Longtime fan

Very winnable game if UND plays up to par Even with 9 in the box und should be able to run on them. They have a stud longhorn transfer OLB that was the top LB in Texas coming out of high school. He might cause some issues ..........nevertheless....Rudy is content to get back into his comfort zone using page one and only page one of his playbook for this game. Will und have to play catch up ball?....and if so, can they keep up? sam will pass all over the field on und home cookin in favor of Sam UNDs D needs be to in Sams QB face all day long. Even if und wins the TOP by 20 mins, Sam needs only 2 mins to score. Should be an interesting game

I wouldn’t argue that. But if they were to be sent to the offensive side then their talents are wasted....just like the rest of the offense

While I agree with you....it’s a laughable point. This regime does not adjust.

Frustrating as hell. There is talent there ..it’s just being thrown to the wayside

Explain professor

Und will go no where with this %#^£*^ digit as an OC. He has had 5 YEARS to make some resemblance of an offense and has failed miserably. Half a decade and the same crap results. The D looks to be very capable. They can only be on the field so long before tiring. My hat goes off to them. As much as I love bubba he is walking a fine line. First, he’s ok with Rudy being here????? Cannot understand that. Second ...he needs to coach to win games ....not to try and keep it close. Wrong mentality Special teams was my main concern entering the season . They will be a hit and miss all year. Way to young. Leach is playing scared and unsure. He needs to hit the reset button in his head immediately.

They’ve only had 5 years to perfect it.

My #1 concern this year was ST. Way to “green”.

Exactly. Keep it close is the name of the game and ride the coattails of the D.

And Rudy is tapping himself on the shoulder telling the guys he’s keeping it close.......

Still glad he gave a shot. Shows the fans that at least he’s making an attempt to win it.

The D has been on the field to much and the Washington O is starting to pick it apart as they see what hater going against to go along with a tiring D.

If he shows no confidence in his players ....think what they must feel like.

Bubba take a risk sometime or could it be that maybe he has zero faith in Rudy ? Play. To . Win !

I agree. He is so conservative....plays to keep it “close”. PLAY TO WIN DAMNIT!!!!

The D is going to start to tire. Been on the field to long already.

Offense is in for a long day.

One big play let up by the D and a short field Td. Love the passion and fight.

Washington settling in now.

Shocker.

D sounds ready!

Game day!! As much as I think they have 0% chance of winning .....I want to see 100 % effort and no quit from the young men. Limit mistakes and no injuries.

Washington is a whole different animal then any other team that und has played....and this week they come with bad intentions. It’s their home opener and their first game after their title hopes came crashing down momentarily with a narrow loss to a top 10 team. They need to win every game from here on out and it doesn’t hurt to show the committee some eye popping scores.....and und is up. They have a top 10 D with experience and depth everywhere. They have a QB that has so far thrown for over 9000 yards, rb that has run for over 4500 yards and 45 tds so far, great TE and a massive great o line (All-Amer OT 6’8” 340). I have a feeling they will show no mercy. They just don’t want to win, but want to win impressively .....taking out their auburn loss the week before on und....giving their fans a show. This is the one game I won’t predict a score

“ I want to talk about our opponent.....they are bigger, faster, stronger, more experienced and on paper they are just better! And they know it too. I want to tell you something they don’t know ....they don’t know your heart. We do! We’ve seen it ....you’ve shown exactly who you are in here (heart). When you take that field .......you have to lay that heart on the line men. From the souls of your feet , with every ounce of blood that you got in your body.....lay it on the line until the final whistle blows ! And if you do that ....you cannot lose. We may be behind on the scoreboard at the end of the game but if you play like that.....we cannot be defeated.”

32 belly option .....on two.
