Simply saying this was never a winnable game. It’s ok. Hopefully we’ll see some positive signs they can take moving forward.

Yikes, bit of an overreaction. Borderline bizarre. You ok?

With those guys this game wouldn’t be winnable.

Hope they keep racking up those non-conference wins!

Yes, much appreciated!

Johnson has looked every bit of a true freshman. Taking his lumps now, will be fun to watch him progress.

It's crazy.

Good call, so they at least have won one. Nice last two minutes of the period as well.

Has UND won a face off this game? Genuine question.

Embarrassing for both teams.

Schmaltz was the only forward that passed the eye test that period.

That was really bad.

I was more concentrating on road games. Outside of NDSU*, I think they'd have a fighting chance to win against anyone else at home. If this game was being played in Grand Forks, I would think they'd have a shot. On the road, not so much. *Obviously proved this Fall, even NDSU at home can be a contest.

13. He wasn’t bad last weekend, but he’d be my guess.

Would it? The first part, definitely, but I can't recall too many what I would call "surprise" wins. I guess Wyoming was to me. @ SHSU maybe. I can't think of any others. Certainly nothing like this weekend.

Interested to see the line chart with Hain's return.

I'm coming at this as a realist. This is a game that UND will not win. It's not happening. I'm viewing this game from a different point of view than I would usually. I'm looking for passion, defense to continue to play well. Offensively, take that step forward, start heading in the right direction, give the fans hope for future games.

Do we think there's any chance Quincy starts seeing a bigger role? I'm not saying the offensive struggles are all on Tommy, but his inability to make anything happen if his #1 target isn't open is concerning to say the least. I'm also convinced that this offense is playing as bad as they possible can. Football 101, sell sabotaging mistakes. Regardless, UND has lost their last two games by 6 and 7 points with an offense that has scored one TD each game. Would a Quincy lead team be doing worse? It's a fair question.

Berry and his staff have quietly put together one impressive commitment group. 15 strong right now, I don't see a lot of fat on that list. Objectively, there would only be a handful of programs that you would "trade" with. I'll start compiling stats in a few weeks as I like to see a bigger body of work, but some very good starts early for this group.

You can buy just for October though, correct? You aren't locked into a year are you? I would be interested in splitting for the month with others.

I would take it. Niagara was a must sweep. Although not at that level, looking at the non-conference schedule, splits could be on the horizon (and be solid results) for a few of those weekends. I would take a win and a tie, two wins would go such a long ways and almost give yourself a little breathing room non-conference. Start fast on Friday.

No words. Best if I log off for the day.

Speaking of Special Teams, Peterson has been solid this Fall, no? Up until this point in his career I've always felt UND had no matter who they were playing the worse punter, but so far this Fall I've been pretty impressed. Just me or have others seen a real improvement in Peterson?

Hit the reset, good vibes. A must win too. Hawks 27 Yotes 20
