I think SP+ (also ESPN owned) was manipulated after this last round of realignment as well. A lot of emphasis on conference affiliation over anything else.

What if his dad has this ultimate set of tools? Maybe he could fix it?
I’m not here to argue. Saturday around 6 pm one of us will be more correct. If I’m wrong I’ll buy you a beer. Deal?
It was a good thing for him his guy was so wide open and the defender tried to pick it off rather than conceding the reception and running to the spot to cut him off and make the tackle because it was underthrown and his receiver had to essentially stop and wait for the ball.
Pretty much every starting D1 QB "has some big time throws." What makes a QB great is consistency. Yes, Avery completed a high percentage of his passes, but so many of them were high, behind or low so the receiver had to make an extra effort to make the catch rather than having it in stride to make more of the completions into big plays. He's a head scratcher looking All American on one throw and then throwing the ball behind his target's feet on the next play, scrambling for a first down on the next play, and throwing the ball away to absolutely nobody while still in the pocket on the next. I don't think the problem is in his arms or his feet - it's between his ears. When things aren't going well he starts playing scared and sometimes panics. I thought he might grow out of it, but he is a junior now and he still looks scared and still thinking about the last play when things don't go well.
It's pretty much the Dakota schools and the Montana schools. It is cool that those states support their FCS programs to the level they do. You get these schools in the middle of absolute nowhere that are powerhouses and fanatical about their football (no offense Fargo and Missoula).
My question to you would be what makes you confident this will be a good game when last year, South Dakota struggled and lost by two scores to one of the worst teams in the Big 10? Wisconsin had a big game next week at home against Alabama so it was also a “trap game” for them.
This is exact vibe I get as well. The staff and team know they will have to play well to win. This isn't SEMO from 2022. Iowa State will get USD best shot.
To be fair, it was a 7 point game in the 4th quarter, so USD was very much in that game late.
Yeah that’s true and a solid showing. My point was more that we’re not last year’s Wisconsin team. That team was bad.
Agree, and USD was really good last year. It's unknown if they'll be that good this season, but it seems unlikely given how much they lost.
Disagree, moberly in for end of third and Manske gets a few snaps at the end.
Don’t be surprised if Manske is the first QB in as a sub. He is the one who warmed up with Rocco every series in the first game.
I was expecting it. Moberly has had D1 reps, Manske has not. They will want to get him a taste.
I think it may come down to the situation. I think they want manske to get reps so he gets a feel and they see live action from him. I don’t think they want him taking a huge amount of time though at this stage.
Edit: BTW, his younger brother looked solid Friday night. Algona has some athletes if they can keep getting more physical.
