Not on the road and especially not with our FG situation. Go for the win.

The facts show Tommy didn’t connect with Richter, he connected with an SDSU db and we lost. We were playing Russian roulette and UND pulled the trigger with a loaded chamber….again.

Watch the replay, richter slows down out of his break.

Absolutely. Make sure everyone is on the same page and to also have the next play ready depending on the results of the play being run. Complete pass and 3rd and short - this play Complete pass and 1st down - this play incomplete pass Scramble Sack Again this is not rocket science and happens at the end of the half for most teams. Don't forget about the end of the half vs WIU, it didn't matter but that was a joke too.

I disagree. The sack changed the calculus. In my mind there was NO chance we were going to attempt a field goal so we likely had 3 more downs to get the 18 yards and then another 4 downs to score. It is obvious from what transpired on that play that Richter was not expecting the ball, so the timeout would have not only preserved time, it would have made sure that everyone was on the same page for the next couple of plays.

Don't know him, nor much about him, but the way it usually works, is Chaves is shotgunning his resume to every university president in the country about now.

I agree, it was a seminal moment in that game, the season, for Bubba, and for the program. A win in that game, in that atmosphere, and who knows, we may very well be 10-1 and waiting to see who we host next week.

When we realized that NDSU KNEW we were going to run the fake, why on earth did we not call timeout? Do you realize how much that moment cost UND football?

When we tried the punt fake at our own 20, NDSU was watching and knew we were going to run a fake. There is very little "luck" in football.

Our chart must have said after a sack let 39 of the 90 seconds run off the clock and then on 2nd and 18 throw an interception.

Now that is a major bingo!

Here is the 2-deep from SDSU: In BOLD are the guys who are gone as of right now, either eligibility is up or portal. Krzanowksi is coming back as is Maag. Anyone have any info on Jalen Morrison or Noah Larson? As of right now the offense comes back almost intact besides Waletzko.

The transfer portal has definitely changed college football, but will likely just be another tool for the better programs to thrive and the lesser programs to not thrive.

Yeah. Rough morning so far for me.

Shoot. That's my bad. Not Siegel as far as I know. Just Nelson and Robertson leaving at corner.

Both gone.

You make some decent points, but the decision on football really needs to be about the profile of the university. UND has a great hockey tradition and fantastic facilities and is definitely known in college hockey hotbeds as the “hockey school”. The problem with that for the university as a whole is those “hotbeds” consist of Minnesota, the Red River Valley, and greater Boston. To 99% of the US population, college in North Dakota is NDSU. As an alum, that bothers the crap out of me and there is only one solution to that problem and it is NOT for UND to become a D2 powerhouse or have a strong women’s volleyball team.

I didn’t say worst coach In UND history, I said single worst coaching move in UND history. In many ways Bubba is a really good coach, just not in that moment vs NDSU.

Is this a joke? Start with the 4th down vs NDSU.

Don't know for sure. Not just folks on this board who are frustrated with some of the game management.

Yep, its not like some of these guys don't know basic football strategy. The NDSU mess will likely cost this program a bunch.

Unfortunately there will be more.

Good call on adding momentum. I just watched it again. It's just moronic. Did Bubba ever address that directly?

We were going to take advantage of NDSU taking out the bigs and putting smaller lighter faster guys out for the punt. Not a bad idea, but NDSU was ready for it (coaching) and noticed our OL didn't leave the field. So instead of calling TO(or letting the clock run down and taking a delay penalty) and actually punting, we ran the play anyways and gave them the ball at our 20. The defense stepped up and they only got a field goal, but it GAVE NDSU the lead mid way through the 3rd quarter.
