Who Will Win: New Hampshire at Northern Iowa

[UNHFootballAlum]

The weather was great last week and your offense put up 22 points while starting four drives at or beyond mid-field and this week you go up against a better defense. I can see Coulson's rationale for predicting a low-scoring game. xpeacex Just sayin'......

As a team UNH put up 29 points. The game is not about which offense scores the most, its the final score that counts. If we score on speacial teams and defense I will be as happy as if the offense scores. Coulson's pick of a low scoring game based upon history of these games with UNI and how much both teams have scored throughout the season is ridiculous

Based on recent history with UNI's defense is isn't as asinine as one might assume.

Don't you realize that the low point total was due to the crown on the field being so high. xsmiley_wix Or maybe it was the referees? xsmiley_wix

Honestly, I expect another nailbiter with decent amount of points being scored. I expect both teams to come out firing on all cylinders. It will come down to who can disrupt the other's game plan.

Unfortunately, I can't make the game. I have my son's flag football award ceremony on Sunday morning and I had enough trouble trying to get us both back to Chicago after the Delaware game last year (90 miles in 3 1/2 hours before calling it a night).

How many points did UNI score on SIU?

[clenz]

How many points did UNI score on SIU?
24 with a KO return for a TD called back.

[Mountain Panther]

24 with a KO return for a TD called back.

And we turned the ball over 5 times. FIVE TIMES.

FIVE



TIMES

[ChickenMan]

UNH will have a very good shot to win.. IF their QB plays well. I expect that UNI will limit UNH's running game and Toman will have to carry the UNH load offensively. Toman is a very capable QB.. but he will have to play much better than he did last week for UNH to get a win. If Toman does play well and UNH protects the ball.. they will have a good chance to win the game.

[WrenFGun]

Clearly shouldn't credit SIU there (though you should surely credit SIU for UNH's offensive troubles, absolutely, definitely, makes sense, no doubt).

[UNI Pike]

How much, if any, has the UNH offense changed as a result of the switch from Santos to Toman? I get the sense that they are two players with similar styles and capabilities. Yes?


UNI QB situation changed dramatically. Going from Saunders who was a true drop back passer to Grace has really added another dimension to the play calling. It will certainly change the defensive dynamic for the UHN linebackers. I would not be surprised if they run a spy on Grace most of the day.

Toman is a better athlete than Santos, but he is not as slippery and is prone to more sacks. Toman was off in his throws last week, but generally, he's been fairly accurate all season. He's a bigger threat in space than Santos because of his natural athleticism. He's not played in a ton of close games this season, though he's manufactured two big drives (For the GW TD against Maine in a blizzard, and for 8 minutes against SIU for the Game Clinching FG).

I think UNI can get 4 to 5 yards anytime they want on a QB draw, but UNH will bear down when it comes to getting into FG range.

I do think UNI has more of an advantage seeing UNH's offense last season than UNH does having seen UNI's, because it seems like UNI's has changed far more.

The UNI fans seem a little too cocky for me. Let me remind you that UNH had you beat for the most part last year with UNI being a number one seed and UNH making the dance at the last second. Imagine what will happen with UNI as a three seed. Compare stats and use the transitive property all you want to convince yourself you're guaranteed to win, but as Wildcat fan, I have a very good feeling heading into the UNI-Dome.

So don't use stats or transative property, but because you almost beat us when we were the one seed, you will win because we are the 3 seed?

It's nice to see that you have as good a character as a small handful of your players who turn to drugs for a little extra cash. You give UNI football a great name.

You have to be kidding me all the UNH fans have been doing is asking about tailgating and defending themselves from constant criticism. It is the UNI fans that brought up that they beat Maine by more than UNH did. And its UNI fans that are saying we cant be good without Santos. All UNH fans want to know is where the beer and hotdogs are.xnodx

Although I agree and understand where your frustration is coming from, its not worth getting worked up over it. They'll stand behind the past and won't budge until they're proven otherwise. Just take their comments with a grain of salt as us fans on a forum cannot win the game.

[WrenFGun]

Neither teams fans deserve a bad rap. No need for personal attacks, fellas.

I don't think either team likes each other much, and I think there is a one-sided dislike by UNH fans of UNI, but UNI has been nothing but receptive to the rivalry, with a lot of fans congratulating UNH for a gutsy effort last season. People are well aware that UNH is capable of providing a game effort. UNI fans should understand that there are few fanbases on this board who get more crap than UNH does, for whatever reason. They're closing in on Montana for the crap they get.

What irks me is simply ignoring what UNH has done offensively all season. UNH has the second best offense that UNI has faced all season. I'd put UNH up against SDSU any of the week. UNI is, however, the first or second best defense UNH has gone up against, up there with 'Nova.

Neither of these teams are getting a lot of respect from the National media. If Appy beats Richmond, the winner of this game will have my vote for making the national championship. If neither 'Nova or JMU make it to the finals, they'll have my vote to win it all, too.

Let's keep it civil.

[UNI Pike]

Many UNI fans would agree that last year, there was little concern about the offense, and much concern about the secondary. The secondary last year was porous all year long. At the end of the season the starting safety was booted from the team (sad, ongoing event) that didn't help. Then we drew games against two of the most potent passing attacks in the nation. Such is life.

This year, I believe that you are seeing UNI fans looking at a team with no glaring weaknesses. The secondary is much improved, the DL is much improved, the OL is close to what it was last year. The running game is improved with the dynamic of a strong running QB. Passing attack has a much stronger arm and many more quality choices in the WR. Kicking game was strong until, cough, cough, last week.

