Midwestern Hawk

What time do the playoff brackets get announced?

Bubba is a great man, but I think this season represents his ceiling as a head coach. The bigger the game, the worse we play. So many big games and opportunities squandered during his era. The game yesterday was painful to watch and reminded me of so many other big games during this era. If the team responds like they did yesterday during the entire year, we likely have 1-2 wins. There was nothing special about that NDSU team, nor the plays which put the game out of reach, we just weren't ready to play. The Special teams were bad, can we just kick the ball out of bounds? The offense was anemic, back to the 4 yard pass on 3rd and 9 and Tommy seemed to be rattled the entire game. Without the short throw Belquist turned into 63 yards, we averaged about 5 yards per pass attempt and that doesn't include the sacks and scrambles. The defense was as bad as it has been all year. Couldn't stop the run at all and made Miller look like he is Lamar Jackson.

Only 363 yard rushing for NDSU.

I will take a ton of flak for this, but the last 2 games vs NDSU were not lost due to personnel issues overall. It’s about preparation, confidence, game planning and execution.

Total horse sh@t

I thought D would have recovered from personnel losses by now. It’s ugly.

F ugly.

This defense is so painful to watch.

C’mon D. Need a stop now

That was huge!

Not outcoached? Is this a serious comment?

By a substantial margin

We will need to score 50 to win.

Gonna knock us out of this the playoffs if we don’t get it going..

Not 3, and not to their rival.

Yeah. That is what I am saying. We need to win first, but everything changes with a UND win.

End of the NDSU championship era in FCS.

This is the opportunity we have all been waiting for. A chance to change the narrative in FCS football. Get it done Bubba! Let’s go Hawks!

Wow! Big plays!

Wow!

WTF was that?

So far no defense at all. Offense needs to respond.

No doubt about it. The playoffs have started. No turnovers and we get our 2nd playoff win(@ISU).

We agree completely on that point.

I meant overall. We lost a lot of players on D. Here is starting D last season.
