All teams fans seem to talk like this when things are not going well.
UND is not a power running team, so the QB play is crucial. This season UND hasn't really run the ball consistantly, which probably is for several different reasons. In games when the QB is playing poorly UND can't score. UND's struggles on offense almost all seems to be directly related to QB play. If the QB plays well UND will win, if he doesn't play well the UND defense has to completely shut the other team down in order to win, which hasn't happened in both losses this season.
A team like UNO can often get by without having good QB play, but UND's offense needs to have consistant play out of that position to win games.
A healthy Bowenkamp gives UND the best chance to win, but if he isn't completely healthy he doesn't and should not play.
