It's interesting that Tennessee State plays NDSU in Fargo second game of next season

Why isn’t Hurst playing tonight?

Nice! Hope they have a uniform set to match. Not sure any current set would like quite right...

Not a great photoshop job, but happy to see him in a NORTH Dakota uniform, and I will say I think I kinda like that white facemask...

If the argument is that 5.25 yards per rush attempt is good, then wouldn't it need to be acknowledged that the "quirks" to our offense that you mentioned would be a contributing factor to that average? I don't disagree that there may have been times when a more straightforward playcall might have produced a better result. But, I don't know that we can completely oversimplify and expect to average 5.25 yards per attempt if we made dramatic changes to the offensive scheme (i.e. completely eliminate the "quirks" and "trick" plays). I think the plays within Danny's offense are good. But, probably room for improvement on the timing of certain playcalls and making sure the personnel involved are the right guys to execute the play being called. Of course, we're all frustrated with the record right now. But, I don't think things are as bad as it may seem at the moment...

How is a hamstring pull reflective of leadership? I can maybe hear what you're saying with Weah's situation, but we still don't have all the details, and one could also argue that holding him out of games is at least an attempt to teach...just my thoughts

And Team 6 beat Team 2 Everything points to the "quality" of your losses as being more important than your victories and the strength/quality of those victories. Is Team 6's win over Team 2 helping Team 2 more than it is Team 6??? It's a quality loss for Team 2, but "just" a win for Team 6...

Looking at STATS FCS poll and it appears losses must be analyzed as the differentiating factor, or at least carry more weight than wins. I removed team names, but kept them in order (#11, #12, #17, #18, #21, #22). Team 1 - 3 losses, 6 wins against teams with combined record 17-37 Team 2 - 3 losses, 6 wins against teams with combined record 18-37, beat Team 3 Team 3 - 3 losses, 5 wins (FCS) against teams with combined record 23-22 Team 4 - 3 losses, 6 wins against teams with combined record 19-34 Team 5 - 4 losses, 5 wins against teams with combined record 19-26 Team 6 - 3 losses, 5 wins against teams with combined record 21-23, beat Team 2 Seems UND has recently been a team that carries a couple quality wins to go along with a couple ugly losses so that probably impacts my opinion, but am wondering why it isn't a team's wins that are given more weight. To me, a team that has one or two bad performances but has beaten a handful of higher quality opponents deserves a higher ranking than one who can only seem to beat the lower quality teams.

Probably true. But I think a bigger concern could be EWU winning out to finish 7-5 with a win over us. Of course the ball is in our court to finish 8-3 and remove all concerns......

Heard it's a hamstring - not completely sure on the details (strain, tear, etc.)

I’m not nearly as qualified to comment on that as others on this board. But, we went from 2-2 to 3-2. To me that is the right direction, and for that I am happy.

Are you as disappointed with the win as your posts seems to indicate? Don’t want to jump to conclusions as I know what one reads isn’t always what the writer intended. But, you seem to be down after a win that has us headed in the right direction...

Not a true freshman - he was on the team last year

Has it been mentioned here that Clemson players tested positive for ostarine? https://www.usada.org/substance-profile-ostarine/

To Keep Avants out of foul trouble, I'm hoping we throw a combination of Rebraca, Walter, and maybe even Coudreau at Daum and make him earn all his points. Flatten and Jenkins are very good players too, so will take a good defensive effort on them as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see a fair amount of Igbanugo to help with that. I've been impressed with how different combinations of guys have given good minutes throughout this year. Stewart will need to play another solid game - make good decisions on scoring when it's there and setting guys up like he's been doing. Moody and/or Brown will need to get it going from outside to keep things open inside for Avants to do his thing and give Marlon some space to create. I agree with SW on it ending up at about a 15 point spread. But, maybe we can keep it lower scoring and be in it down the stretch.
