Breaking down the UNI Panthers

[nrg4isu]

UNI sets that trap every time we play against them. Messingham fell for it. Manning didn't. But he probably should have at least tried running a little bit to keep them honest. It's a fine line to walk.

I think people forget that a big storyline heading into that season was that Purdy needed to learn how to protect himself. His Freshman year he played loose and just did his thing. I can only imagine that he was being coached HARD on how to stay in the pocket, how to slide, and focus on being a passer instead of a run-first QB.

You're right that UNI had that gameplan, but I firmly believe that Purdy was heavily instructed to not run.

This time around, I don't think there'll be any such emphasis. Purdy is a senior and won't be told that he can't run.

exactly. IMO people who think losing to UNI is impossible either are drinking some delicious Kool aide or haven’t been around very long. By the way, I hope that they are 1000% right.

Nice little conversation with yourself.

I'll be counting the number of UNI fans wearing hok gear.

@JStanz51, how can they be 7-0 in those games when one of the seven hasn't been played yet? Do you know something we don't know?

Forgot one of the games I meant to include on the list. Last year's Kansas game at -27.5.

Remo, you'll probably have to take off your shoes because you will certainly run out of fingers.

Good point. I may take some photos of Purple Hoks, in between eating brats, drinking beer and doing shots. It's gonna be a great day!!

Not a whole lot of lopsided scores in there, even when they've been more of less dominated

Also, I love you guys but it would be so nice to play somebody else. Too bad nobody else will pick up the phone....

I don’t see us winning by more than 24 bc of how both teams play.

I still have PTSD from the last time we played UNI

I fully anticipate an uncomfortable game Saturday with a lot of 'why not just pick up the 1st down there?' type of stuff.
