Midwestern Hawk

Terrible call in that hit.

If we can get a lead they will crack.

Need to find the recipe on offense. Ugly for the most part.

Ugh is right.

Is it me or has ketteringh regressed as the season has gone on?

He is throwing it whether the receiver is open or not.

D gets it back !

Kett is awful again.

How do our dbacks let a 30 yard jump ball be caught?

Sacked on third and one?

Run the the frickin ball

We seem to be suspect on the short side edge.

Hawks 31-20

That was kind of my point, pretty rare at FCS level for a head coach to have his son be QB. I would say the chances of that working out well are between slim and none unless the kid was a real stud.

QB is son of head coach? Strange. https://s3.amazonaws.com/undsports.com/documents/2018/10/30/Week_9_Idaho_Football_Notes.pdf

Players execute when they are confident in what they are doing. Practice, drill and rehearse.

Weber had a great plan on third down and their QB knew exactly where to go when we brought pressure. I said it earlier, but their first TD play was ALL on their coaching staff. The formation drew our ILB's out to cover the slot receivers so the middle was wide open and the QB could almost walk into the end zone.

I lost mine too, but that is where the TOP comes into play. UND's 9 minutes TOP in 2nd half is awful.

Great point. UND is in a tough position sharing the same state as NDSU and constantly being compared. I agree, from what I have seen this year there is no team in FCS that will challenge NDSU. UND has a good team which is improving. UND IMO is still missing some pieces to challenge NDSU although anything can happen on a given Saturday.

Schmidt was responsible for that. Rudy for the O. Guys plays faster and meaner when they are well-prepared and very confident.

I get it. I thought defense was very poorly prepared and the game-plan was bad. Halftime adjustments were ineffective. We needed to concentrate on stopping the run and pressuring the qb.

Defense was not good, but how many teams win today at all levels of college football possessing the ball for 9 minutes of the second half? It is almost impossible. As bad as the defense was if the offense sustains an 8 minute, 15 play TD drive in the 3rd/4th when we were down 28-23 we probably win the game. Second half drives were: 9 plays 3:28(FG) 3 plays 2:05 5 plays 1:55 6 plays 2:51 0 plays 0:00 5 plays 0:38

Agree on JJ(#33) for sure. He is tough to bring down going north and south. Wears the other defense down, especially as the game wears on.

Football is the ultimate team game. Easier for offense to score after turnover(defense produced 0), easier for defense to play with a lead(had 1 lead) and when it has been resting for 5 plus minutes(UND longest drive was 4:59) Turnovers and time of possession are always huge.

That is preparation.
