NAU had a hard fought victory over a talented Cal Poly team last weekend in Flagstaff and looked much better than the previous week @ U of South Dakota but I think the Bears are due in this series. NAU struggled vs. UNC last year in Flagstaff (closer game than the final score showed if I remember correctly?) and were truly lucky to win the previous year on a last minute field goal in Greeley. It's just a gut feeling but this may be the day UNC gets this monkey off their back.
NAU's offense has been more balanced this year than their run heavy approach the last few years with Zach Bauman. It will be interesting to see which quarterback NAU goes with today. NAU's offensive line is severely banged up big time at the moment and they only had 7 healthy lineman last weekend. NAU's defense is young, losing 9 starters from last season's squad. They have been lit up pretty well a few times this year and it will take a while for this unit to be ready to compete every week.
Wish I was in Greeley today. Good luck, Bears fans.
