New (crappier) coach.. .full of injuries...on the road vs a top 10 (UND). If UND losses this game...they improved their "3 season rolling average".....maybe....barely....

You wanna see mediocrity on display? Look no further than UND Hockey! They have the resources and fans of NDSU Football but win the same amount of games as USD football. Fire a coach? Hire his current assistant! Genius move! *facepalm* UND Hockey: underperforming since 1999.

The Bison recently had a close scare with a crappy team too at halftime? It happens. SDSU at home should get the Boyz pumped. And a playoff game afterwards. Schmidt so far seems to be able to "match the intensity of the game" aka "get pumped for big games (rivals/FBS....road games)"

Or the reply could be (was close) "whelp....I guess this team is almost identical to last year." (Which I never predicted it was...but pointed out the season trends early on were too early to guage real perspective.")

"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."

I see UND winning their next three games.

Same day as the Fire Jackson thread! 🙂

Wait I did see these plays but for NDSU. How awesome was the 4th and 1 Qb run by the Bison....the one where he faked up the middle to go on the outside! Awesome play call!

Bubba did adapt eventually. Iirc. When he started he was playing old school football. Guy was punting from the 40 yard line. Happy Schmidt is a "younger" hire. We've graduated from punting to going for it...but now the actual play calling of said play is questionable. Ha

Didn't we always get beat....and if I remember correctly it was what seemed to be to me "questionable play calling" a lot of times. Guess it comes with being a UND Football fan.

Remember that time we outbid the other to host a playoff game. Yet they decided to give it to the other team!

One man's current prediction.

I see the Jackrabbits have lost three in a row including one to Indiana State. This game looks very winnable. Without knowing more about their QB situation.

Oh no you didnt!

Whatever happened to all those plays we were supposedly saving for big games like NDSU?! I saw...run the same play on 4th and 1 that we previously did the same game!

(Warning: I should know better. But im about to defend UND again...not tearing down this years team but proping up other teams)..... Ok now do NDSU vs UND Bubba Ball from two years ago. If we're honest with ourselves, if they lose to SDSU, this year looks like almost like the last 2 out of 3 seasons of Bubba Ball (of course last year not withstanding.) The key difference is yet to be determined: ability to win playoff games.

UND in a weird spot @ 7- 5. Like you haven't beat any top tier teams, but all your losses are to top tier teams.

Gotta win this game that game. Maybe maybe not make the playoffs. Feels like every UND Football season.

Now its more important UND beats SDSU.

Wish I was in your section. I had to stand the entire game. But me old now. Cant yell. Had to save voice for post game party.

I also pointed out the aspect of how it was a positive and negative to have 2 "easy road games" and 2 "tough home games." That USD game at home would likely sit UND at 2-1. Instead of a closer loss to NDSU at home.

Speaking of... I'm too lazy to look. SDSU was without their #1 QB during their NDSU game? He'll probably be back vs UND?

Yup. That's why earlier in the season i picked out four key games to watch.... Currently 1-2.

Kudos on the kickoff reverse. Nice play call. Just bad execution. Boyz could have had some nice momentum there. And the coaches said "We need some momentum." They did their part.

The USD game stung more.
