Jackson was on a podcast yesterday. Chase as of Sunday (?), was not medically cleared. If he does play, how close to 100% would he be?

Bizarre. I didn't see originally the "If it was announced today", which would change things. Win and they are definitely in the Top 16. You aren't going to be in the Top 10 in the Sagarin, Top 15 in both polls (I'm assuming they'd move up in the coach's poll) and not be left outside the seeding. Just win!

Let's get dramatic, what's on the table. Playoffs: Win and you're in. Loser out. 8-4 record vs 7-5: There's only so many games. 8-4 is a positive step no doubt, 7-5 is more of the same Let's go! Chance to finish the regular season with at 8-4 and a Top 15 season. Also, can be the team that prevents SDSU from making the playoffs. I have this theory with these programs that after last off-season there was a great reset. Can UND overtake SDSU? Just win, but also, get Jerry back on track. Hoping to feel good about this program a week from now heading into the playoffs.

This is how I see it. A 5 loss MVFC team won’t get in over a 4 loss Big Sky team. Loser out game next weekend! I love it.

Need to find someway to get the offense back on track. Another weekend where this team gets down to the goal line and ends with no points. Just crazy.

Bubba ball 2.0. This is so pathetic

One half for the season. Just win.

Way more worried about the OC’s play calling than QB play. He is so lost.

Defense has not been good. They cannot get off the field. Offense has the Kaminski / Freuchte combo, so this is going as expected.

Most years, I'd agree, but off this year's team, who? Outside of the Seniors, Reschny is the only potential early signee (imo). It would say it's rare for FR to leave because of playing time, but really, with Zakreski's injury, everyone is playing (outside of Young (SR) and Andrew (15th F). There's only real one guy who's a risk to transfer. In regard to Schultz, the only logical scenario is Andrew transfers and Schultz becomes 15th F. Ideally, you have 1F, 1D spot open going into the off-season for CHL or transfer portal type of guy.

Should have read the article! I assumed they’d fly out the night of the 31st / 1st. Changes things.

I bet the Spengler Cup guys play that weekend. Unless there's serious travel delays.

IMO, way more good news than bad in that article. Tough to lose Bluiett for the year, but that was expected. Does sound like a lot of guys getting close. Mohr being the biggest surprise to me.

I would think so if UND finishes alone in 2nd place in the conference at 8-4. Using that logic, we want SIU and SDSU to win next week.

We want SDSU to beat ISU-R, correct? How about USD vs SIU? Understood that UND needs to win their next two, but any other results we are cheering for next weekend?

Playoff mode. Win big, get Jerry his confidence back.

Agreed. Huge difference between 8-4 & 7-5. They need to beat SDSU. Where frustration has fully kicked in for me, is we’re back to this embarrassing spin that took place under Bubba as to why their record isn’t as bad as it looks. Yes, I know they are 6-4, but it’s not that bad. Good news. Season is far from over. Playoff mode. Win your last two and a few playoff games and we’re all feeling good again going into the offseason.

@UND-FB-FAN help me feel better about Jerry & the OC.

Hoping. They need to win one of these.

Understatement. The more things change, the more they stay the same. It’s so frustrating.

They’ll lose to SDSU. Jerry is broken and you have the worst OC in FCS. Bad combo.

Get an OC and a QB and UND would have something

We'll see, last week's disastrous performance, could be the best thing for this week. Here's what I know. UND has a good defensive team, period. Solid offensively and Jerry is still growing. I genuinely mean this; I couldn't be happier with where this new era is on November 3rd of 2025. Seed is still very much possible. NDSU is beatable, but it'll take a clean game from the offense and ST's. Here's the thing, a team doesn't have "it" until it does. Why not this week?

Payton is just way too good. That’ll be the difference. I think Jerry is a good QB, will be a great QB, but he’s not there yet. But, crazy things can happen at the Alerus.

This loss was unlike the other two.
