Just can't seem to put it together this game, look good at times, but way too many possessions thrown away by turnovers.

Solid first two possessions

Yep

Crandell has been an absolute liability.

Here's my problem, I'm not saying they should go 50/50 against power conference teams, but you'd think once in program history they could pull one out. Jones could coach for 100 years and they'd never win one. Another semifinal exit in the Big Sky tourney and an RPI in the 200s, sound good?

Pathetic

*Was a competitive game

Competitive game, difference is 3 point shooting.

New details is base of $185K, plus $10K raise each year.

Using the numbers from the SFI, who had him at 150, 185 is definitely a nice little bump. Now he has a higher base than Montana's head coach and only $5,000 less than SDSU's. I would say his salary went from low to respectable when being compared to his peers. https://siouxfb.areavoices.com/2016/12/13/the-fcs-coaching-salary-market/

Great news! "The contract extension and salary increase for Schweigert also includes a salary pool increase for his assistant coaches, which is in keeping with President Mark Kennedy's statements this fall that UND would invest in championship teams."

I'm sure it's a little bit of both. It appears he was a pretty good FCS recruit given he originally was going to walk on to a P5 school and then went to EWU. *After reading Tom's article it appears the injury his Senior year hurt his recruiting. This would be my guess as well. It's important when you look at EWU's QB depth chart that it's very young. Based off reading their roster there were 3 players going for the starting job at camp, the returning starter (SR) and two Sophomores (one being Gubrud). That's a tough depth chart to crack. Can't wait for Spring Ball, we need him to be the solid #2 we haven't had the last couple of years. I did like his scrambling ability I saw on his Hudl film.

I've said it before and have kind of been a broken record, but I thought this was the most important piece to this years recruiting class (are a couple others that are close). It's great that (1) Able to enroll this January (2) Is a Sophomore. Looks to have a good arm and ok wheels. Is it fair to assume that the coaches think this guy will be the solid #2 going into next year?

From Tom Miller: "There are some strong reports on the redshirting freshmen hogs, especially guard Ryan Tobin, tackle Noah Mortel and center/guard Nathan Nguon"

'14 HS graduate, looks like he was on the Sac State '15 roster, where he most likely was a RS. If he can earn his was on the 2-deep chart this would be a very nice pick up. http://www.hornetsports.com/sports/fball/2014-15/bios/stewart_tamas_ex63

Agreed. Each year it's the same story in FBS and FCS, the high powered throwing offenses can look really good in the regular season, but come playoffs, it's the team that runs the ball and plays defense that comes out on top. Good news for us that Bubba knows this and that's his strategy, I just can't figure out why more teams don't do it in the Big Sky. When's the last time a high powered offense with a suspect defense has won it all?

50 yard run to start the drive, then a 20 yard TD pass on 3rd down

Never been so happy to be wrong!!!

Needed that 4th down stop.

One stop JMU!

One drive JMU!

He doesn't catch it if 44 doesn't knock it into him.

Offensively if I was JMU, I'd double whoever 68 is guarding with the RB and throw it every down.

Why go for this? Try to pin them down deep.

68 is a complete dumpster fire
