Longtime fan

I would have to watch it again but I thought cole should have had the fullback as o brien had to contain the middle as either Rodgers or Bakker was on a blitz? I could be wrong. Maybe it was o briens man. Many beers by the point on Saturday.

Alex cloyd should be a massive difference maker from this point forward. If he brings the same intensity that he brought to practice he will be opening holes and hopefully catching many balls. Watching Mathewson the first three games he has missed a ton of blocks that resulted in either a sack or negative rush yards. With that massive bandage on his arm his receiving skills simply are not there. Alex be an upgrade. Time to use the TEs Rudolph ! He is my sleeper against mont st.

Hate writing this as cole is an absolute stud and a talent but he needs to tighten up his pass covering skills a tad. Had a int for a td=awsome, but had quite a few blown coverages in the sd game. Believe two tds were on him. Should be easily corrected in the film room.

SFI reported that greer didn't play, any idea what the injury is? D line injuries are adding up cieslak greer engwall Baker and kemuel left in fall camp quality depth coming into play.

I agree to a certain extent. But Rudolph calls the plays so i put 90% on him. When they stack 8 in the box and continues to send santiago up the middle he deserves the criticism. If the run was working that would be one thing but for the first 3 games it hasn't. The new inexperienced line can take blame but Rudolph needs to know how not to make is so predictable. How about using Studsrud strengths and roll him out, this is where is at his best. Do that on a first down as well, not only on 3rd. Studsrud is not a pocket qb. And use the damn TEs occasionally.

Mont st sounds improved on d, Rudolph cannot dig us hole early in this game. Road game, big sky opener and a chance to get to .500, we need to grab the lead and sustain drives. Mont st will be expecting run plays on 1st and 2nd downs and will have 8 men on the line, this is where Rudolph needs to break comfort zone. If Rudolph calls a different game and the execution is there I really like our chances. The d will be fine if they are given a chance to rest. Und 24- 17

Absolutely. He is a stud!! Noticed him in Bgsu game. First step is incredible, great instincts and more often then not he lays the wood . Always by the ball

Defending Unds offense will be your d's easist assignment all year and you couldn't get it done. We have a kindergartner calling the plays. #15 is big and tough but a flat out bad passer. I believe he fits your up tempo style and will win you games this year however. Was it you that mentioned he would run effortlessly thorough und? If so, what is your thought on this? Goid luck to usd the rest of the year

Real classy They might get their point across a little better if they protest at a march while holding up signs that read " sioux logos matter". At least they had some pride and left early

Agreed. I would also like to add that it is not a law/rule to be quiet on 1st and 2nd downs in the alerus. People are allowed to make noise on those downs as well

So one of the complaints or reasons from students is that they started 0-2 but easily could be 2-0 and HAD they started 2-0 would have the students been tearing the doors to get tickets and would they of been loud and crazy?? No. If they were 7-0 and top 5 team would it be better??? Doubt it. The team thrives off of the excitement of the crowd especially it's students. Us old people lose our voices in the first qtr, we need the young to help out. My throat still hurts

First, thanks for stopping by and giving us a little insight second, if you put 11 men up on our center you guys will be ok against our o. third, the d is Unds strength. D line is deep and talented and the corners are much improved.

I would like to clarify that USD has a terrible d. Brutal ! Worse then anything we will see in the big sky. They can slow down predictable teams that run up the #2 hole every play. Makes the DC look really good

And......the winner of the big sky ( S Utah) was given a 1500 mile flight to Texas as their prize. The committee has shown their "love" for the big sky. By beating the almighty mvfc teams, and the majority of them have been road trips for the big sky, it should be an indicating that the mvfc is ndsu and only ndsu. Uni is hyped to the max every year yet what have they done? They have never won a championship! Believed they played in 1. They are 1-2 and 0-2 vs big sky this year. Sdsu was dismantled by cal poly at home. So if you take out ndsu, the other teams are on par with the big sky and caa. Hope the commitee takes notice come playoff time

Hope this win was what the team needed to wake up on offense. Fwiw, Southern utah started last year 0-2 and won the big sky.

Adler was an absolute stud! Had they given him more a chance to prove it he would of been on some all American lists. Guy was incredibly built, hands of glue and an extremely hard worker. He is dearly missed.

Noticed that too. Just do your job without all the bravado. This team can't afford giving up 15 boneheaded plays

^^ absolutely !!! 100% agree I will scream this every week ........use your damn TEs!!!!!! very predicatable and very frustrating. Any DC should love going against us. Then when it's an obvious pass play on 3rd down we are in shotgun, they bring the house for either a sack or a run for your life situation for Keaton. Can we not pass on first downs?? Is this a rule of Randolph!? 98% of the time in the last three years it's a run on first down, the opposing teams have figured this out. I really feel that Keaton should sit the first qtr or more against mont st. He is just not tuned in. Maybe it would be better having him watch the game ffrom the sideline to see whst the d is bringing?? Idk. Thank god for Santiago's ability

We've discussed for months two major concerns: 1) O line. Most of us agreed it would take 3-4 games for this unit to gel and get to where they would be comfortable with all the line reads. There is talent here. They have not been getting a good push and Demon seems to be the main culprit. He is way to good and I expected more from him. I hope to see a change against mont st (game 4) that will get the momentum going forward. The loss of elijah is massive 2) cb or secondary. Much improved from last year. Love the way they are defending. Very thin in numbers however. If Deion and cole are to go down this unit will be hurting. Noticed arnell with a big gimp...hope he's ok. I really like Torrey, wish he would start opposite of Deion. I feel they are Unds best 2 cbs. Torrey is getting more comfortable by the week, definitely doesn't seem to be playing like a fresh. Needs to make the play and get back to next play......no stupid personal foul crap. Und finally got a "w" even though it wasn't pretty. I hope it's a momentum swing for the team and coaches. Und doesn't have a bye week this year to get that mid season heal up time so remaining healthy is very crucial.

Agreed on everything.

Usd wasn't necessarily that good up front. They had 11 in the box and und ran 40 consecutive plays up the middle. They were giving up 300 yrds per game and 7.1 ave the first two games. Unds play calling was horrific and made them look much much better

Sdsu is terrible defensively like usd. Uni is average. Ndsu will beat you in the last second. Whoopie.

Lol. Uni 0-2 vs the big fluff this year. Big fluff is weak per mvfc fans Ndsu carries that league.

Yeah I know

It was. But very quiet for that size. If the GF crowd knew to make noise other then 3rd down it would be great. The students were large in numbers and large in quiet.
