Longtime fan

Cole has been injured every year dating back to his high school years. Usually 2 -3 games. Hope he can make it back.

Wrong! It's should be pretty apparent that the D has always been there to bail out Rudy when he was busy on eBay or whatever else he is doing during the game. The D can't bail out the offense this year do to injuries. I guess all I'm saying is that it seems that Rudy is better on the World Wide Web then he is at that football thingy. Proof is very much alve

I can blame him for that...he said it, you didn't. I mentioned it earlier .....I've missed maybe 5 games in 25 years ..have been a fan ....always will be a fan. I will be at the next home game just like the last 25 years. Loud and proud.

Good....don't need you. Finding out who the real fans are. You are not one of them.

The D is way to small....how many times did mont st just fall forward for 3-4 or 5 yards. Way way to small. Frustrating to watch....I could only imagine how frustrating it is for Schmitty and bubba

Bubba and Schmitty are the answers for the program. Rudolph is very comparable to what comes out my dogs ass. The defense is absolutely decimated with injuries. UND relies on the ILB and NT to make the plays in a 3-4 base. UND has a 195lb walk on and a 200 converted OLB playing inside. Their hands are tied. It will be like this all year. Opposing teams will carve UND up the middle. Deion and Cole are out....both all Americans plus Evan. Just an unbelievable amount of injuries. Could UND run the style of offense that both USD and mont st run??? They use the time clock while actually gaining yards and scoring. Bubba failed big time at the end of the first half. Not sure UND sees .500 this year disappointing

Go smoke a cock.....you add nothing to the football forum.

Fans have every right to be angry at what happened to UND against USD and I would question those that are ok with it. That was a flat out embarrassment!! To say anything about being a bandwagoneer because a person is upset with what they witnessed ....complete bull#%^% !! As much of a fan as I am, I'm also their biggest critic. I've missed maybe 5 home games in the last 25 years....I have a right, on a UND forum site, to speak my displeasure when things were as bad as they were on Saturday. They have 8 games left......let's see who the real fans are.

....dangerous bet when your looking at Rudolph for help.

If only this team had an OC..... oh how I wish I was thinking ...since Rudolph burned izzys shirt and uses him 1-2% of the time ...I would like to see him burn greibels shirt and actually use him. Greibel is built to play immediately and truly is a dynamic player. Tough as nails. Would replace seibel with the dirty work. Prediction: D looks a hell of a lot better ....especially early ....Rudolphs game plan of 3 and outs tires the D....Mont st gains momentum late......UND survives.

50-50 call. He did unds "dirty" work...no one has replaced him with that. Studs dump down and over the middle route runner. But he also scared the hell out of me as a PR. Said a little prayer everytine the opposing team had to punt.

Yeah I'm talking tongue in cheek ...kinda. It's just that UND is decimated at ILB and he has the size, speed, smarts, first step twitch to play ILB. Probably lacks the aggressive nature to play D and obviously he hasn't practiced at ILB but if UND sustains anymore injuries...I wonder if he would be a candidate out of necessity. He is a great talent that rarely sees the field.

Since Rudolph forgot JJ is on the team , Schmitty should see if he wants to play some ILB. Big fast dude

Streveler was sliding??? He doesn't come across as one that slides. Looks to me he got tripped up and Tamas finished it

Any team can definitely be beat on any given day but jmu is a machine right now. Imo, it would take jmu to completely fail on all levels and the opposing team to be at the top of their game to beat them. Barring injury/injuries jmu breezes to their second consecutive championship. USD can compete with any other team.

haven't heard what kind of injury or to what extent they will miss but add: OT- stockwell- possibly the best OL and has many starts under his belt. CB- holm- fastest guy on the team and was coming on strong in the coverage dept *this has been just a brutal year that has targeted certain positions. How many guys are left in the next man up bullpen!?

Untouchable...no. Just not yet warranted.

Season is far from over...hope the fans realize that! The players need to regroup and forget Saturdays meltdown. (^%#! I'm still pissed!) Hoping for 11000-12000 Saturday to support the team. As always, I will lose my voice by halftime mont st brings a good team to the Al but UND is more then capable of beating them. They will not do what they did in vermillion. No way!

Everyone on that bus ride Saturday should deserves criticism.....although Santiago sounded like he was the only one with a care. Big difference between Schmitty and Rudolph. Schmitty is competent and knows his $#%^. UNDs D has been the backbone to UNDs success since the bubba hire. Not always perfect but incredibly improved since muss days. Injuries/defections at one position (ILB) have taken a massive toll this year. USD exposed that weakness. Rudolph on the other hand, is busy in the press box trying to catch Pokémons since his hire.

Mont st could have easily beaten SDSU last week. They definitely looked like a better team then sdsu. Maybe sdsu had a bad game? UND on the other hand....well....they were taken the woodshed by USD....no contest. Competitive teams that want to make a deep run in the playoffs don't lose 45-7....could of been worse if usd kept with their first half throttle. Mont st d is getting better. Stout front. Rudolph, as usual, will be out matched in this one. Mont st qb is the real deal (Seems like a reoccurring theme). He is in the same category as Huntley and streveler as a above ave athletic dual threat qb. Not quite to those two status....yet, nevertheless, very dangerous! UNDs ILB crew scare me. Young, inexperienced and LIGHT! This is the Ds weak spot....very prone to being run on. But...it is what it is and they need to play as "big" as they can from here on out, starting with the bobcats. Injuries have set up shop on the o line as well. What looked to be a good healthy group has lost 3 starters in two weeks. Playing inexperienced underclass men to begin conf play is not what the dr ordered. Rudolph has a hard enough time already understanding offensive flow, creativity, play selection...etc...that playing these young guys up front will only add more confusion to his page 1 playbook. If UND plays anywhere near what they did yesterday they will get rolled by mont st . Being it's at home, I don't see that happening. I'm with geaux on the "niceness" factor. I mentioned it to the group I was with vs misery st....it seems like they play to nice! Not asking for dirty or cheap, just a little emotion or spark, legal aggresion, namely on D. Tamas brings the "nasty" without a doubt and offensively....Brady. They play football the way it should be played Bubba better preach discipline....the first three games have been horribly undisciplined....and embarrassing!! Conference play starts this week, UND needs the fan support more then ever after yesterday's debacle....show up Saturday and be loud!!

How the $&@& does Brady only get 4 carries??? Did izzy play?? Did JJ play???

UNDs d will have issues stopping the run up the middle the remaining of the year. Injured personal adding up. Through 3 games they are giving up 5.0 yards/carry, 8 tds and 212 yards/game. Although...the big sky will make it a little easier....big sky doesn't have any "push" style offenses....just finesse, so UND could be a little better in that aspect the next 9 games.

Lol. Forum tough guy!

1-12 on 3rd down against SD!? Just wow.

Thinking the same thing. There injuries to the same positions....just very very unfortunate. Mentioned it before, but bubba just turned the corner on quality depth. This is just unattainable.
