Of we dont get in, I don't anyone will say we got screwed. However there are some people like Herder who do think we get in. That said, anytime we've been this far on the end of the bubble....its always popped. History tells us that will be the same again tomorrow

I'd love to get matched up with a Montana school in second round. Would give us a chance to completely reshape the season with a big upset. That would take the offense figuring things out, which doesn't seem like the OC is able of doing at this point. I don't want to be done with UND football before Thanksgiving again.

When I saw the formation for the first play in OT.....I was like....wtf are you kidding me....we are gonna run the RPO up the middle again with basically the same formation and play we've ran 25 times already today. Sure enough same damn play and we lose 4 yards. I like Fruechte generally speaking going into the year. Then we started off hot....9 different guys catching balls for the first 4-5 games. Then offense dropped off some.....I thought he had chance to redeem himself the last few games and into the playoffs. Well now because of him there likely are no playoffs. Feels like that is the only damn running play we have...RPO and hand off to SS or Jerry keeps it. Where is the mixing it up, TE over the middle etc. Also, how many times now in huge situations did we have a 3rd or 4th and medium....or short.....and we throw a 20 yard down the sidelines pass. I know there are other guys in the pattern so some of that is on Jerry making the decision what receiver to throw to. But my god as the OC since we've F'd it up so many times....you think he would tell him to go to intermediate guy first unless its totally not there. I wasn't as ready to get rid of Fruechte as much as some were 4-5 weeks ago....but think I've now seen enough. Oh ya as I probably seem like a broken record....1st and goal inside the 5...how many times have we not gotten a TD there...so frustrating.

And for the seniors, give them another game. I know I'll be watching and rooting hard if we get in. And yeah....house money....just go in guns blazing on offense for a change....got nothing to lose.

Absolutely he does. We only have 1 running play in our entire offense

How many times have I said it, first and goal from the 5 is our kryptonite, we can't get it done.....How many times....ugh.

Previously I would have been nervous as hell playing a talented mobile QB in a must win game. Don't want to jinx us, but we've done an amazing job against some really good dual threat QB's this year. Alerus Center magic....let's go!!

In the past we have gotten shafted, but ya if we lose Saturday and don't make it in......won't be getting shafted this time. If we lose its 50/50 at best that we get in.

Sounds good to me! Our teams mentally has to prepare and prep like they are playing against an SDSU type team from last year. I'm not sure if its because we were underdogs or what....but against K State and Montana.....and basically first half of the season we just seemed locked in from the first snap. That is what I want to see on Saturday, dialed in and ready to roll from the opening kickoff. Would like us to get our Mojo back on Saturday.

Nobody is proud of losing, but when records are the same and looking at body of work, the eye test etc.., they will compare USD getting throttled and beaten by NDSU by 38.....or UND leading the entire game except for the last 3 minutes against the hands down best team in FCS. I know Id much rather have a 5 point loss than a 38 point loss to the top team on my resume.

We should be able get it done at home. Similar could be said for SDSU though as far as fight in them. If they have their starting QB back, as poorly as the second half of the season has gone for them this is a playoff game and they can still make the playoffs with a win.....so if they have any fight....would think they would put up one. Need to jump on them early like we did against Youngstown and SIU, if so their will to fight wil be broken. They beat Montana State this year....kinda crazy how far they have dropped.

If we win this Saturday and USD is higher than us, that is a complete joke if you look at the body of work of the entire season.

There would probably be a 97% turnover rate in OC's every year if the fan bases had their way.

Between the crappy TV production and meager team performance, wasn't that fun today. We got rid of the SU loss hangover, and still got a win. Get back home and regroup and let's light up SDSU next week.....and sneak into a 7 seed.

Someone mentioned Jerry focusing in on one guy. I think it was the first 4 games or so......like 9 different people caught passes? Seems like we were really mixing it up when the offense was running well.
