UND Football Fan

This game has the combination of Idaho state home loss from years ago and a sprinkling of apathy of NAU loss that knocked us out of the playoffs

The O-line need to get a fricken attitude. They have been soft since NDSU game. Someone needs in that o-line needs to stand up and be a leader and not only say enough of this sh!T but also lead by example.

I’m expecting us to come out and execute the game plan and we win comfortably. Historically Bubba’s teams follow up a blowout loss with a home win. The exception was probably 2017 season.

Here is my take about taking Tommy out. Maybe if he was takin out after the opening drive of the 3rd. Trey comes in and rally’s team to a win. Or maybe we lose. Another is that Tommy would be p!ssed off and be more focused more resilient next time. Or the team rallies, saying we cannot let out QB down. I don’t know the psyche of our players or what goes on in the locker room. Our coaches would know more about motivating them. Bottom line players have to believe and make their own energy on the road. Focus one play at a time….. Historical note, 1979 Monday Night Kenny throws pick 6 and Raiders down 35-14 in 3rd. Flores sends in Plunkett and Stabler waves him off and later says. I got us into this mess, and I’m going to get us out of it. 4 TD’s later Raiders win.

I only went to last 25 for comparison so I did not include Sam Houston and yes no playoff teams. Most losses were FBS or teams with winning records.

Comparison to last 25 home and 25 away games. 23-2 Home last 25 6-19 Away last 25. of those 6 wins only Youngstown 7-4 had a winning record.

I agree, Just like NDSU week Offense-Defense-Special Teams-Preparation/coaching led them to victory, unfortunately, UNI week where the Offense-Defense-Special Teams-Preparation/coaching led to the defeat.

Tonight Washington is losing to Arizona State at home after a big win (and fans storming the field). Now how coaches have get the players to respond and make adjustments to win. Being flat after a win happens but over several years we almost never recover to win after a poor start and that’s tough to stomach as a fan.

I never said or implied “good loss” , my point of not being upset is if this team played/coached their butts off and lost. Disappointed yes, but not upset because of the effort and team was in position to win. This game I felt was over after the fumble, there seemed no energy from players and coaches. If we are a playoff team that should not happen.

Don’t get me wrong, I felt we should win, UNI was not going to be a pushover, however how we lost is unacceptable.

Last year. We fought out butts off and made a game of it at Weber despite being outmatched. We beat a playoff caliber Youngstown last year on the road. I was expecting a win (though UNI would be fighting for their playoff lives) or at least a team coming out after a crappy half to make a game out of it. Instead we played flatter than we did at SIU last year. Long story short is I’m not totally upset with the loss, but as a fan how we lost and appear to show no fight is the most disappointing.

SDSU started off crappy here last year and turned it around. I know we are not SDSU, but if we are a top 10 team team….we can turn it around.

Special teams and turnovers made it a blowout. I also am not teasing my NDSU friends, if we play again it will be closer but I still like our chances if (win out no doubt) we play them at home.

I remember both playoff games. 1995 UND team was depleted at corner had a short corner compared to Cheatham on the other side. That was the year Rob Berthiaume passed prior to start of season. 1994 playoff game was a defensive battle.

We come flat, SIU last year all over again. We start slow and play decent D, NAU road game of last year. We play well early, I do see a one to two score win like Youngstown last year. It will be a physical game. If we expect to make playoffs and go beyond first round, we must win this game!

I do find it funny when some of their fans complained that our fans rushed the field. Don’t they (fans that complained) watch college football, when teams beat a higher ranked team or have not beaten a team in a long while fans do that. Coach Prime’s win over TCU, or yesterday Oregon missed FG and Washington fans rushed the field. That’s the excitement of college football! Only complaint I would agree with is flashing horns down in front of their player would be unsportsmanlike and 15 yards, but did not affect the outcome of the game. Less than two hours and focus on UNI. Coaches will be focused, players need be focus and realize UNI season is on the line this week and they will not quit especially at home.

I thought it would be tight because of our run defense in the past and play action that they could run from that. 49-17 in the 4th, I was like this is a historical victory. The coaches definitely got them prepared for this one.

Only one noticeable bad snap and a sack on miscommunication (that is what it looked like) they out physical them today! Hopefully that confidence spells over next week!

Rocky’s excuse was scholarship reduction that the ended D2 dynasty, this FCS dynasty ending will be blamed on the transfer portal.

Saw this on TV, when I saw this, I felt the energy and team is ready….air was ripe for opening of a case of &ss!

Great on all phases, as an o-line guy it was awesome to see us run and win the battle of the trenches and defense playing fast and getting off blocks. When we blocked the punt, it reminded me a little when KJ Coughlin blocking a punt and got us rolling in the Fargo Dome. Seniors wanted this and, it showed!

1993 we got over the hump, I’m hoping History repeats 30 years later and we do it again in 2023!

Good team win, nice to blow out teams that we should. Red’s injury concerns me along with Bo. Snaps we clean we did not run lots of trickery on Offense. Skokna looked fast on his TD run, which was great to see. Back-ups played well in mop up duty. I expected a 4 score wind and we exceeded that. We were able to get them off the field (7-20 on 3rd/4th down I think). Defense played with confidence (albeit Western Illinois is bad). I hoped to see a different QB to run wildcat then Q (I thought Trey, but Romfo looked good running it). Next week, Need to continue to get SU off the field on third down again. My guess they will try to be like SDSU and out physical us on the defensive front the run. Offense we need to run effectively, our offense gets decent chunk yards when we run play/pass or misdirection with a good run game. Wanting to see History repeat itself and we get a 1993 moment that ends the streak and gets UND over the hump!

If he led him it could have been picked, he probably could have ran for the first. Unless you were not talking of the boot.
