You nailed it.
Its hard for a lot of teams to come back and win a road game being down.
This team has had little success the last few years (although a couple decent seasons - Big Sky Championship game), and it seems even littler success on the road (doing pretty good this year). So when I see them down at (say haltime or so) I know its a uphill battle and UND will more than likely not win that game as history points out.
I wasn't trying to imply they were going to give up.
(vs my informal observations of conference games in hockey and football on the road where I have more faith in their ability to have a come back from behind.)
