I've been digesting a lot of Boise State content this week. Potentially losing this game is a none-starter for them, but they seem to be pretty spit between needing style points and just winning. The most vocal radio personality is pretty adamant that this won't be close (20, 30, 40 point win). Fans and Media are one thing, but if any of this noise is seeping into the BSU psyche, I could really see UND pulling this one off. Jump on them early, keep it close, put doubt in their mind. This just feels different to me. I think UND can really do this.

Sounds like a fair statement to me.

Two guys that transferred in last year that are noticeably better this year are Buckner & Hembry.

Although frustrating to watch the opposing team play their 1st unit late in the 4th in a game they can’t win, playing up tempo. Incredibly valuable to the defensive depth. Valuable reps.

Some thoughts after two games. • Offensively, on par or slightly better than last year. Very balanced. • Defensively, feel improved. Need to get better @ tackling & 3rd and longs. • ST’s, big improvement from week 1 to 2. Not sure if it’s a strength, but feel better that it’s not a big weakness. So far so good. As always, things to work on, but I’m excited to see where this team can go.

UND opens as 20.5 pt favorites per 360.

Predictions I’ve seen mostly have UND by 14 to 17. Prove them right today.

If UND is a legitimate Top 15 in the country, this is a game they should win by two scores at home. Time will tell.

Final score was solid. Not sure what to make of this game.

He is so fast

Better by 53. Need someone to kick it out of the end zone every time.

Pull the first team offense. Try a new kicker.

Kickoff coverage has been awful. They need to try to kick it out of the end zone.

Bubba pleased with that first half? Wow

Like this post, well said.

Wow that was an awful half. Yuck.

That is a massive increase.

I brought this up already, but was it a Shaugabay type situation? By that I mean UND didn't offer by the time he committed to another school. I'll still stand by it, if UND offered Shaugabay, he would have committed.

That's a great schedule overall. BYE week following a trip to Fargo is huge.

I would be shocked if Zellers doesn't end up at UND.

Only a handful of singles left for either night.

100%. Not sure if that was a Shaugabay type of situation but felt UND was going to be a lock for him last year. He's really taken off too.

I did not read it that way.

Same. For state funding purposes of course, the total enrollment (credit hours?) is the most important number. I do also hope that UND is really making strides for their full-time, on campus numbers.
