Siouxfan69 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I didn't have a chance to watch or listen to the game last night. I would like to know if uND threw off play action on first down at any time during the game.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did a pa pass on 3rd and something like 15. Nobody bit on the fake though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it got to 28-10, we were in big trouble and everyone at the game, watching the game, and certainly playing/coaching knew it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pa pass would make sense there, not a horizontal run that seldom works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just making the point about calling offense from behind and knowing you can't stop other team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F'n Hawks Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I wonder how Rudys offense would be with a very good QB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND1983 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 How about the 3rd and 2 where we passed out of shotgun and got sacked? Probably had 250 rushing yards at that point and we were passing. Maybe to catch them off guard but still..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Hell, this should be titled "defense against Cal Davis" ... The defense was far worse than the offense last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxfan69 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 I asked the pa on 1st down question because I wanted to know if we would do the unexpected. It's a little like pitching to Joe Mauer. Everybody, including your gramma and dog, knows that Mauer rarely swings at the first pitch. The pitcher facing him knows that he can safely throw a meatball right down broadway and get an easy strike. Just like the Mauer example, everybody knows UND will run on first down. Throwing off of pa on 1st down, especially to start the game,.may cause a defense not to load up the box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That really fooled them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie82 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 In all of the negatives surrounding these losses it's noteworthy to point out that the ground game - obviously a key component to Bubba's offensive philosophy - got going against Davis on Saturday. Hopefully that continues going forward and keeps the defense off the field as long as possible. Also a shout out to Taubenheim who played well despite being injured.
