IMO the problem is not the RB room, although we could use a couple more talented bodies in that room.. yah it would have been great to have Ziebarth at full strength but Isaiah was also running super hard. The RB's were not the problem.. the lack of calling their number in the 2nd half was the problem. Committing to the run solves a ton of problems when the QB struggles to throw the ball downfield. It helps the O-line out.. it helps the defense out.. and it actually helps the QB/WR out. This game was as frustrating of a game as Ive watched all year although there have been a few.

A good chunk of this one is on Danny in my book

yep.. they are very good.. particularly when you try to run a bunch of short little passes to the outside. They had great speed and clean tackling on our little outside plays. This game was there for the taking if we kept running up the middle..

not a great take.. Tommy ran 7 times for -6 yds.. we were 22 for 101.. 4.6yds/car

Man I hate the at least we have hockey comments.. have they showed up this season? Might want to watch the next couple weeks before you make that comment.

While the pass defense almost unexplainable, Defense did enough to win and exceeded all expectations. Every single person on this board would have been happy with 14 points by SD. Danny's play calling was terrible.. Calling runs would have won the game. we were slicing and dicing them on the run and it wasnt close. Tommy is what he is.. but should have run the ball. 3 pts from the offense in a game is terrible.. 3pts in the last two games against a decent opponent is unexplainable. Tommy can run up a ton of points against crap teams.. clearly struggles against good teams. ALL OF THAT BEING SAID.. IF DANNY RUNS THE BALL JUST LIKE WE DID AGAINST NDSU ITS AN EASY WIN. Tommy is what he is.. IF you are going to play him.. play to his strengths. I ahve lost a lot of faith in Danny this year. The game next week against Illinois state is not a gimme.. they are a good team and could easily knock us out of the playoffs as they will be playing to get into the playoffs. What a disappointing game for UND.

Offense needs to finally show up

Defense while frustrating today has kept us in the game. Offense needs to show up. Play calling and passing execution has been terrible

I won’t even argue your point which is decent.. game is over if we stuck to the run

I won’t blame Tommy today.. he is what he is. .. today the play calling is the problem. Runs are there for the taking.

If the run wasn’t working I would get it.. but this is atrocious.. take the easy yds.

We are getting 5-6 yds a rush this half.. run the ball! These crappy passes are killing us.

Defense is playing very well today.. cmon O! Make em pay!

Should have been pick 6 kk.. cmon fella

Which they never should have had except for a really dumb penalty.. great job on defense making up a a really bad mistake.

Raise your hand if you had it 10-0 at the half .. cmon D let’s see a full game effort!

That one was good from a long ways

Uffdah.. easy td to Quincy if the ball isn’t underthrown

Im looking forward to a good game today. Nervous like everyone else about the defense and tendency of an overcomplicated offense. Bottom line.. to do anything in the playoffs gotta be able to win a game like this one on the road. 31-24 UND.

whats the over under on trick plays today?

Hopefully his last 6 quarters and OT have built his and the rest of the offense confidence for a very strong finish to the season.

Im pretty sure Pedigo played

Having 2 relevant/meaningful football games in November to finish the regular season. This is awesome! Defense will have to show major improvement over the last couple of weeks. Hopefully both Siegel and McNaboe are back this weekend. Offense needs to keep rolling. Would be nice to see Gavin Ziebarth healthy. I would like to see us not abandon the run. If they are loading up the box on us like UNI and Indiana state then tommys going to have to make some plays downfield.

seems like we should focus on the positives at least a little bit at this point Offense basically scored at will. IF you want to complain a little bit.. Tommy missed a couple of deep throws to some pretty wide open receivers. That said he also threw for 279 yds, 5 TD's and a couple nice little scrambles. Isaiah Smith was a complete dog.. great running effort.. Overall OL was very solid. CJ Elrichs looked good kicking XP's and FG's.. Need to keep seeing this. Im guessing either the USD or the ISU game will come down to a couple FG's. Continued Improvement of Malachi McNeal The Bad Defense Struggled.. obviously.. Clearly missed McNaboe.. our D-line depth is still lacking. Losing CJ is a self-inflicted idiotic coaching mistake... particularly in this game. You are already down McNaboe.. why in the world are we throwing one of our most important Defensive players out there on Returns unless he is doing anything other than fair catches. Seems like we have a bunch of guys that could fill that role.. Eliodor.. Tai.. Siedle.. Skokna.. The unexplainable.. UND timeout to give Murray ST a little extra time at the end of the 2nd quarter.. Between that and some terrible home clock running. Should have been 24-3 at halftime. Just dumb Letting CJ return kicks.. dumb.. unexplainable.. bizarre. Murray ST's best offense in the 2nd half was UND penalties.. PI and holding.. some of them were really homer calls.. some were prob deserved. McNaboe and Siegel would have made a difference.

Zeller and Paye.. both super fun to watch in basketball as well.
