.

[PantherRob82]

Surprised the Rebirds didn't try to break a few big runs and use their timeouts.

[centennial]

Did the hit force the errant throw or was it just terrible?
Hit looks to have turned him a little.

[Cleets]

The hit moved the pass ... I don't disagree with the play call

[PantherRob82]

Does Farley love having a read option QB at all costs?

I'm no coach but Sawyer is a good passer.

Based on Rennie, Carnes and Bailey, it sure seems like it.

It seems like it, doesn't it?

- - - Updated - - -

Spack's mustache seems like it has seen better days.

[JayJ79]

Intercepted.

same end result as an incompletion, considering it was 4th down

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

UNI gets the ball to start the 2nd half. Good drive and a TD would put them right back into the game.

[UNIFanSince1983]

Does Farley love having a read option QB at all costs?

I'm no coach but Sawyer is a good passer.

Seems that way. And lucky for us Bailey is only a junior this year xbawlingx

[centennial]

Seems that way. And lucky for us Bailey is only a junior this year xbawlingx
You look like a better team with Sawyer.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Seems that way. And lucky for us Bailey is only a junior this year xbawlingx


He is a hard runner and has made some decent passes but SK is a better passer IMO.

UNI scores to open the 2nd half and they are right back into it.

[underdawg]

I'm no coach but Sawyer is a good passer.


There's no rule that you can't have both in one QB

There's no rule that you can't have both in one QB

[UNIFanSince1983]

We don't get points to start the half and we could be in a world of hurt.

[underdawg]

[QUOTE=Bison Fan in NW MN;2259806]What a revelation.....[/]

It is to the UNI staff-- their transfer isn't either

[centennial]

Game back on ladies

[PantherRob82]

Hoping for some points from our special teams or defense.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Bailey coming in to start the 2nd

[PantherRob82]

A lot of Bailey on the run so far.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Redbird CBs are playing way off the ball.

[PantherRob82]

Injured Redbird.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Huge run blitz up the middle...4th down.

[centennial]

Go for it on 4th. Why punt...

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Redbirds running really well.

Stay with it = win the game.

[PantherRob82]

Redbirds running really well.

They said the 25 of ISU

From my NSA monitored nexus 5

[PantherRob82]

How does he still get sacked? $#%

- - - Updated - - -

Throw the ball away

[JayJ79]

Bailey needs to learn how to throw it away instead of taking big sacks.

[centennial]

The **** is Bailey doing.

[UNI Pike]

Maybe Bailey could learn that throwing it out of bounds is ok sometimes

From my NSA monitored nexus 5

[PantherRob82]

Might have gotten lucky with this penalty..

[centennial]

Bailey is going to get lucky for face mask.

[PantherRob82]

Wow. Keeping us in this game.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Huge face mask penalty. Had them stopped...

[PantherRob82]

Farley made it clear in the pre-2nd half interview that we are determined to run the ball.

[centennial]

Not impressed with Bailey at all..

[PantherRob82]

WTF was that throw....

2 for 10 on 3rd down

- - - Updated - - -

FG does us no good.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Get the points.

Long way to go.

[centennial]

21-10 Bailey sucking it up.

[Bisonator]

I thought UNI's offense was supposed to be more up tempo, seems really slow IMO. They could just as well huddle up.

[PantherRob82]

Get the points.

Long way to go.

Based on past performance, those 3 points won't be enough to help.

[UNI Pike]

Really need to put Sawyer in place of Bailey

From my NSA monitored nexus 5

[centennial]

3 and out ISU

[X-Factor]

LOL at ESPN3 announcers.

[UNIFanSince1983]

I thought UNI's offense was supposed to be more up tempo, seems really slow IMO. They could just as well huddle up.

They only go fast after big plays. Since we have 0 of those today it is slow.

[PantherRob82]

Our defense is still doing a great job. Illinois State has been helping with their poor decision making as well.

[UNIFanSince1983]

Really need to put Sawyer in place of Bailey

From my NSA monitored nexus 5

Yes unfortunately I don't think it will happen.

[Bisonator]

They only go fast after big plays. Since we have 0 of those today it is slow.

Lol, seriously?

[UNI Pike]

For the sweet love of God, pull Bailey

From my NSA monitored nexus 5

[centennial]

Take Bailey out. Wow. He is single handily losing the game.

[PantherRob82]

This offensive scheme and playcalling just sucks today.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Geez....INT for UNI

[centennial]

Intercepted. Same as 4 and out anyway.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

For the sweet love of God, pull Bailey

From my NSA monitored nexus 5



Agree.

Give SK a chance in this game.

[PantherRob82]

Should have just punted on 3rd.

[UNIFanSince1983]

If this is anything like the game we played in Normal last year they won't put Kollmorgen in until it is too late.
