I believe the Summit MBB game has gone a long way to add gas to the fire of the rivalry. TBSD, I can tell already how you’ve influenced this board and I can imagine how pumped you are at games. I honestly can’t wait to meet many of you in Brookings next year(or maybe this year 😉). As far as the chess match, I’m interested in a few in game moves... 1- How do the Jacks handle Streveler, will there be a spy on him always? If so, who is that spy? Common sense would say Rozeboom but I’m not sure, he’s pretty valuable as a whole to the D. My guess is Balster, sure he’s a safety but he’s a sound tackler and good at reading and diagnosing. 2- How do the Yotes take care of the “3 amigos”? Last year they contained them rather well but at the expense of giving up over 400 yds of rushing. The Yote D-line is much improved so I don’t see that happening. But something has to give to cover Jake and Dallas tightly. 3- Trench warfare, which line units win on Saturday? So many other mini chess matches as well but those are the big 3 I’ll be watching for. Please say hi if you see me. I might be hard to pick out though since so many of our fans will be wearing red 96 jersey's and coyote headdress's on their heads! ...don't forget your black dyed beard, I think that'll set you apart.
Unfortunately I will not make it down for the game, sounds like it'll be a raucous time.

I'll agree to an extent. I won't speak for Streveler but in regards to Christion his happy feet aren't necessarily as prevelant but he'll take what's presented. Let's be honest though, neither guy is a pocket passer, they are dual threats. In past years, yes Christion has taken off. this season he has become better at finding the 3rd and 4th guys in the pattern. Both Streveler and Christion will handle any pressure well as they are seasoned. It's what happens when they break the pocket. TC has found ways to get the ball to guys downfield. I'm not sure as I haven't seen much of Streveler so I cannot speak to that. The few times TC hasn't thrown he's taken off and like CS he can eat up huge chunks of yards. As evidenced by his 90 yd run earlier this year and the 84 yd run last week. Blitz at your own peril I guess is at hand. High reward if you can get either QB behind the line but very high risk if either break out...exciting stuff, the reigning MVFC Offensive POY and the frontrunner for this years award.

I heard they invite opposing fans to set up early on thursday or friday in lot D. I think its alright to move the barricades if you have a rig. I feel I need to add that its just for SDSU fans however. I see what you're doing there....you're a wiley coyote aren't you. As long as the barricades are from ACME barricade company, that's the only barricade company us rabbits trust.

Soooo...curious, what exactly did the “little rabbit dude” post that was so terrible. If you’re discussing the Jackrabbit Illustrated post I felt he was rather complimentary of your sons unit and the D in general. If you want apples to apple that’ll have to wait until after Saturday...that’s the only true measure I’d guess. Statistically speaking on the season the Yotes are giving up 382.1 yds/gm and the Jacks give up 355.9. Points the Jacks have given up 22.0 to the Yotes 22.8. There are several other stats that show similar numbers. What I think we can see is both teams have good D’s and great Offenses. Let the chess match ensue. Ultimately Matt at Jackrabbit Illustrated is a fan, knowledgeable and insightful. He’s putting in time for Jacks fans because it’s his passion. I’d expect his writing to reflect a Jackrabbit bias and fandom. I like it, but then again I’m a wascaly wabbit...😊

I just read that it has been since 1997 since the last time the coyotes beat the jacks in vermilion. wow some students were not even alive yet. Wrong. We beat them in 2000. And that's not a 17-game streak because we didn't play them for nine years. It's an 8-game win streak, which is bad enough without exaggerating it out to 20. I believe his point had to do with the Yotes beating the Jacks in Vermillion, the 2000 game was in Brookings. You guys ran all over us that day...

Would your poll be perceived differently on a Jacks or Bison site, sure...our site had a thread about if it was time for Stig to go. This was started be a former player who I believe loves Stig the man. It was in no way a fire Stig thread but quickly headed that direction. The frustration many were venting is that when the Jacks lay an egg it's similar mistakes yearly and consensus is lack of in game adjustments. Losing sucks, but when it's your in state rival it burns a little more. There are games where everything seems to go wrong(yours=NDSU, ours=UNI) where at some point you look back and say, no way does a normal game go down like that. I expect a hard fought battle this Saturday in the Dome with so many intangibles. I can honestly see this turning ugly for either team quickly or being nip/tuck and it being one on the last possession or a last second FG.

