Week 3: Southern Utah

[JackJD]

Re: Week 3: Southern Utah

In the Big Sky pre-season football poll (league coaches and media representatives), last week's opponent, Cal Poly, was picked fifth. This week's opponent, Southern Utah, was picked sixth. As you review the following, note the position of Weber State -- NDSU had trouble with Weber this past weekend. Of course, a lot has changed since the pre-season poll in July. Cal Poly had a problem with player suspensions and may struggle to finish ahead of Northern Arizona and SUU.


The Big Sky coaches and media agreed on the first six: (1. Eastern Washington
2. Montana
3. Montana State
4. Cal Poly
5. Northern Arizona
6. Southern Utah

Here's the prediction of the coaches for the remainder of the conference.
7. Sacramento State
8. Portland State
9. UC Davis
10. North Dakota
11. Weber State
12. Idaho State
13. Northern Colorado.

The media's remaining selections were:
7. UC Davis seventh
8. Portland State
9. Sacramento State
10. Idaho State
11. North Dakota
12. Weber State
13. Northern Colorado

Re: Week 3: Southern Utah

This is always a difficult trip given how the team has to get there.

Any information on any watch parties in Sioux Falls? Will the game be broadcast on Root Sports through the Big Sky's deal with them? Any information is greatly appreciated.

The game may be on www.americaonesports.com

As of right now it looks free.

Not a true statement.

Although not technically true....with a game against a D3 team State will likely need 8 wins to make playoffs. With away games at NDSU, ISU-Red, and UNI, these games are huge.

Not a true statement.

Maybe not...but losing to a team that isn't in the AGS top 40 won't help. Need to go to the middle of nowhere and get this "W".

Once again this a game the Jacks absolutely have to win in order to stay in the playoff hunt.

Not only that but knock down the Big Sky again and raise the conference profile, to insure if we are a strap hanger we can get in ahead of the 12 Big Sky autobids. I don't know anything about SUU except what everyone else knows. Always a difficult trip there. My confidence in our QB is gaining. Lo.ing at their roster there are some very tall DB's, couldn't find their depth chart. The jump ball might not be a slam dunk

The Jacks go on the road to take on the Southern Utah this weekend. Game time is 7 CT. The Thunderbirds are 0-2 this year, having lost to FBS Nevada 19-28, and #3 FCS SELA 14-41, a game they had within 14-20 at the start of the 4th quarter. This is also the Thunderbirds Homecoming game so should be a pretty raucous crowd on hand
