Our highest ranking in a decade!

Wish we had that 12th game. Could make playoff tiebreakers weird

u/noahpaz88 Youngstown State Penguins 4d ago

I agree. NDSU still screwing us and they’re not even in our subdivision anymore. Wish we could have gotten a fourth non con game

u/cbblythe Youngstown State Penguins 4d ago

Yeah I’d love a game against Villanova or Richmond…someone from a decent conference. Hell give me Lehigh any day of the week

That would be a good watch

I think you'll be a Top 4 seed, and it might not be 3 or 4.

u/cbblythe Youngstown State Penguins 4d ago

We have a clunker left in us I think

Winning out would be too easy

6-0 and #2 in the country…will have to wait 6 weeks to find out if we’re legit

u/Wizzmer Tarleton State Texans 4d ago

Are we legit? Was Bender Hall a real dorm? Will we ever be seen as a non-cowboy college? These things and more to be sorted in the weeks to come.

Hahaha good old Bender over and Dirty Ferg!! Hahaha I was in Traditions as that’s where they put us scholarship players on campus back then but some of our walk on brethren were in Bender and the Ferguson

I was in Crockett with the rest of the male athletes. No scholarships for sports when I attended, accept rodeo.

Looks like some of our injured guys are back on the depth chart. Thank you bye week.

Still undefeated….for now.

u/montalaskan Montana State Bobcats 4d ago

I'd be shocked if you don't enter the playoffs undefeated looking at the schedule.

Incoming Abilene upset.

u/Tpoontappa69 :uac: Tarleton State Texans • UAC 4d ago edited 4d ago

Yeah ACU will play the game of their lives. Tarleton will start slow with a turnover and a couple poor decisions. The Tarleton furious comeback will fall just short. It’s almost like we’ve seen this before. At least we didn’t lose to Idaho.

Honestly I cant even argue with this because, even me being a tarleton fan, knows thats tradition for us 😭

Love that we’ve been able to support Beau and the offense this year with an improved defense. Feeling good about keeping up the momentum this week at UNI

u/UNIPanther043 Northern Iowa Panthers 4d ago

I'm excited to see how we take our momentum against y'all. Going to be an exciting watch Sat afternoon!

Side question, any idea what uniform y'all rocking? The all white with the throwback logo is a favorite. They rocked it at the Dome last year and I talked to a few of the players about it. One of the fanbases I enjoy when they travel and walk through the tailgate lot, and the players always seem to talk to my kids on the sideline.

u/noahpaz88 Youngstown State Penguins 4d ago

We won’t wear white at home unfortunately. I bet it’s all reds with the penguin helmet since it’s homecoming

u/ksig84 Morehead State Eagles 4d ago

Got nothing….

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota 4d ago

We got some of our injured captains back for this week vs EWU

Taco still out, but Lamson, Caden, and Jones are back

u/Windows_66 Iowa Hawkeyes • Drake Bulldogs 4d ago

Probably our best defensive performance of the season. The first allowed touchdown was only because the offense fumbled the ball, and the second allowed touchdown was because of a questionable DPI call. Otherwise, the defense consistently held firm and even caused a couple turnovers.

Now if only the offense could have capitalized.

u/Jolly_Job_9852 Western Carolina • Silver Shako 4d ago

You only gave up 17 points to Mercer, that's impressive given the barnburner we had last year

u/Kyro_Official_ Washington State • Easter… 4d ago

It was a horrible game, but hey a win is a win

u/Themusicman04 EKU Colonels 4d ago

We won something at least

u/Rontheworm UIW • Penn State 2d ago

If there’s any silver lining to having three FCS losses it is that they are all to top 10 ranked teams on the road, including one by 2 points and one by 3 points.
