Td mont st......hold on....holding

Start of 4th qtr sdsu 24-21 over mont st. Mont st qb real impressive

SD handling BGSU ! Tough tough game next week.

You don't have to , I will. They gave up nearly 900 yards to Missouri last week. WAYYY to much no matter the opponent! I sat down by the Missouri st fans for 2qtrs, great people btw, and they laughed to a certain degree as I was calling a lot of the plays before they happened. Any decent D with a decent DC will hurt UND

Nice win. Crowd was big and quiet.. nice to see the attendance and people interest. UNDs D is one if the best in the fcs ....period!! Hope Donnells injury is not serious .....he is needed. The moose is a complete beast!! Knocks the $&@$ out of anyone near him!!! That's the way football is played!! Wanzek with a great game Rudolph is still a horse$&@$ play caller. Looks good against inferior opponents. UND should have scored 50-60 points today. Missouri st is on par with mayville st, defensively. He refuses to turn to page two in play book.

Gf herald mentioned it will be close to a sellout and have had a great number of student purchases!! Great to hear. Need the students to be loud and proud....but more importantly .....rip the bears bench. Aldo of note....was downtown last night and talk about great football promoting by UND and business's....painted windows of UND football everywhere!!! 12th man could/should be a huge distraction today .....difference maker!!! Let's bring it!!

Game day!! our group of 10-15 will roll in around noonish

It's incredibly impressive. Big sky defense maybe? Imagine if Rudolph opened his playbook instead of using it as a fly swatter! UND wouldn't have to come from behind nearly every game for a victory. They would/could have the defenses on their heels early and often and then power it down the throats of the opponent in the second half. Also, I hate worrying about Santiagos health taking a beating like he does. Let him work the edge with pitches or screens, early in the game, to have the opposing "bigs" chase him around....possibly tiring them. Powering it up the middle with a 175 pounder plays right into the hands of the 275 -300 men waiting for him. They don't have to move. Have them run!!

.....or lack of.

I agree with a lot of this....but you mentioned that he needs to up his performance and leadership. His leadership is top notch. Performance could use a little tweaking but it's definitely more a OC not using his skills properly. Would never consider him all American status but he has the tools to set UND up on a deep run in the playoffs if given the chance. Their is talent on the offense ...wished it would be used to their potential.

Predictability, predictibiliy, predictability !! The opposing Ds are setting 9 in the box , disguised or not, against UND on 1st and 2nd downs. They know what's coming! We all know what's coming!! Try and set up the rush game once by passing to start a game! Or maybe delays....pitches....screens....etc... and for the love of God....use the &$!&@%* TEs !!!! I love a run heavy offense but to watch Santiago plow his way into a waiting wall of giants on 1st and 2nd downs is frustrating. Would love to see Santiago go out wide . Doubt that will ever happen. UND pulled Izzys shirt to have him clap from the sidelines!? Frustrating. UND does have TEs! Look at last week what happens when you use them. The list goes on and on The opposing DCs job is made easy: 1st down - Santiago straight up the gut. 9 in the box 2nd down - Santiago off the tackles hip. 9 in the box 3rd down- obvious pass- the opposing defenae backs off a tad, knowing that UND passes on every 3rd down and more often then not brings a blitz package to disrupt Keaton. 4th down. Punt!! Repeat.

24-23 UND. Ive stated my concerns over Rudolph and the predictability. What's the chance that unds first play will be Santiago straight up the middle?

11,200 ....hoping for 12000+.

Jmu is head and shoulders better then any other fcs team currently. Can they be beaten?? Yes! But it would require a perfect game.

If I had any faith in Rudy, I would predict UND to win and win comfortably. As it is ......24-23 UND.

SD. Mizzou doesn't play D so Missouri st offense looked much better. Missouri st will have their hands full this weekend. If Rudolph goes to page 2 of his playbook UND will win

Drake is no good. SD is real good. They didn't lose much from last year and outside of a fbs loss, no one beat them by more then 10 points last year. It will be a tough game at their house. I have SD as the 4th maybe 3rd best team in the mvfc.

Exactly. 2-1 entering the big sky is a must!!

SD will be tough.....very tough.

Jmu will take the fcs championship again. Wow!!! They have the"it" factor! Way way better then any other fcs program......currently

Have to go with the real opponent. Playing the real opponent gives you the exposure( especially around nd, mn), great for recruiting and if you have a top 10 team(fcs) it's nice to see how you can compete. Also the fans get to experience a real stadium and real tailgating. Negatives would be , it's almost a guaranteed loss and the risk of injury to a "stud " player in a likely loss. Plain and simple ....if you want to be the best ....play the best.

They are fcs. They have like 5-6 wins in the last four years....bad!!

Mississippi st is fbs. They reside in the sec Unique question.
