EWU is a road game.BleedingBLue wrote:UND is going to be right there again. I was just looking at their schedule and it's pretty weak in conference again. They get both EWU and MSU at home. They have PSU, UNC, UCD and Sac on the schedule. Studsrud started to play a lot better at the end of the year too. We lost by 2 last season though with zero offense to speak of. As with most of our games this year I think that one will be close but very winnable. EWU has to come to us, making that game winnable especially with their changes. SDSU being at home is a plus too. Don't write us off in that one yet.91catAlum wrote:I agree, if we can steal a game or 2 on the road, the most likely are the EWU and UND games. I'm expecting UND to be very tough again, tough to say what EWU will look like but they've always got plenty of talent there.luckyirishguy25 wrote:I think we have a good shot at UND and EWU. EWU is going to be reeling next year, I don't care what anyone says, Baldwin was a great coach. UND could be another nail biter, but I think we will be significantly improved and that may give us the edge. NAU I completely agree, I don't know why we can't win there, and SDSU/WSU are going to be total beat downs but that's how we get better.91catAlum wrote:All our home games are at least winnable with the possible exception of the SDSU game. So that's 5 likely wins.
All our road games are very difficult, with the possible exception of UNCU.
So 6 wins are likely.
In order to win more than 6, we have to win from this group of games:
SDSU, playoff quarter-finalist last year
At NAU, where we never seem to win
At UND, conference winner last year
At EWU, I think we have 1 win there in the last decade
At Wash State, an FBS team
So 6-5 seems most likely. We'd have to beat a very tough team in order to get to 7 wins.
And I agree, SDSU isn't an automatic loss, especially since we're at home. But it will be a tough one.
