I haven’t seen a thread yet so let’s talk about it! How do we see this game playing out, considering it’s basically the same squad from 2021 that beat us?

But we are certainly not the same team as 2021. So who has progressed more? Will we be healthy? Game day conditions? What surprises has coach Smith got in store? All exciting stuff

HC offense is much more diversified this time around.
And SDSU was #1 then and is #1 now with much of the same squad, at least on offense.
Jacks thumped a very good but highly inconsistent Delaware team yesterday. I'm pretty confident we'll put up a better showing than the Hens.
Love SDSU fans -- great people. Win or lose, they will treat HC visitors well.

William and Mary has the ability to win it all They are certainly in the top three when it comes to roster talent
Interesting how the committee seeded and all eight are still alive
While some might be better and deeper, all of the seeded are capable of raising the trophy in Frisco

Early forecast for Brookings. NWS Saturday Mostly cloudy, with a high near 34. Saturday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 18.
Saturday is the warmest day of the week. ---------- Better than Bozeman for the Tribe.

Iowa 7- SDSU 3. Clearly, the Jacks are strong & tough. They are well coached. They play a relentless brand of violent, disruptive football. Sort of reminds me of HC. No doubt a strong squad HC squad will be competitive. Great respect for SDSU and their wonderful fans. Let's Win!!!

And some day, if you are lucky, you'll be old and talk about the weather too.

As luck would have it, I am going to be in Greece on a long planned trip with Mrs Chu Chu for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The good news is, I have the ESPN app on my iPad fired up and ready to go. Now I just have to figure out what time to tune in!

We beat a bowl eligible Buffalo team stacked with power 5 transfers. The main thing I’m worried about is our defensive speed, but I don’t know how they will contain Sluka and Co. if Smith has some of his tricks up his sleeve.

Does ESPN do Gameday this week ? I think Gameday is done for the season. Would be epic to get them back in Brookings. Tix should be fairly open on the East side and a mild Saturday weather wise for December in SD. Wintry mix forecasted later in the day last I checked. A few things regarding Jacks fans, media: Matt Zimmer, Argus Leader best writer. He will have good stuff in print and on Twitter Search Jackrabbit Illustrated, great crew of fans that lead a blog and podcast. Search them on Facebook, YouTube, podcasts, twitter. Matt Tollefson and others are wonderful and put out great content. Tailgate I’m guessing will open at 6am(5hours prior). Join in and mingle with the fans. You’ll get fed well and drinks too im assuming. It’s an ag school in a farming state so plenty of awesome down home cooking. Stadium did start allowing beer sales this year, wildly popular. Go to the www.gojacks.com to see stadium rules. The clear bag policy especially. Any other questions let me know in a pm. I’ll answer when I can.

The main thing I’m worried about is our defensive speed, but I don’t know how they will contain Sluka and Co. if Smith has some of his tricks up his sleeve. The biggest strength of the Jackrabbit D is the depth. They play 8+ on the line. The LBs have depth that has strengthened all season mainly due to injury. The CBs really have 4 starting quality guys and rotate too. Safeties go 3-4 deep. Fast and physical, the “Chaingang”/Dline will look to impose their will and control the LOS. I think that’s what was the issue before with HC, Sluka was just trying to survive back there. If Oline for HC is solid that’s a plus for you. The Iowa loss opening day, 7-3, was won by the Hawkeye D and the punter. Iowa scored a FG and 2 safeties to get to 7.

As you well know, our defense that contained Buffalo was led by .Jacob Dobbs. god we could use him Saturday. Offensively for the Jacks it’s all about the Oline. Anchored on the left by all conference LT Greenfield and LG McCormick. The “605 Hogs”(SD area code, the only one) are built to dominate the trenches. RB Davis is a wrecking ball and has speed too. Search his spring championship run of 85 yards. At WR the Janke twins are getting NFL consideration as well as invites to senior showcases. Gronowski is the QB and he’s 19-3 in games started, one loss being the spring championship where he blew a knee the first series. The strongest position though is TE. Arguably the top TE tandem in all of college FB play for the Jacks in Kraft and Heins. Kraft has already declared for the draft and is likely an early day 2 pick. Heins is possibly an early day 3.
