I’m not going to call for Bubba’s head after a 7-4 season but I wouldn’t be devastated if he decided to hang it up and get a cozy job in the athletic department.
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.

Lol our run defense is laughable
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.

We stopped them last year with a 3-4, scheme isn’t necessarily the issue. We are just way too small for what we need to be successful with this scheme.
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, our players have executed like crap, defense can’t stop anyone all year
Not outcoached? Is this a serious comment?

It is year 9 and this is the worst defense Bubba has had.
By a substantial margin

We will need to score 50 to win.

Oh, c'mon! NDSU has lost regular season games most years during their championship run...they lost to their biggest on-the-field rival last year ... and still won the FCS title. One regular season game won't change anything.
Not 3, and not to their rival.

So, you are saying if NDSU loses, they have no shot at going deep in the playoffs, or winning the natty...again.
OK. The delusion in Grand Forks is real.Yeah. That is what I am saying. We need to win first, but everything changes with a UND win.

How would a UND win change the narrative of FCS? They have 1 FCS playoff 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!

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

This is a home playoff game. Need to take care of business.
No doubt about it. The playoffs have started. No turnovers and we get our 2nd playoff win(@ISU).

Right, my point though, is that most departures weren’t surprises. That means the roster management is an issue.
We agree completely on that point.

Who were the other DLs and OLBs that were unexpected departures?
I meant overall. We lost a lot of players on D. Here is starting D last season.
