And I think the point a few others were trying to make is that we also played Kstate and Montana on the road, and had the hardest FCS schedule going into the year. I am with you that Valpo there isn't much excitement as a fan, as we should win by 3 scores or more. I have to admit I'm not pumped for the game, but having a game like this to get other players reps etc. and walk away with a win isn't all bad. I dont think the team or fans are going to think we have solved all of our problems even if we win 49-0. But hopefully they can still learn and improve from this game. Homecoming itself is always a fun atmosphere so hopefully will get a good crowd and entertaining high scoring game for UND fans to cheer about and enjoy.

I was only able to follow the game through the thread on here, wasn't able to watch h or listen to it. Definitely frustrating as we shoulda had this one. Understand the....nothings changed sentiment, but we are a lot better than last year. Herder put us at #8 on his ballot this week for a reason, we looked like the better team. D is definitely better, tackles well. So nice having speed at WR! And a QB with an arm and who can run. So frustrating that we could be 3-0, but lots of season left. Biggest disappointment is our inability to pound the rock. We have speed at WR, strong arm QB and who can run, but we are completely bottled up...up the middle and I have zero confidence in us picking up 2 yards on the ground when we need it running up the middle.

Not sure how we had such a strong running game up the middle last year, just disappeared this year and though OL would be better.

Not at the game but I have a mountain view too. Surprised we get recepti9n uo here. Although not good enough for me to get my ESPN watch to play or get it on radio. But am least able to follow on here. Sounds like a great throw by Jerry...Let's go!

We haven’t been able to run between the tackles all season yet, has been a concern for me since Kstate game

I haven't done score predictions recently, but gonna trust Schmidt and company and go 34-27 UND. If we dont have tons of turnovers or pick 6's against us or something like that think we can win. I was confident a few days ago.....but years of crapping the bed on the road is starting to creep into my head a little. Our toughness mentally seems so much better now though. Unfortunately I will be camping in mountains with no service so dont think I'll be able to watch or listen live.

This aged well. We definitely wrote it down and remember that you said it.

I think we somewhat took the crowd out of it a little at Kstate as their fans wanted to dominate us and they weren't, so I think they were a little frustrated. I don’t have much reason to believe Montana is any better than we are right now, they do have home field advantage though. Previously in these type of road games I would be worried and think everything needs to go exactly right for us to win. And half of me was just praying we didnt get an embarrassing beat down. Feels different under Schmidt so far, and I'm expecting we win if we play a fairly clean game. This is the game where I think we'll find out where we are really at. But I guarantee if we do win, many will just say Montana is overrated.

Isaac needs to figure out another wrinkle on that one misdirection play. Worked real well against Kansas State but once it was on film....PSU had it snuffed out...was like a 6 yard loss the one time. Maybe fake the misdirection and Jerry turns back and throws a screen back to the original direction the play was going. Now that Jerry has run a few times...they have to prepare....since he can and will run on some of those option plays. And that is exactly what we need, QB to have some success running it on the keeper.

They gonna crank some music inside during practice this week to try and prepare for noise at Montana?

There is not a game on the schedule that is not winnable. 11-1 should be the mindset. Let that failed last 2 minutes at KState drive them. LFG!

They already started to continue to run the clock a couple years ago to shorten the game. Yes blowouts like this can seem long. But I dont need college FB games to be shortened any further. Next weeks game should be good and be a 4 quarter game.

Start Seidl and feed him. Have a feeling he may not be here next year.....let him run wild while we've got him. He is the most talented back we've got. That said I do want to see Z in there more pounding it up the middle with some effectiveness.

Playing an inferior team, we better be able to run it down their throat....particular right up the middle. Would like to see a dose of Z getting 5 yards a crack up the middle. Get SS more touches, and Tai. Lets getting a groove and figure something more things out before heading to Montana. And no injuries!

Watched again, yeah it did come off and he put it back on quick. Don't think announcer said JTJ couldnt find his helmet though, or am I losing my mind?
