Quote: "We're going to have two virtual play-in games this upcoming Saturday: New Hampshire at Maine and Northern Colorado at Cal Poly. The losers of those games are definitely out, and the winners are most likely in."

So you're saying there's a chance :thumb:
 
Awesome to see that. It is that damn Davis game that still haunts us. We had no business losing that game. If we win it, we have a much better chance of the postseason.
 
That's crazy to even be in a conversation like that even though this would be a very tough one to win.
 
Fun to be in the discussion of postseason play, especially after talks at preseason of coming in 11th or worse by many sites. Cal Poly presents us with a unique style with their triple option, so it will be interesting to see how our DC schemes for this smashmouth football. Our defense has improved and will need to be able to stop them a few times - we've had games where we didn't have but 1 or 2 punts the whole game so hoping we can them to punt 4 or more. Offensively, I think Boyer needs to open up the playbook and throw more than 12 times this week, this team is very good versus the run. With Riek and Cartegena possibly out again, getting the ball to our big playmakers (Deggs, Miller, Wesley, McCauley) in space will be huge, then pound them with Graham. Need to limit turnovers and penalties, nothing stupid. GO BEARS!

Here are some good sites on FCS playoff predictions - totally being discounted so I hope the guys get pumped up and fight like crazy!:

Northern Colorado (6-4, 4-3 Big Sky) at No. 24 Cal Poly (6-4, 4-3). The final FCS game to kick off Saturday night has a lot at stake. Cal Poly will get into the field of 24 with a win, while Northern Colorado will be a possibility. Quarterback Kyle Sloter has been a savior for UNC by stepping in for injured starter Jacob Knipp, but the Bears don’t defend the run enough to beat Cal Poly on the road.
Pick: Cal Poly

Northern Colorado (6-4, 4-3 Big Sky) at X-No. 21 Cal Poly (6-4, 4-3) - All the bubble teams will be glued to scoring updates from this final game of the FCS weekend. Cal Poly should be in the field of 24 with a win. Northern Colorado - not so much.

Big Sky Conference

› Montana State (3-7, 1-6) at No. 22 Montana (6-4, 3-4)

› Northern Colorado (6-4, 4-3) at No. 21 Cal Poly (6-4, 4-3)

› Weber State (6-4, 5-2) at Idaho State (2-8, 1-6)

Eastern Washington and North Dakota are heading to the playoffs. UND finished the conference slate unbeaten and EWU should do the same by winning Friday night at Portland State. The Mustangs’ resume looks the best out of the three teams vying for win No. 7 with victories over Pioneer League champ San Diego and South Dakota State and a head-to-head win over Montana. That win may very well be the deciding factor between Cal Poly and the Griz if they are fighting for one spot. The Wildcats joined the discussion with their victory over Cal Poly last week, but Weber State’s resume lacks the pop other teams are bringing to the table.
 
Tough loss. Good year. Hope they fix what needs to be tightened up and come back stronger. I think when all is said and done, though, the teams in the Big Sky do think we are a team to be reckoned with. I hope we continue to strengthen our weaknesses and grow our strengths. I wish our Seniors well in their future endeavors. They have played with great pride for this team, their teammates, their school, and themselves and it has shown over the last four or five years the work they have put into the team and themselves.

We should all be proud to be a bear and thank those who have worked so hard to bring back the spirit of this team to the school. Thank you all and good luck to each and every one of you. We hope UNC has given to you the foundation and stepping stones to a wonderfully fulfilled life! GO BEARS!
 
Good game last night. Both teams offenses were very impressive. Defense not so much.

Coach Walsh said all year long that the three most improved teams in the Big Sky were UNC, UND and WSU. He said all three are building solid programs and the Big Sky better watch out. Looks like he was right.