Thumper, You being here is rather pointless. We know in your mind you have the Jacks at roughly a 99.995 percent chance to win so there is really no need to have any further discussion with you. We get it the Coyotes suck and the Jacks are great. Thumper, you’re giving them a .005% chance to win...you only gave the Bison a .001% chance...living in Fargo has tainted you. I won’t speak for Thumper but I enjoy some banter and exchanges of thoughts on the game. This is where us armchair QBs can voice our uneducated opinions... I enjoy when opposing fans come to sdsufans and share thoughts...the beauty of free speech, we all can sound like morons...it’s just that some are better than others.

Any of the scores against State turnovers? 14 of those points for unI probably shouldn’t count against our D. 17 of the UNI points were from turnovers. Stats say 10 but a fumble punt inside the 20, a fumble kick return inside the 20 and a Pick returned to the 3 all in the first qtr

Sure. However your home games were against the bottom of the barrel as well. I’m well aware that the Dome is and advantage for you guys, but it’s not as massive as your home and away games make it seem. SIU is awful without their qb, so that’s not that impressive of a performance. ISUb is a dumpster fire, and the only team with an offensive pulse put up 30+ on you at the dome. Your one example was actually 28 points, and it was Youngstown State when they were playing like an elite team (7 days after absolutely dominating SDSU). UND, ISUb, and SIU (minus their QB) are terrible. We only beat them 143-13 though. My opinion, if we pressure Christian we win. SDSU's run game doesn't concern me, but those big wideouts on our 4th and 5th corners will kill if we can't penetrate. Our offense should be putting up about 35 points. Just a matter of our defense having a pulse. Pressuring Christion is a pick your poison. ISUr did a nice job of getting pressure, were able to get some hits and tip passes(a couple were picked). At some point Goedert and Weineke are going to be singled up as well...don’t respect the running game but with 144(69 in the 4th qtr) against NDSU and 189 against the Redbirds I think as a fan I’d be a little concerned at least.

Statistically speaking it wasn’t that much of an aberration. In conference play the two times your defense gave up less than 28 points were winless Indiana St and an SIU team who lost their QB and best offensive threat. Your defense has had five games in conference where they gave up over 28 points. I’ll compare them to the SDSU defense since it’s relevant to this week and nobody (including me) considers the SDSU defense to be very good. Probably mediocre at best. Vs ranked competition: Vs YSU: SDSU 19 USD 28 Vs WIU: SDSU 24 USD 33 Vs UNI: SDSU 38 USD 34 Vs ISUr: SDSU 24 USD 37 Vs NDSU: SDSU 21 USD 49 Basically long story short vs good competition the USD defense tends to give up pretty big chunks of points, even before a gaggle of your DBs went out. Having so many DBs out isn’t a great thing to have against our offense indoors. Our defense is a lot different from yours, seems to be more aggressive, a lot more high risk, high reward. The dback fiasco definitely doesn't help. Yours seems to be more passive, bend, don't break. Whatever works...arguments can be made for both styles. I won't go into statistics, I'm too old for that crap and it makes my eyeballs bleed. I could refer you to coyotefan if you want that kind of discussion. I'll agree that the Yotes seem to be high risk/aggressive and the Jacks may have the bend don't break mentality although an argument can be made that the Jacks mentality is changing. It'll be an interesting chess match in the trenches between our O-line and your D-line...I just can't see anything that shows me that the Coyote D-line is any more physical than the Bison or ISUr for our O-line. I guess that'll be the matchup to watch.

I will ask though, after your last game why shouldn’t we be confident vs your defense? No one else has had nearly that much success against our defense. Can SDSU play the with the same physicality? We've been strong against the run and pressuring the QB all year but couldn't win anything against their line. What indicators do you have that says your line will have success against our o-line?

Are there any tickets floating around? The Dome is way too small for this one. I know a stadium about 116 miles north that could accommodate...
Every fan base has their share of jerks...It is a rivalry game regardless of what any one says and I expect it to be a highly contested matchup. You guys will have fire to get the bad taste out of your mouths from last week as well as still fighting for a playoff seed. We are looking to secure a seed and the highest seed possible as well as a bye. Even without those implications it'd be a fight, neither of us like losing to each other in anything. Here's to a clean, hard fought game without injury. There's still plenty of football to be played by these two teams.
