This season is OVER, I'd be in blow it up mode. I realize it's because of injuries, but stick with the OL of FR, FR, SO, JR, SO. Get guys valuable snaps that will return, with injuries this year, they have no shot. Don't think about pulling the RS of Larson. This program will look like they did during the Mussman years, but although the record will be the same, we know where they can be. I'll look for improvement from guys that will return, the future is still bright, just not this year.

Touchdown Bobcats!

Does it really matter? Loss of 5 on 1st down, gain of 5, it'll end up the same way.

PATHETIC

Nice stop!

I've never seen a worse feed that's not online.

There's a 0% chance they'll ever stop a team on less than 3rd and 3

There is protection, Studsrud can't hit anyone.

Reyes out, perfect.

BCHL Stats: Blaisdell '01 (F): 1-3-4 5GP (3rd on his team in scoring as the only '01, other forwards are '97-'99) Keane '97 (F): 0-3-3 3GP Tychonick '00 (D): 1-3-4 3GP Reid '01 (D): 0-2-2 3GP Bowen '02 (F): 0-0-0 1GP Scheel '99 (G): 2-0-0 1.20 GAA .961 SV% As early as it is, you couldn't really ask for better starts for the BCHL recruits. Blaisdell is definitely one to keep an eye on, had a great Development camp for Canada, solid start as an underager to his junior career, I believe he'd be a junior in HS. Reid with a late 01' DOB, is just going to turn 16, so I think that'd put him as a Sophomore.

Just win.

There's no doubt there was an overreaction, but what I took an exception to was your "bandwagon" comment. Was there anybody you can point to that said they were done with the program after the game? If not, what are you talking about? Difference between overreaction and frustration and quitting on the team.

I'd agree with that, but I don't think there was any of that in the predictions thread or do I think that's what the post I responded too was talking about. It's just extremely frustrating when you are trying to be objective, you get basically called out for not being a fan. Doesn't really matter, I truly hope they prove me wrong this week!

Yikes, lets turn on that brain of yours. There's genuine concerns after last weekend, even if there's not, if you predict that UND will lose, that means you're "off the bandwagon"?

The only outcome I couldn't imagine is a run away win by UND. Everything else is on the table. MSU - 35 UND - 17

Totally forgot about Montana State coming off a bye week, I don't think anything fires me up as much as for the 2nd year in a row UND not having a bye until the last week of the year. How many times this year will UND play a team coming off a bye week? The most ludicrous thing that'll ever happen to the UND program.

What's everyone's thoughts on this? I have mixed feelings, I've been in the camp that if he can't go against USD, then RS him. After that debacle though, I'm switching my thought process a little and my decision would rest on 2 things (1) If they beat Montana State this weekend and he would be 100% against Davis (2) Would Rodgers be able to return sometime this year. We are all aware how big of trouble they are at the ILB position, but if they can't beat Montana State, then I'd say it wouldn't be worth it to burn his RS, when they most likely aren't making the playoffs anyway.

I do agree with everything you said, but right now I find it hard to practice what I've preached, which was along the lines of what you said. I just can't picture UND winning against anybody right now. Montana State with more points than UND.

Tychonick is 17 currently and turns 18 in March, based strictly on his age, he'd be a HS senior.

Stockwell are questionable for the Montana State game. Fullback Kyle Norberg, who was hurt in Week 1, and linebacker Noah Larson, who was hurt in pre-fall camp, are also questionable. Deion Harris, Andre Randolph, Demon Taylor, Cam Hunt and Donnell Rodgers are out." I would put the Holm, Cox, Stockwell being questionable as a big win. Even if they can't go this weekend, none of them sound like long term. Dissapointed with Larson news.

Week of 9/18 - FCS STATS - 17 FCS COACHES - 19

Good news is UND is still in the drivers seat, being ranked #19 right now, I think 7-4 gets them into the playoffs. Preseason polls matter A LOT in Football, as it makes it much easier on teams ranked higher to begin the season. Obviously you still have to win games, but UND isn't in a bad spot right now. You won't drop with a win, so who cares about style points, just win!

Jost / Boeser are amazing players that will be great in the NHL, but you also have to remember that between injuries & youth, neither made it to 40 points last year. I don't think it'll be as tough to replace that production as some.

https://millersports.areavoices.com/2017/09/17/und-usd-postgame-everybody-ok/ "I think the biggest takeaway from Saturday against USD, though, might be an alarming reminder of how far UND needs to go to be ready for the Missouri Valley Football Conference in 2020." This sentiment is going to drive me crazy. UND played possibly the worst game they could have played, period. I don't really know what to say.

Not until 2020, but they need to improve regardless. UND was able to move the ball in the Big Sky last year with what was basically the same O-Line. With injuries, we'll be very young for the next few weeks, so they may take time to gel.
