Thursday (8-29-24) Night Football

[DoubleNicks]

From ESPN+, future opponents Morehead State (live) and EWU (vs. Monmouth @7) play. Also, Western Carolina is playing but you need access to ACCN. Stephen F. Austin (Vidlak) also plays on ESPN+ @6. NDSU on ESPN/ESPNU.

Will be interesting to see how EWU holds up against a CAA team.

Morehead State looks god awful so far. I suspect we get a lot of experience down the depth chart that game. Not like that is a hot take or anything.

A lot of the other games look like week 1 games. Lots of mistakes and sloppy play so far.

Colorado is gonna be in trouble

Colorado is gonna be in trouble

i don't think so.

NDSU looked pretty outmatched on that last drive. They hit a big play off the bat but couldn’t turn it into 6.

 

[Tony Clifton]

You don't think.

I've read your posts, nobody front runs more than you

 

[Tony Clifton]

Colorado looks a little over matched on this drive

 

[hm.grwn.grizfan]

Western Carolina looks straight up legit

 

[DoubleNicks]

Playing against a non-DI but Vidlak with 2 quick screens to go 77 yards for opening TD.

Western Carolina seems to handle crowd noise just fine, and has a VERY dynamic passing attack. Reminds me a lot of the EWU teams of the 2010-2019 era. That game is going to be a big time test. Can’t start slow against those guys. I don’t know why the neighbors have been shit talking our schedule. Missouri state, North Dakota, and western Carolina are all going to be tough games

 

[DoubleNicks]

I agree that Morehead looks about what everyone expected. Should be able to move the ball on them pretty easily. Poor tackling/coverage.

 

[DoubleNicks]

Man, Vidlak with another flat pass for long TD. I think he's 3/3 for 2 TD and probably about 150 yards.

Wish I could watch. Looks like a good game just following the box, especially against Top 25 FBS.

 

[DoubleNicks]

Haha Vidlak with a 500.3 QBR. 5/5 with 199 yards with 3 TDs.

Good for him but who is North American University????

 

[DoubleNicks]

Good for him but who is North American University????

Yeah, exactly. But still outlandish numbers.

EWU looking much improved from last year.

 

[DoubleNicks]

EWU secondary looking susceptible yet again.

 

[mtgrizrule]

I said Vidlak would do better in a system more focused on a pocket passer. Then again, the competition sucks. I'm pulling for him.

 

[Montana37]

Good for him but who is North American University????

Yeah I don't think that's even a real school. I'd probably torch them myself lol

 

[HelenaHandBasket]

Monmouth DL is totally outmatched,. EWU should win by a comfortable margin.
