As you can tell I am pretty optimistic that we recover from this NDSU loss.  This team has the potential to do very well offensively, and if the defense can come up with some big plays and stop the opponents on an occasional third down, that will help.

Thanks for the welcome, looking for a new place to discuss the Cats.  Looks like you have well informed people here, looking forward to some great discussions.

I have no worries about this weekend.  I believe we will give up 24 to their talented QB as our defense continues to mesh.  However, I believe we hang over 42 on them.  Snyder wants to get his #2's action so badly, its not even funny.  He will open the play book up early and often to get a large lead and get our 2's tested.  With some unknown on the defensive side of the ball, he has to get more guys game time action.  We roll big in our next two games.

I have to say, I haven't seen anyone ever make a prediction with an assumption we lose the next game.  That concerns me!

Welcome catchick.

Completely agree with you on the character of this team. Hopefully they turn this disappointment to anger then find a way to recover with a win this weekend.

Defense definitely was a lot more fired up than the OL.  I wish there was a way we could have kept Devon Nash, I think he would have been key in our defense.  I am really looking forward to Saturday, to see what kind of character these men have.

I like that prediciton so I won't make another one.

Here is my prediction if we lose LaLa

vs Balyor - W <- The team is up for this game as retribution from last year. If they still have the heart after 4 losses.

5 wins, could end up with only 4. If we don't win this weekend expect a repeat of the 2004 and 2005 season.

Changed up my predictions based on our performance and others.  Texas looked good, and I think they grab the W for the first time in so many years i can't remember.  OSU looked meh against Miss St. who is a bottom feeder in the SEC.  I think we bounce back and grab our first road win there.  OU will be so darn good and needing to beat us to clench the Big 12 title that they roll in and out with a W.  8 wins with a bowl victory (woot!).

Honestly I think the defense out performed on Saturday. They kept an amazing offense to only 24 points! Our offense with fault going to Snyder and the O-Line was unable to score, that is why we lost.

I Completely agree with these points. It was just the perfect team to come in and take advantage of our inexperience and lack of leadership. I was really impressed on how Waters did for his first game at this level and knowing Sam's was on the sideline just waiting to get out there makes me even more excited that we don't have all of our eggs in one basket. I think going forward I think our offense will gel and do what they need to do (28-42 points a game) but I think our problem will be the defense also giving up 20-30 points a game :/
