Quarterfinal: New Hampshire @ South Dakota State

[mmiller_34]

New Hampshire comes to Brookings for the first time.

It appears that the New Hampshire defense has been lights out and forcing turnovers leading to ending their opponents win streaks, also it is going to be freezing in Brookings next Saturday and we play terrible in cold weather games. That combination doesn't bode well for the Jacks.

I predict New Hampshire wins by 17 points.

UNH good D, Good offensive players, not a great OL and a redshirt freshman QB taking over for this game. We also don't play well in the cold. UNH is probably the youngest team in the playoffs and has exceeded our expectations. I hope they win and if not I hope its a competitive loss. Can't really make a prediction UNH>UCA>ISUr<SDSU which means Adam Jr kicks a FG to win 3-2 at the end of the game right?

[POD Knows]

SDSU will blow them out, and the 5000 Jack fans that gather for the game will be overjoyed. 35 - 10, Jacks win going away.

[Gangtackle11]

Enjoyed the trip to Sioux Falls & Brookings except for the 10-7 loss last season. Visit Cubby’s before the game. Chock full of J-Rabbit fans. Good time.

The whole week before it was SDSU was going to blow Nova out. It will happen again for you Northern ‘Cats. Don’t believe the hype. You can play with them.

They will be a big underdog, but Go Northern Cats!!

I doubt it will be that close. UNH's AD will make sure of it. They beat us like a redheaded step child. 35-3

Gang I love the vote of confidence... But this isn't our first Rodeo either ; ) We can play with anyone on any given day. And our defense has developed into one of the best in the nation over the previous seven weeks. If we generate ANY offense we will be in this game.

How good are you at playing around 0 degree's or possibly even below 0? The forecast going that far out ( I know that's iffy at best) is supposed to be damn cold. If it gets that cold both teams are going to struggle.

Because we live in this weather consistently you knucklehead....big deal about the dome. We all grew up in this weather and 27 is nice this time of year. Add in sleet, snow or rain and wind then FB games get interesting.

Agree here. The TE is the exception. Total beast. A good fast CB takes the other tall kid out of the game. Make the QB make reads & not escape with his feet. Your DLine plays like they did vs. UCA you will give them trouble especially if they don’t like the weather at home. Beware the TE is a manchild.

Make them totally 1 dimensional & shorten the game. That’s the ticket.

[ElCid]

Didn't we have this discussion about cold weather back in ... 2013 or so. When everyone thought Coastal was going to be a popsicle when they went up to Montana? Hmm, that wasn't a big deal as I recall for the boys for Myrtle Beach. Even sillier thinking that NH (a moderately cold weather team) will have an big issue. If it is crappy weather in general, that will be obviously be an equalizer hitting both teams. If SDSU wins, and they probably will, it will most likely not be just due to the cold.

[Kemo]

For the Jackrabbits, I'm less worried about the temperature and more worried about the precipitation (ala the frozen variety).

Against Nova last year Taryn slipped a ton when trying to plant and avoid the rush while also having the accuracy with his throws wane. We were built for those types of games when we had a hoss like Zenner carrying the ball and a big, stationary QB like Sumner tossing the ball around.

We are significantly more quickness/finesse based than we used to be, which has been a boon for the most part, but can be a bane in poor conditions. The Jacks still have the ability to work a power running game against some fronts, but not so much against others (think NDSU/UNI), so how well UNH's front 7 match up against our Oline could be a huge key in this game.

Only way UNH wins is playing keep away & field position game. If it’s wide open than it’s heavily slanted to SDSU.

Disagree with the last statement. SDSU was not significantly better than 'Nova. In fact one could make a logical assertion that 'Nova was better than SDSU. The out gained SDSU in offense by 124 yards, had 5 more first downs and possessed the ball for nine more minutes on the road.... Looks more to me like a 'Nova brainfart against a team it should have creamed....

Yes, but the conversation about the cold this is (and if not, should be) about how terrible the JACKS play in the cold. If anyone thinks this conversation is about how the Jacks will win because UNH is coming into a cold environment needs to read post #1 of this thread.

I think both teams can play in the cold. However, the worse the weather gets, the more equal they become. In nice weather I think SDSU has a track meet.

