Central Scouting released their preliminary rankings. No recruits with A or B ratings. C Rating: Ausmus Dunbar James Livanavage Singleton Spicer I believe the only first year eligible recruit that is not listed is Panzer. Other notes committed recruits. 3 Drafted (Benoit, Blake, Bowen) 2 Not Drafted, 2nd Year eligible. (Hedquist, Strinden) 4 Not Eligible (Klee, Perron, Slipec, Strathmann)

One week at a time. Just win. Being a must win, this might sound a little backwards, but I do think you have to bet on who you have that's healthy. What I mean is sit anyone who has nagging injuries, 50/50, even 75/25 guys.

The more I thought about it, the more I like it. Love the 55/45 split. Maybe it says something about my personality, like the lower stakes.

Correct. Far from 20/20, I don’t want this to sound dramatic, but I do think it was the worse 3 v 3 decision I’ve ever seen. Only a few years of data, but it was that bad.

I think this offense up until 2nd Quarter (Q drive) has been unexplainably / explainably bad. Let me try to explain what I mean. I don't think they could have played any worse, but so much of it is very (or should be) fixable, explainable issues. Penalties (specifically offsides). Drops, @Oxbow6 is correct, they dropped 3 TD's over the past two games. It's not like they couldn't move the ball, just never with short fields. That's sort of the unexplainable, it's just these bizarre situational things. Not getting points the last two weekends after blocked punts setting them up. WR's don't drop a lot of balls, but when they do they are for what would be TD's. Offsides on 3rd and short, leading to 3rd and medium, then being a yard short. I do believe in the talent. I just think there's little things that have snowballed into what we've seen.

So was yesterday a case of SIU’s run stopping defense being awful? UND turning the corner O-Line wise? Starting w/ Q switch up, the offense looked good. Tommy too. Still important drops, situational struggles (ex: after blocked punt), but night and day better than what we’ve seen the past few years. Someone said it yesterday, but I also think the win out going into the SDSU game. Then it’s win and they are in for the playoffs.

Moore after a very rough start looked great the second half of the game. Big fan of Jamerniks game, what a jump from last year.

I just read 55 / 45. Getting to OT was huge.

Realizing the new OT rules helps with the sting, but still. I’ve watched a decent amount of 3v3 and Sandersons play was the most baffled I’ve been.

I cannot believe he did that. I can’t believe anyone would do that.

Why would Sanderson take that shot?

Only way for Bemidji to guarantee a win is to keep giving UND power plays.

Great effort, proud of this team.

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.
