If a QB doesn’t “have a very short memory” he will struggle. Schuster won’t win games for us but he hadn’t been losing games. The 4th down call was long past and we are moving the ball deep in their territory. Everything in the minds of players needs to be do their assignment and get the first down. No excuses. 

I think he meant that Tommy may not have felt the need to try to force a ball down field if we were still ahead. Not that he was still thinking about the punt and that caused the poor decision.

My two biggest keys to the season will be:  1. Does the OL play decent (7 on a 1-10 scale)  2. Positive turnover margin like last year.   If those two things happen I think we'll have a good season.  DL is a little bit of a concern but I think we'll have more size and depth than last year so I think they'll be at least as good if not better than last year.  

I agree. I also worry about the big bombs we gave up in the spring. I remember when Bubba first came he would count the big plays(+25yds I think) and comment on how he felt we did that day. It always seemed front and center to our success. I hope that continues and hope getting beat over the top got a lot of attention this off-season because good QBs will make you pay.

Yea a pioneer team yet we watched kett struggle to even produce 1st downs against them. The offense went stagnant with him at the reigns just like we saw all 2nd half of last season. 

While I don't completely disagree with this, there were a few wide open drops on 3rd downs that would have been big hitters. They reel those catches in, Kett would have been 21-25 with close to 200 yards (ended 19-25 w/ 152). And we likely have at least one more TD. I would take that for 1/2 a game of football. I feel for the kid.

At what point did this thread become a debate for Bison's bang for buck spending budget or story time about the last time you attended a game in stinking Iowa? Did you go to a corn maze too?? How many pit stops? Stop wasting our time please.

Can we please get back to UND football and how we will be this year?

Sorry. I wasn't sure how to reference UND-1 and Oxbow's conversation. Wasn't talking about you.

Also, thanks for embracing a newbie. Real class act.

I'm confused. A loss is never a good thing. Period.

I understand you are hoping that Stony Brook turns out to be good, so that loss doesn't look so bad. But a win over Stony Brook, regardless of whether they end up with a good record, is better than a loss to Stony Brook, regardless of their ending record. That is everyone else's argument.

As for last year. It wasn't the "good" loss that got the 6-5 team in, it was the "very bad" loss to a bad Idaho State that cost us way more. Not saying I agreed with that decision, just saying that loss was worth 2 losses in the committee's mind.