The only source of persistent issues has been kick coverage, though that has been steadily improving. This does play into one of UNH's strengths though.

Playing at home, and having an offense that has added many more wrinkles that UHN has done, in my mind, gives us an advantage. 3-7 points to start with. Heat in the Dome may be a factor also, as I don't think you have seen 75F since July (body heat from the crowd). Take it from there.

I simply hope it is a good game were the zebras are not involved. Everyone stay classy and no injuries.

[UNIFanSince1983]

It's nice to see that you have as good a character as a small handful of your players who turn to drugs for a little extra cash. You give UNI football a great name.

Okay you are talking about kids who made bad choices who you have never even come close to meeting personally? Classy!

On a side note "The Catch" was made by Montari Leonard who left the team around week 3 this year.

This should be a great game between two of the best teams in FCS for the past 4 or more years. I am worried about UNH, but just as anyone would for their own team I think we are going to win. You are entitled to your opinion or feeling that you guys can pull this out. I just hope for good weather inside the dome xsmiley_wix

Not quite true. The bickering has gone both ways. UNH fans have used SIU as a comparison just as UNI fans have used Maine. Some UNH fans have disrespected SIU by making comments about the refs and how they played their worst game ever and not giving SIU and their defense credit for some of UNH's offensive woes. I and I believe most UNI fans have a tremendous amount of respect for UNH, what they've accomplished this year and in the past 3-4 years.

I don't think anyone is ignoring what UNH has done offensively. With a secondary that had the problems ours did facing a QB as accomplished as Santos we were a little more concerned about the passing game last year. Just because some fans aren't as concerned about UNH's offense because they don't have Santos and our defense is much better doesn't mean they don't respect the offense. Most fans understand that UNH's offense is still very good and is much more balanced this year.

Thanks for the compliment about the UNI defense. Hopefully they show UNH just how good they are on Saturday.

Agree on the respect aspect. If UNH wins I'm cheering for them the rest of the way.

Here is a clue, it wasn't Gray, Williams, Hord, Herring, Collins, Oordt, Howard (played TE last year),Lewis, or Law.

[uni88]

UNI fans should understand that there are few fanbases on this board who get more crap than UNH does, for whatever reason. They're closing in on Montana for the crap they get.

Wren, I'm not sure where this is coming from. ycUNHf and UNH_Alum_In_CT are two of the more respected posters on AGS and very deservedly get very little crap (except for ycUNHf's addiction to the PAM thread :) ). I've honestly never noticed UNH posters taking that much more crap than other posters. Maybe I've missed it.

I also wouldn't worry about the Montana fans. They're tough nuts and can give as good as they get.

I'll say it again..couldn't Montari have left the team BEFORE that game?

UNH fans disrespecting SIU has nothing to do with UNI fans saying how UNH has no chance. and UNH fans making the SIU comparison was in response to UNI fans making the Maine comparison.

[UNI Pike]

Scuttlebutt is that the crowd will be smaller than last year's. Likely in the 11-13K range unless there is a last minute surge in sales. TV all over the place does put a crimp in the attendance.

[UNI Pike]

Any injuries of note heading into the game?

UNI DB James Craig had an injury that took him out of the Maine game, but I am unaware of what it was.
UNI DL Mark Huygens still battling a separated shoulder at about 80%

Nothing else comes to mind

[UNIFanSince1983]

It is actually Craig James. And do you know why he was playing receiver against Maine? Or any UNI fan know why he was playing WR?

[Houndawg]

Toman is a better athlete than Santos, but he is not as slippery and is prone to more sacks. Toman was off in his throws last week, but generally, he's been fairly accurate all season. He's a bigger threat in space than Santos because of his natural athleticism. He's not played in a ton of close games this season, though he's manufactured two big drives (For the GW TD against Maine in a blizzard, and for 8 minutes against SIU for the Game Clinching FG).



True, as far as it goes, but Toman started at least four drives at midfield or better against SIU and got FGs at best; the offense put up 7 points.xpeacex Just sayin'....

Craig has been a DB, WR, KR since fall camp. I'm pretty positive he is the fastest player on our team.

[PantherRob82]

If anyone is interested in hanging out with myself and some folks from New Hampshire tonight, PM me your number. Not positive on the time. Yorkcounty said they arrive at 5pm.

[Engy0]

James did something to his quad I believe(but don't quote me on it), It happened on kickoff coverage and he came out on crutches later. I only think it is this because I heard him talking to some of the players and I THINK that is what I heard.

True, he has. But he also manufactured a total of seven points last weekend in a game where he had at least four drives start at midfield or better. That's got to worry the coaches going into a game against a better defense. Without brilliant special teams play you'd be home bad-mouthing Toman right now.

As someone said he's a playmaker. He may be small, but the Maine LB he laid out on a crackback probably doesn't think so.

He also was recruited to Louisville out of HS as a WR and then converted to DB as a Fr before transferring. He was the favorite target in HS for his QB, some guy name Tebow who played against The Citadel this year.

It's a close contest between James and Herring for fastest on the team.

[smcwildcat]

So don't use stats or transative property, but because you almost beat us when we were the one seed, you will win because we are the 3 seed?

It benefits UNH that they've played at UNI before. The initial first 5-10 minutes of the game are difficult to handle because of the arena football atmosphere. The home field advantage more than likely restricts the panther's ability to win on the road in the playoffs. I Won't venture a guess as to who will win this game though.

the Panthers haven't lost a playoff game on the road since 2003.

Since that time, they are 2-0 on the road, 3-1 at home, and 0-1 at a neutral site.


And yes, the "arena football" atmosphere at UNI is much different than the "high school" atmosphere at UNH. ;op