It’s amazing that A) it seems like these east coasters either confusing NDSU fans for SDSU fans or are lumping is together (barf) B) that anyone would think that the cold is going to help SDSU. C) that NDSU fans have more confidence in us than our own fans do. I attribute this to the fact that we know our team and they don’t.

I don’t like this matchup. It’s just like Nova last year.

I don't see New Hampshire back to back weeks on a plane ride and performing at the level they'd like.

But the thing with weather is that it effects teams pretty much the same. Most games are played in October/November, when even though it's not warm, it's not unbearable cold. Very few teams are habituated to winning games in this kind of weather.

That's why the smart move is to play in a Dome if you're up North like that, but that's just me.

You can draw a similar line from New York to Barcelona but you’d have a tough time arguing that their winter climates are comparable ;)

[Jacks02]

Forecast for Brookings is a Winter Storm Watch for Monday/Monday night with rain changing to snow and 2-4" of snow and 45 MPH winds.

After that, highest forecast temp is 26 degrees for next Saturday.

I'm hoping its just snow and no rain, would like a fast track for our offense. If we get rain and then 10-20 degree temps all week it could be an interesting game.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

This is the game next weekend I have the most interest in given UNH's close ties to the PL and the fact the Wildcats are the only Northeast team left. Their defense is definitely capable of limiting the 'Jacks offense to some degree (24-30 points) if the weather is reasonable. I'm not sure if UNH can generate enough offense to seriously threaten. Their offense is struggling more than 'Nova's last year. My guess is SDSU will stack the box and challenge whoever starts at QB. The Wildcats skill guys are nowhere near as good as they've been in recent years imo. There's no RJ Harris out there.

I'm a weather nerd so the great plains always intrigues me. I survived 3 Montana winters and spent some time in the Red River Valley so I know what goes on out there. I also grew up in the mountains of Northern Pennsylvania and know it can get nasty here too. The Wildcats should have no trouble so long as its' not below 0. Then it sucks for everyone.

Getting to a game at SDSU or UNI is high on my list. If only Lehigh would step up their game. I've already been to NDSU, Montana and Montana State.

UNH's current cadre of wide receivers, O'Connor, Love, Presley and Lorden, as a group, are as good as the 2014 WRs led by RJ Harris. The 2014 team had a big advantage at Tight End with Harold Spears and Jordan Powell.

I'll take UNH and +18. I think SDSU likely wins, but I don't see UNH giving up very many points, plus the cold weather will hamper the passing game. Lots of running will shorten the game>>fewer points scored.

Agreed. I think U49 is a pretty safe bet.

[UNH72Plus]

In some places last week UNH was a 20+ underdog. As I said then, don't underestimate the Wildcat D. They held #1 JMU scoreless in 3 quarters and allowed only 14 points from a team that averages 35 ppg ( the other 7 came off a pick six). Against Elon, who was in the top ten and riding an 8 game winning streak, they held them to 6 points (they averaged 21 ppg), CCSU with an average of 29 ppg was held to 14 points, and against UCA who averaged 35+ ppg the Cats held them to 15. UNH has suffered from stupid penalties and their D-backs have had some major missed assignments (like the 74 and 78 yard TD pass plays against UCA). The QB issue is another thing. If Knight can't play, I think that's a major disadvantage. One thing's for sure, the cold weather won't affect our kicking game, because we don't have one (0-4 in the play-offs).

Also whoever said we don't have an RJ Harris caliber WR hasn't been paying attention. Neil O'Connor is 4th in receiving yards with 1,358, tied for 14th in TDs with 10, and a finalist for the Walter Payton award, oh and he's 4-5 in passing with a TD.

I don't see New Hampshire back to back weeks on a plane ride and performing at the level they'd like.


You'd think after 14 years in a row they'd be used to it?

[CappinHard]

One thing's for sure, the cold weather won't affect our kicking game, because we don't have one (0-4 in the play-offs).


This could end up being a big deal considering this could be a low scoring game.

[Terry2889]

This could end up being a big deal considering this could be a low scoring game.


This could be "THE" deal : ( We have great redone defense but you'll be able to kick field goals. We can move the ball in between the 20's but can't kick field goals. Doesn't bode well for us. The 18 point spread seems a bit ridiculous at this point.

