Looking back this was a great season for the program! Many highs and lows but the highs outweigh the lows for sure. Excited for the fall and to be back to normal with full stadiums and TAILGATING!!!!! That said there are some thoughts on the game yesterday and the season as a whole the needs to be addressed this fall if UND wants to take the next step at beating the teams like JMU and NDSU. Geaux sioux pretty much said it all. What we knew before the JMU game was that they were gonna run the ball and we needed to stop it. That did not happen and it didn't seem like UND was prepared for it. This 3-4 defense works wonders at times (SIU & SDSU) but against great running game it just doesn't (NDSU games and JMU game). When Holinka was taking over I was hoping they were gonna go away with it and go with a 4-3. I maybe wrong but if that defense worked so good everyone would be using it. Im just not a believer in the 3-4 defense and I think that was a big part of the loss against JMU was not being able control the line of scrimmage.

Ryan Boehm, DL transfer from Cal Poly will play for coach Schmitt at Fresno State.

Ha. They sure were.

Except when they said UND looked like a bunch of tiny high school players

Couple things I noticed from watching highlights. QB- Tommy had a great game. No turnovers and no sacks with a couple touchdowns. What else can you ask for from the young man. RB- We saw more Gee then Skokna? Is he a little banged up? Seems like Danny has a lot of love for Gee but skokna has had the better year. Mitchell is going to have a bright future here if he stays healthy. From the few plays I saw his acceleration and speed are going to be dangerous. Happy he is here! WR- Nice to see Maag get a touchdown pass early. Wish Richter could have came down with that ball when he fumbled. Too bad for Bo with the injury. He will be missed but also will be back and have a great career at UND. OL- Best OL UND has ever seen. 1 sack so far this year and it was 1 yard away from even being a sack. Didn't even seem like UND was missing one of their best linemen on saturday. Defense was almost perfect on Saturday with 8 sacks, 1 INT and 185 yards of total offense. Seems they only time MSU was doing good was picking the zone apart at times. Basically when the QB wasn't getting pressured. Special Teams- Another great game for the special teams. Havn't been a fan of Kostitch for years but he sure has turned that group around. Still would like better kicking and punting. JMU is going to be a totally different opponent. Bubba and the staff need to come up with a near perfect game plan for this team. Stop their run game and get ours going and I think UND can win this game!

Like these highlights! Nice and long so you get more of the game.

See Hergel picked up an offer from Texas State.

Pretty much every Idaho QB has done that to UND. Are those numbers right for JJ? If so I am not to worried.

All MVFC Team 1st: Nguon and Ottis 2nd: Shuster, Holm, Krzanowski, Walezko, Skona, Maag and Tobin Ottis runner up OPOY Krzanowski runner up DPOY Shuster runner up FPOY & NPOY Great accomplishments for these guys! One thing I don't understand is how does Krzanoskit get runner up DPOY and not make 1st team???

Youngstown State vs #15 Missouri State Highlights | FCS 2021 Spring College Football Highlights - YouTube Some thoughts after watching MSU didn't score until a minute left in half against a 1-5 YSU team. Slow start just like UND usually has. YSU executed terribly on a trick play in the 4th. Were down 21-10 at that time. If Johnson starts he's going to be moving a lot in and out of the pocket. Designed runs and tuck and runs with him. UND needs to contain him and watch the play actions (two passing TD's were play action.)

Wow I didn't even realize it was him. Now the comments make sense.

According to their message board they don't seem to worried about this game. Corners are so good they won't need help. Fans on this site are in full meltdown over Hergal leaving. UND throws those "Silly" 3 yard routes that don't do much.

Should call one of the hotels across the road there and see what they say about tailgating?

It would make sense for the top 4 to get home field if they were on the list of sites. After that it must be bids? Even if the Bizun lose this weekend I can see them getting home games somehow. If they are not playing a seeded team.

Yeah after getting back from the dirty hippie manure pit in fargo.

Hurry up and try schedule Missouri State?!?

Hopefully that's all it is.

So just read one of McFeely's articles on twiiter (Yeah I know he's terrible). According to the MVFC associate commissioner the SDSU vs NDSU game will decide who gets the automatic qualifier. Even if NDSU were to lose which puts them at 2 loses they will still be in? If SDSU and UND win, SDSU will get the AQ even after UND beat them (dominated that game by the way). SDSU gets the edge if they were to beat NDSU this Saturday.

Lost a safety Zach Arnell i believe to a really bad cheap shot in that game.

Know Canady is out. Wonder who steps in and replaces him. But wondering about Morrison? He got injured in NDSU game right?

It shouldn't matter. But it obviously did. Tackling by the shoulders on a guy that big doesn't help much either.

Can't really answer the question about the D line. It was straight up bad how UND got pushed by the SU O line and coaches didn't change anything up. But a lot of it had to do with a 244 pound running back that no one knew was gonna start or even play in the game.

Yah I didn't put Mid TN St down because I didn't think he'd pick there. O well I guess, best of luck to the young man.

Looks like it’s between UND, Western Michigan, Sacramento State, Western Illinois and Austin Peavy.

So one more playoff spot opens up right? Just give it to UNI now or wait till they lose to SU and give it to them?!?
