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.

Ok. I agree with that. Tom Miller column: http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4520444-5-things-you-might-have-missed-weber-states-35-30-win-over-und#.W9T7aojIziA.twitter

I agree. Win out we are in playoffs and probably can host a first round game. I think our team is built to match up better with the MVFC. Can win a game or two.

Lights out on special teams? I would say they had two great plays and the rest was average at best. A KO out of bounds, a terrible onside kick, a missed XP, a couple of poor kickoff covers and a couple of poor returns which all led directly to poor field position. They were very well prepared for our blitzing, Constantine knew where to go with the ball. They were much better prepared for the game. Defenses rarely look fast when they are on the field for 21 minutes of the 2nd half.

I disagree. They were better today, and a lot of that to me was they seemed better prepared. I say they win 7 out of 10.

Win out and were in.

Remember we just lost to the #4 team in the FCS. At this point in the season, the cream has risen to the top and Weber really is a top 5 team. I think the Kett pick in the 2nd qtr was huge. We had all the momentum I will be scoffed at here, but if that play is a completion and we keep running and passing down the field and score at that point we win by a couple tds. Momentum is huge in football and after that play we were never able to completely get it back. Hats off to their coaching staff, preparation caused that pick. Probably was the deciding play in the game.

This was huge.

Agree with this 100%. That first TD run by Constantine where the ILB were both watching outside receivers and he waltzed into the end zone. Great adaptation.

WSU offense took what UND gave it. I was surprised we seemed to back away from pressure as the game wore on. Offensively IMO we went away from JJ way too soon and easily in the game. After 1st drive of 2nd half UND had 19 plays and 5 of them were on that last mess of a desperation drive. Can't do that unless 3 or 4 of the plays were TD's.

The offense had one really great drive that ended in a TD. One great "2-minute" drive that ended in a TD before half. A good drive to start the second half that ended in a FG. Other than that The offense was not very good at all. The defense did not play well overall but being on the field for 37 minutes wears them out. #44 missed a tackle in the 4th quarter he always makes and I would say the reason was he was worn out. Need to win out now.

Time of possession and turnovers decide most football games. Weber won both. They are a very good football team.

TOP plays a huge role how a defense performs. After ketts pick in first half, other than first first drive of second half defense seemed to be on field the rest of the game.

Kett did not play very well, especially in 2nd half, overall offense was awful in 2nd half. Defense did not play well either, Weber must have dominated TOP.

Leach with the field goal!

No jinx. He is just bad.

Didn’t need that.

There we go!

Need to adjust

Embarrassing.