[Professor Chaos]

If think UNH is going to have to force multiple turnovers to have a shot in this one. They can do it... and SDSU has had their issues with turnovers in their uglier performances of the year but if the Jacks take care of the football they should win easily IMO.

[dwtime]

I'll take UNH and +18. I think SDSU likely wins, but I don't see UNH giving up very many points, plus the cold weather will hamper the passing game. Lots of running will shorten the game>>fewer points scored.

UNH might not give up a lot of points if the their offense can stay on the field. If not, not much the D can do they will get worn down. I have a feeling the SDSU offense is better than JMU so it will be hard to keep the points low.

[Thumper 76]

The 18 point line is ridiculous. Cold game vs a good defense is insane. Bet UNH and the under with fury.

A RS-F QB and a young line that I admit is not very good vs a rather complete team in SDSU. I hope it's not a blowout but I can see lines being drawn as such

[PantherRob82]

I want to say that I don’t see UNH having a chance at the win, but I think most people felt that way about the UCA game.

[WrenFGun]

I'm hoping for cold, cold weather. I sincerely doubt Knight will play, but if our lines play as well as they did against UCA they'll be in this game regardless of who the QB is.

I agree. A lot of the advantages that UNH had over UCA (UCA had played a weak schedule to close the year, and weren't consistently going up against quality opponents) disappear against SDSU. UNH should be able to score some points in fair weather, but that'll depend on the QB play. Opponents have scored at least 21 points against SDSU in every game since 10/7. That said, an amazing 6 of those 7 games were against playoff teams. They are certainly battle tested and should be heavily favored.

It was technically 5 of 7 that were playoff teams. ISUr and MSU didn’t make the playoffs. If you look at the last six games though the Jacks have averaged 40 ppg while giving up 25 ppg. Don’t SDSU get up by more than one score early or it’s likely to be a long game. I highly doubt that happens. I look for a game like the Nova game last year, and I don’t like SDSU’s chances there.

The weather looks to be pretty fortunate for this time of year especially on the wind. Will be interesting to see what happens, but it will be fun to be at! Unfortunately it will probably be a terrible crowd.

...and UNI only had 7 until the game was out of hand.

While I won’t ever claim our defense is great, in the last six games they held every opponent besides ISUr to a touchdown or more below their season average. In fact if you take out the UNI game they held NDSU, USD, WIU, and SIU (with their stud QB) to ten points below their season average.

If we compare the teams I think most feel the UNH has the much better defense it’s interesting to me to see that while they are the #20 in scoring defense nationally SDSU isn’t that far behind at #38. Meanwhile if we look at offensively SDSU is the #6 scoring offense while UNH is #68.

Looking at stats even deeper, it’s interesting to me now that we are all in such agreement that bad weather favors UNH. They averaged only 86 yards rushing per game in CAA play. They averaged 2.2 ypc. Holy smokes! They were towards the top of the CAA for passing, so they seem even more pass oriented (I haven’t watched much of any UNH games) than SDSU. For as pass heavy and finesse as SDSU has the reputation of on offense, they still averaged 170 ypg rushing at 4.9 ypc (which is good enough to tie for 2nd highest ypc in conference). I know the SDSU run game is set up by the pass but at least they have one. The plus for UNH is they are facing a defense that gave up 200 ypg rushing. Interesting matchup of weakness vs weakness there. However UNH is only giving up 100 ypg rushing so if it’s cold and nasty weather where throwing doesn’t work then it will be interesting to see what wins out, UNHs weak run game or SDSU’s weak run defense. That will be what a crap weather game will come down to. Im just super pumped that UNH will get to go from a game in balmy 67 degree weather with no wind to most likely below freezing where a 15 mph wind is a calm day. Good thing they’re used to winter and snow.

Any UNH fans making it out be sure to hit me up, always good to share a beer with AGS fans, especially from so far away.

Coming into the UCA game, UNH had a horrible year long performance with its offensive line. UNH has not been able to run the ball consistently, they were giving up a ton of sacks, and if it weren't for having mobile QBs and a talented WR corp, may not have moved the ball at all.

Somehow, UNH was able to make some corrections and/or UCA just didn't have top FCS caliber talent on its offensive and defensive lines. Its hard to tell with little to compare with.

