The game the week prior with be far more important. UNI is not used to last year's team performance & they have more talent, (at least faster talent) than NDSU, in the skilled positions. NDSU blew us out ...who cares? UUnitl this staff field an MVFC-caliber team ...we are never going to beat a good NDSU team. We need nickel & dime packages, a power run game, tighter special teams coverage. Obviously we did not have a good game. UNI regularly beats us at our best. UNI has taken us out of the post-season how many times? UNI is 3-1 against us when we go into the game undefeated. Take things one week at a time. Sparty is young & ripe. We can pick them off. Then when we drop both DSU games, we still have a shot at the post-season. The Redbirds are no surprise this year.
