The Red Birds have had a murderous run of tough football games to end the season and extend into the playoffs.

Their last 8 games play like this:
vs. #25 Youngstown State L 35-40
@ #21 South Dakota W 21-16
vs. Northern Iowa W 31-16
@ Indiana State W 52-20
@ #16 South Dakota State W 35-21
vs. #24 Southern Illinois L 7-37
@ #16 SE Louisiana W 21-3
@ #1 North Dakota State @ 29-28

Anybody who doesn't think the better team didn't win in Fargo, should watch that film, most of those picks were on tipped balls, and when it mattered, with their season on the line, the Red Birds found a way to beat #1...on the road.

They're played 6 ranked teams in their last 8 games and beaten 4 of them...ALL ROAD WINS, winning in the DakotaDome, Brookings, @ SELA and in the FargoDome.

We are absolutely in for a beast of a fight - and ISU has film on us from last post-season, where, the Aggies dropped 42 on them --- QB Rittenhouse, WR Sobkowicz, Cinci transfer RB Victor Dawson, RB Wenkers Wright and a lot of the impact players from last season are back for the Red Birds, and they sport what may be the best defensive line and LB corps the Aggies will have seen all year save for Washington.

Put the Rhody win behind you - now the real test starts.

Only domino that matters today is beating Rhode Island.