As a UNH fan, I hope they were able to fix some things permanently, but I wouldn't be surprised if they resort back to their original caliber.

Its hard for me to see UNH doing well again, but I was blown away by the UCA performance and this has a feeling like 2013 all over again (Which is great news for next year!).

We are an absolute statistical anomaly. Our offense has not scored more than 2 touchdowns in over a month and yet we are still playing football. It just makes what our defense has done that much more incredible. I think you'll be impressed with our D and by the end of the game you'll start feeling bad for them. They are a fantastic unit. Hopefully they haven't run out of steam.

[caribbeanhen]

the UNH defense has looked good of late but according to the NCAA stats on total Defense (yards per game) it looks like 8 CAA teams are statistically better

http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fcs/current/team/22

not knocking UNH here, but maybe your run game will have a better chance to get something going against a SDSU.... maybe

by the way, Delaware in at #15 nationally and #3 in CAA and we couldn't complete a pass either... but your still playing.... congrats!

another note, stats are skewed of course by weaker competition being ranked higher like NC Telephone, Tenn Martin, Tenn State, SC state, St Francis....

I'm more of a points per game allowed advocate when judging defense and if you look solely at the second half of the season as a true barometer of their ability and what they've become, they are second to none (JMU excluded of course). If you only include the actual points that the defense has given up over the last 7 games it averages to 10.8 PPG. If you take away the two garbage time touchdowns by W&M and Elon against the 2nd and 3rd string it falls to 9 PPG. That's pretty damn good if you ask me. When coupled with the ineffectiveness of our offense their performance is magnified. Oh and FYI, other than Rick Holt (Maybe the most underrated linemen in the nation) they all come back next year.

I think the difference in the UCA game was that they weren't used to teams being so physical and didn't know how to react and adjust. As mentioned before, SDSU won't be surprised by a team being physical. After watching most of the game against UCA I can see that UNH does have some size, but it will be interesting to see what happens when they match up with a team that can match their size and physicality. *triggers obligatory video link by posting the word physical in 3 consecutive sentences*

SDSU gets it rolling they will win. I’m thinking 28-14 J-Rabbits. Hoping for upset.

[KPSUL]

The significance of time of possession is not as good a predictor of success in college football as it used to be; however, in some games it appears to be more critical than in other. I think this game is one that it will be important. UNH's best chance for success is to dominant TOP and keep SDSU's offense off the field as much as possible. UNH needs several long sustained drives of 12 or 14 plays - mainly 5 yard running plays and short pass completions, as well as a bunch of possessions that result in 2 or 3 first downs that force SDSU to start most their drives deep in their own territory. Throw in a defensive TD and this one will go down to the last minute of play. I wouldn't sell the Wildcat running game too short. There were several games when it was formidable - and they were against teams with big front 7s to include Georgia Southern, William & Mary and Central Arkansas. Evan Gray is a downhill runner who usually picks up 2 or 3 yards after contact. If he get a step or two past the line of scrimmage, he can get 4-5 yards all day.

You mean do exactly what the only 2 teams to beat us this year did? Novel idea.

Thankfully our defensive play calling and execution has significantly improved since those games occured. I would be really surprised if UNH can dominate TOP. I think the only way they win is by winning the turnover battle by 2 or more. Other than that, I just don't see it happening.

UNH's athletic program director of strength and conditioning, Paul Chapman, is the former UND Director of strength and conditioning during a period they won both the Div 1 Hockey and Div 2 Football championships.

[UNH72Plus]

UNH has to avoid the dumb penalties they have been prone to and the brain cramps they've had that have resulted in four pass receptions of >74 yards. Their poor tackling in the first half of the season also resulted in them being burned for several running plays of over 42 yards, including a 63 yard TD against Stony Brook. Since then, however, they have executed much better. I think a lot of that is due to LB Jared Kuehl being back in the line up after an early injury. He and fellow LB Quinlen Dean are beasts, along with Tackles Ryan Sosnak and Rick Holt.

[RowdyRabbit]

Very much looking forward to this game. Always exciting when you have a "new" opponent coming in.

I agree with what others have said previously...I'm expecting a game similar to Villanova last year. Low scoring battle.

