Midwestern Hawk

Just watched first half on ESPN+. The offense is terrible, especially after ziebarth went down....a thousand ways to throw a swing pass. Tommy looks like a deer in the headlights.

Yep. Its just who we are. Playing anyone other than a cupcake on the road is an instant L for Bubba. Just can't get over the "hump". We did get the Bison monkey off our back and was really hoping last weeks win would give us some juice and get us over the hump. I was at a wedding so I could not watch the game other than on my phone.

Sucks, but I guess now we know. Win all the games we should(7-4) and we will be one and done in the playoffs.

I was thinking the same thing. I guess we now know. Looks like all the stars were lined up for us last week, I really wish it wasn't so.

I had hope after last week, because Bubba broke a tendency by beating NDSU. The follow up disaster @UNi was certainly back to the decade of a Bubba ball at UND.

This! Follow up last Saturday with a win! Lets Go Hawks!

HUGE win yesterday. What happens next Saturday in Cedar Falls will tell us a bunch about what happened yesterday and the rest of the season.

McFeeley is correct in everything he said. The Bison cam to Grand Forks with some holes in the proverbial ship. Our boys ripped open the holes and made some new ones. Now the Bison dynasty is taking on water and is finished. I will have to mail Entz a Rocky Hager crying towel… Go Hawks!

Re-sign Entz to a decade long contract today!

Hell yes!

Matt Entz has stopped thinking about the game and is now trying to figure out how much of his contract is guaranteed.

Yes! Siegel!

Great play call.

They weren’t running a play.

End of 1….I’m feeling it! Entz may have already messed his pants! F@ck ‘em Hawks!!!!!

Huge BINGO.

I don't disagree entirely, but a coaches job is to make the sum of the parts greater than the individuals. If Saban was the coach of the Hawks since June 1, the Hawks would have beaten SDSU, especially coming out of a bye week. Within reason, coaching is far more important in football than the players...again within reason. I suppose next you will tell me that USD beat NDSU because they now have better players then the BISON...

I hope this comment was a massive exaggeration. You are basically stating that coaching doesn't matter and that Bubba is no different than Saban.

Not the players that win games...

Which is one of the reasons we struggle against good teams. Two shifts and then motion to throw a pass to a receiver that is 2 yards down field...

NO. I am saying we better stop the run...

100%. Stop the run or we will need to score 35 to win.

Lots of good points as usual. My over arching point on Tommy and this offense is Tommy's lack of running when combined with a serious lack of downfield throwing attempts, makes our offense much easier to defend than an offense where the QB is a threat to run and make throws down the field. We can argue about the causes of this predicament, but without those two cards to play, Danny has to rely on scheme and just over powering the opponent. The better opponents are not going to be over powered, so then we are left with scheme to score points.

All very good points. Tommy is very conservative with the ball, which obviously has positive points, but once in awhile we need to take a shot. I also agree on Kett. He actually cost us a few games with boneheaded plays, in Tommy's defense, his deficiency is not making big plays for us, not making dumb plays to lose the game for us.
