Longtime fan

I hear yeah. UND is not like every other big sky team.....bubba prides himself on D , ball control and winning in the trenches. Not always pretty but more often than not it gets the W......16-6 the last two seasons. Our style of play is built for the post season, and NOW is the time that UND needs to make a statement and show the fcs world we belong. We've perked some ears already by the amount of smack talk that is on forums and I'm loving it!!!! Keep talking!

Midnight friday

Hard to believe that Richmond has put 18 players on IR. Considering that there is 22 starters between the D and O....just wow! Almost an entire new team from their first game of the season....just crazy. This is obviously the most talented team UND will have played all year. It's big boy ball now...no easy outs and Richmond brings in a talented athletic battle tested team and a fantastic coaching crew. Playing in the caa they see great teams every Saturday and bringing anything less than their A game for UND, they won't be leaving the AL with a W. Cant afford those first half flounders.....need a complete game Keys to victory: (nearly everything) 1. Attack their newbie qb!! Talented young man but need pressure from every angle. Need to contain his running abilities as he looks to be very athletic and elusive. Our olb are basically converted safeties that are not big but bring the athletiicsm to the edge. The caa has massive dudes in the trenches, I feel this is our best opportunity to exploit their offense is with quickness and aggressiveness on the edge. 2. Need to shut down their running game. Obviously this is what UND is known for and I feel UND will do an admiral job for the most part, but to make them one dimensional and have them rely on newbie to beat us gives us the best chance. 3. What effects will three weeks off have? Hopefully getting healthy is the answer rather than being rusty. Our offense had injuries everywhere the last three weeks of the season. If Luke Stanley is back, this would be massive. Sure handed but more importantly, he is a tremendous downfield blocker, hope he is healthy. 4. Richmond is fantastic against the pass. Well our mojo is running. If our guys up front are healed up, I like our chances to run effectively with Brady and Santiago. I believe if und rushes for around 200-250 yards, they are victorious. 5. 12th man. We need the 12th man to step up. Against n zona, when the crowd was "lit" n zona had troubles. Being contained, Dome noise is amplified and annoying, we need to be loud !! 6. This is UNDs first postseason game.....it's a different animal than regular season. UND can not afford to come out flat,scared, etc.....Richmond has been here before and knows what it takes. Confidence, confidence,confidence!!! 7. Most importantly......win the TO game. Cant wait for Saturday!!!

Lol is right. They have been playing terrible recently.....today was no different. Didn't surprise me. Weber was the last team in and cal-poly was last 4 in. Weak bubble. C ark did not have one top 50 Sagarin win all year or againsf a playoff team all year until today. Beat Illinois st

Attendance at today's games were horrible. The two that stand out to me were Youngstown -season ave 14500. 5000 today New Hampshire- season ave 11300. 2200 today.

San Diego takes the lead 21-14.....Cal poly don't deserve to win. San Diego is winning/ dominating every aspect.

If not for such a weak bubble this year Weber wouldn't have been in. Weber had 30 yards less of offense against chatty than bama did last week. Five TOs and two return for tds do not help.

cal poly down 0-14 they have looked like crap the last 5 weeks. 3-2 with narrow wins over sac st and UC-Davis. Now this.

Nova is going to give sdsu all they can handle. Nova's d is legit and #92 for them is a Monster!!......6'7" 300 de. The caa teams are very battle tested. All three caa teams that played today exploited their opponents.

That would be great as UND is #109 out of #122 in passing yards allowed. UND makes up for the yards with INTs. Looking for at least 3 INTs next week.

CAA is dominating today.

Absolutely....12th man, to go along with a deep healthy aggressive d!!!!

Richmond is a really good team regardless of injuries. Semis last year, ranked #1 for numerous weeks this year, replaced an all American qb with a three star recruit, big nasty d line and great coaching. UND will have its hands full. UND wins a nai biter in its first d1 playoff game.

True. Lualetta, barring he heels up in time, will be the starting qb next year and then redshirt Johnson next year would make sense.

Sounds like Richmond will be burning a shirt today....6'0" 195 qb. Three star recruit out of Atlanta. Sounds like a phenomenal athlete and has been practicing with the scout team all year. Had an offer from Georgia tech. Very unfortunate that they have to pull a shirt this late but under the circumstances they have, you do what you need to do to keep moving on. Fwiw, Richmond has 8 qbs on their roster!!!!...wow!

I'm hoping next week will be a big week for ticket sales. Turkey day is over! As someone has mentioned earlier, I expect the NYC travelers to strip at most 1000 in attendance. We can make that up with more students....right!?

Thanks for the heads up.....wow, he is one exposlive dude! Very fun to watch. He plays like every play is his last....100% go and agressive ...absolutely love it! As deep as we are at that position, wonder about the possiblity of his shirt being pulled? Doubt he would but there's no denying he is definitely a very talented individual

All home teams except charleston southern

Congrats bubba!!!!! Thank you for making UND football relevant and fun again.

Very disappointing.... I expected more at this time. There has to be more than 1300 season holders?....right? 600 tickets sold for the students and 200 hundred of those havent even been picked up.... The game isn't for 11 more days with thanksgiving sandwiched in between and it's only been two days of sales....but this definitely feels like a kick in the groin to the football program. Let's hope that the majority of sales will come next week.... No reason for 10000 or less!!

That's what it looks like from how UND football twitter has been reporting it since yesterday.

Alex reed is special teams gold!!!

Great news!!! 3 of the 4 young men in the secondary recognized.....love it!!

This is the part that has me ramped up.......we don't lose to much this year. There is a ton of talented sophomores and Freshmen currently playing in the two deep to go along with a fantastic ( not-yet-done ) recruiting class coming in for next year!!! Exciting times.

Just got my four tickets. Couple people at work that haven't been to a football game in years mentioned that they are going. Of course Ive been hyping this team all year.....they're finally listening cant wait for dec 3rd!!!!!!