Probably won't make it out to any tailgates, but hope to hit the visitor section in the stadium pregame to welcome UNH fans to Brookings.

UNH D has me very concerned.

[KPSUL]

SDSU's placekicking game is light years better than UNH's. If this game turns out to be as close as many posters here are calling it, that might end up being the difference. Villanova's field goal kicking has been notoriously bad in recent years as well.

[PantherRob82]

Vinaterri hit a 55 yarder Against us last week.

[WrenFGun]

I do not think that McDonnell will attempt a field goal this week. The ones attempted haven't been particularly close, nor particularly difficult. Ellman still seems competent on XP's, though.

I have a hard time finding ways where I think UNH might have an advantage in this one, unlike what I thought when UNH played UCA, where I thought the quality of competition and line play may make a difference as it has in other SLC matchups. I'm really concerned about Christian's mobility. He'd be very close to our leading rusher, and we've struggled in games where the QB can advance the ball for first downs. For whatever reason, HH last week did not really seem willing to run the ball. UNH has historically been very vulnerable over the middle between the linebackers and safeties, and behind the safeties. UCA was forced to throw almost exclusively outside, except for the the streak down the middle for an 80 yard TD to Battle last week. If SDSU can use Goedert over the middle, and Christian can extend plays and run for first downs, it's really hard to see how UNH can hang in there.

I think we'll stop the run generally, so the key will be .. can we keep Christian in the pocket and can we force him into one of the poor completion days he's had in close games?

as you mentioned you like to judge defenses more by points allowed per game, I took a look at the Stats

http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fcs/current/team/28

#1 JMU only allowed 8.8 points per game, noticeably better than Nor Dak State who finished #2
#9 Villanova
#11 Delaware
#17 Albany
# 20 UNH

so 5 CAA in the top 20, pretty good

Despite all this good D being played in the CAA you won't find many if any (Elon has one) CAA players on the Buck Buchannon list

http://www.fcs.football/cfb/story.asp?i=20171205113257457875004

just to illustrate how weak the Southland Conference really is, Central Arkansas was rated #10 offensively in points per game at about 36

http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fcs/current/team/27

this also illustrates how stats are skewed by the level of competition as we all saw what the UNH did to Central Arky.... offense wasn't so good against a good CAA Defense, South Dak State found out about this last year with Nova

good luck on Saturday!

Are we all good at defense or do we benefit from URI, UNH, UDel, 'Nova, W & M, and Albany sucking at offense?! Haha! Luckily so far it has translated to wins in the playoffs this year. I can't believe Rick Holt or Jordan Brown (Or Both!) aren't on the list. Every game I watch JMU's Brown makes a game changing play. He has 7 Ints! And Holt has some of the best statistics I've ever seen from a 1-tech. Over 70 tackles, 12 TFL's, 9 QB sacks, and 3 pass breakups. He is a game wrecker.

Are we all good at defense or do we benefit from URI, UNH, UDel, 'Nova, W & M, and Albany sucking at offense?! Haha! Luckily so far it has translated to wins in the playoffs this year.

I asked this same question earlier and no doubt the skill level of skill players is down across the CAA I would say, that probably has something to do with it

Every game I watch JMU's Brown makes a game changing play. He has 7 Ints!

leads the country in interceptions, but is the only member of the secondary to not make first team All-CAA. go figure.

Nova's defense was better than UNH when you take the whole season into account, but if you go from Towson on, they're about on par. The defenses are different though. When you just talk about a given series or yardage count, Villanova had an advantage. UNH is a bit more like the Patriots to make a poor example; you can move all you want up until about the 35, then it becomes pretty tough.

After allowing 38 points against Stony Brook in a game where UNH didn't gain a first down until very late in the 2nd half (from halftime, where they had a 22-15 lead), UNH has allowed 10 points to Towson (7 of which came with 4:38 left against the reserves), 14 points against JMU, 16 against WM (7 of which came in the final minute), 6 against Elon (late in 4th, but game was still a game), 13 against Albany in a game where UNH offense played as bad as I've ever seen, 0 against CCU and 13 against UCA.

I think SDSU is the best offense we'll face by a potentially wide margin though in that grouping and perhaps all year, so we'll see how much progress we've made.

