I’m sure with no timeouts, they did not want to rush FG unit. I did wish we use our big WR on a corner route.!

If I recall one punt only and that resulted a fumble and flipped field. Their safeties are hell bent to to stop run, we have enough WR speed to win one on one. If we can (as said by others) get a WR with more elite speed, with continued OL development and run game. We could get something sustainable on offense. Defense is improving just need to keep progressing to the good each week. As for the game, D needs a stop and with another score hopefully we can see Jerry run a few series with our starting line and work in more depth.

Rather have 4 for over 200 than 4 for 20

No let up D, let’s get a pick 6 and get over 50 by half!

Did they have 10 on D?

I was hoping defensively they would be better prepared for an athletic QB that can run,” but that was just a dream, that was just a dream and now we have to win in a shootout, we have to score more points than them.” REM melody hit me during in the quotation marks.

Maybe Butler had lots of Seniors and Grad students….(my attempt at sarcasm)

For the present need to play much better today!!!

The crowd helped on stopping that series.

This may be the new philosophy for both teams today.

Looks like offense came ready to play. Defense let’s settle down and get the ball back!

Crowd should get us doing…. expecting - 3 score win Hoping - plenty of backups get quality reps Demanding - keep attacking with backups in

My hope (it is a hope) we see more QB runs in the bigger games. NDSU typically in the past did not run the QB unless it was against a better team. There was a few times during the few games where it looked if he kept the handoff he could hit the edge and get some yards.

Any Simon is better than over thinking and hesitant Simon.

I will try not be too critical, but if we cannot be more effective with the pass. Good teams will load the box and not worry about the pass game, because their corners will be more athletic than what we have seen so far this year. Danny with Tommy was effective enough with the pass that kept teams from loading up the box because even on 3rd and 3 teams knew we could still pass the the first. On the positive, I like the twisting we are doing in defense, San Diego has beef and bull rushing beef is not a good recipe. Lastly the players (or coaches) have to play to win the game. We look like we are and playing not to lose.

If we don’t get our crap together we will be like the 2017 N Arizona team that lost to San Diego 41-10 in the first round of the playoffs!

I was trying to be more optimistic then last week….know I think

From watching on TV, the energy remind me of the ISU Blue game last year. Offense needs do do something, so defense can get their crap together!

My guess is we may end the first quarter up 14-7 because the clock will move fast with us establishing the running game. We then break some big plays and win 51-17.

I know Simon had some (some will say several) one hopped throws, maybe the coaches will try what Cleveland did for Rube Baker to get him to throw back to the pitcher. I thought to add some humor on a Monday.

I believe so

I also am perplexed on this not putting back up QB in, I remember Roger Thomas keeping the starting O-Line with the back up QB and go a least a series before subbing more O-Line. Great opportunity for live reps with starting o-line.

SDSU had 3 TO and scored 11 points more than UMary did against Augustana today. Our win is over all way better SDSU’s IMO.

Since 2006 (UND site has no data of older that I saw) Bubba 11 - 3 and 26-7 in other home games Muss 5-2 and 18-10 in other games (note early days we had several poor teams for home games D1 Eea 16-5 and 44-17 D2 games since 2006 5-1 in 10,000 plus games so since 2006 UND is 21-6 in games of 10,000 plus crowd.

Other teams make their luck, confidence and effort is good recipe with a sprinkle of the opposition playing not to lose.