I feel like the first team to 14 wins this one. If it's UNH, they might be able to hold on to the lead with their solid defense and difficult conditions. If it's SDSU, I don't think UNH has the firepower to come from behind and win a game where SDSU gets 14 or more earlier than them.

Right, so you're ignoring the three point loss last year and the 14 offensive points we allowed this year, right? What will the excuses be if we win this week? The MVFC is weak on the second Saturday of December on a year when we have an eclipse?

I will tip my hat to UNH and move on. Frankly, I think NDSU matches up better vs JMU or UNH or Weber. I just want a Dakota finals. I still think SDSU is more of a mismatch vs JMU in comparison to UNH.

[PantherRob82]

Interesting to see UCA’s coach bouncing out the door. Curious if that had any impact. I’d like an XDSU final, but UNH fans are good people I have had the privilege of knowing, so it’s a win win for me. Just need to the winner to knock off the JMU-Weber winner.

if we go down by two scores early we're toast. Our only hope is to keep your offense to field goals and force you to go on long drives. We'll have to rely on some big plays/ gimmicks to generate points on offense. If we can run the ball it will help immensely.... This has the potential to be a very fun game. Two teams with no familiarity often leads to some silly stuff happening. Let's hope its fun because no matter who wins, I assure you next week won't : (

SDSU has a very good chance against JMU if they beat UNH, which they should easily IMO.

I would like to see how they defend Goedert and Weineke. Goedert is a matchup nightmare. Let TC sling the ball and run it if nothing is there. SDSU's offense is very good.

That first title game, I was sitting in the block of NDSU fans on the SHSU side, and we were laughing so hard when they were cheering for their own team on offense. We actually encouraged them to keep doing it and that we would help them. They did not understand why we would want to cheer for "their team" when they were on offense and gave us a look of complete disbelief. Good times.

New Hampshire comes to Brookings for the first time.

It appears that the New Hampshire defense has been lights out and forcing turnovers leading to ending their opponents win streaks, also it is going to be freezing in Brookings next Saturday and we play terrible in cold weather games. That combination doesn't bode well for the Jacks.

I predict New Hampshire wins by 17 points.

I really can't understand the 18 point spread in this game. SDSU defense is not strong giving up 27 points a game so UNH should score some points, 14 to 21 possibly? As good as the SDSU offense is the UNH defense is playing at an extremely high level for a while now. UNH went to JMU and the defense gave up 14 points. Combine that with a frigid cold day, real feel temps in the teens, which has to affect the offenses and SDSU scores 21 to 24? UNH came close to having a hundred yard rusher last week vs a DL that had three 1st team All Conference players on it. This week they are playing against what looks to be a very average DL. Taking the 18 is stealing, hell I think UNH can win the game!!! Looking forward to watching this one, should be a great game.

Im with you on your assessment that the spread is way too high. Though I wouldn't be surprised if UNH finds the SDSU offense to be harder to defend than JMU's offense. I think it will be a good game. My guess is something like 28-17 SDSU.

Dont pay any attention to Matty "The Voice of Doom" Mc. I am sure he is the only fan of an FCS Elite 8 team that says his 3rd team All Conference QB Sucks, the Coach that has led his team to a record 14th consecutive playoff appearance should be replaced and uses words like Stinks, Paper Tiger, Worst UNH Team Ever and Terrible to describe his team. The guys name should be Gloomy Gus because he brings his entire teams home message board down. If I'm ever in too good a mood and I want to level off a bit I just read some of his posts, hahaha. Now that that is out of the way, what a great college football game that was last night. Hats off to Weber St for going into an almost impossible place to win and having the defending National Champions and current #1 team in the nation on the ropes and taking a standing 8 count!!! Equal hats off to JMU for showing the true heart of a champion and pulling off the win. I truly enjoyed every snap of that game. Whoever takes over at QB for Schor might be more talented but I can't imagine him having the same poise, leadership, grit and intangibles that Schor possesses!! Looking forward to the UNH defense playing great today and taking this game down to the wire with the offense doing just enough to get the W. Good luck to all the 1/4 Final teams and congratulations to JMU on the win and Weber St for showing everyone what a great heart and team they have.
