To be fair.. the offense looked completely inept at UNI.. and for the first 2 quarters and a good chunk of the 3rd quarter at the game yesterday as well. Both teams scored more pts in the 4th quarter than they scored the rest of the game. You have to give Tommy a ton of credit for the last quarter and OT but i think its also fair to say where has that been. I for 1 am tired of the trick plays, short passes and bubble screens. I want to see Tommy play with the confidence he did in the last drive and the overtime throwing the ball further than 3 yrds and scrambling. I hope those two drives are the catalyst for the rest of the season. Also Quincy has got to be one of the most valuable players on the offense... making some nice plays at TE and makes the 3rd or 4th and short automatic even with the line totally stacked.

Based on the way the last two games or at least 7 of the last 8 quarters have gone from an offensive perspective its really hard to be supportive of Freund. I love a good trick play as much or more than the next guy.. I hate our reliance on it. Im super tired of all of the short little passes to the outside particularly with all of the teams just out there sitting on them on us. Even with all of the issues today.. we still had the game won if the coaches had just kicked the short field goal and gone for 1 instead of going for 2 for no reason. While Im annoyed with the game Im still happy we won.. A bad win is still way better than a loss. Indiana State is not Western Illinois no matter what the record says. Somehow this team needs to return to the mindset of the NDSU game. If we can do that there is no reason we cant win the next 3 games. We should be able to beat Murray State, USD just got spanked by SDSU as bad or worse than we did and they have a tough game next week against the Salukis, and the Illinois State game will also be tough but winnable if we can refocus.

Can always hope 7-4 gets us in.. 2015 UND and last years Youngstown have some complaints on that front. If the loss to UNI had been a close game I wouldnt have any concerns, but getting smashed like that was not helpful. NAU will end up being a decent win and Boise State is looking good and SDSU is killing everyone. I could see our last game against ISU being for one of the last playoff spots as they will have a good chance of that being for 7-4 for them as well.

they were daring us to throw the ball over the middle.. they were totally loaded up to stop the bubble screens and short swing passes behind the line of scrimmage.

all that being said.. most of the pee wee football coaching legends wouldnt have done a fake fg when we obviously need a little game practice on FG's.. most wouldnt have gone for two for some inexplicable reason.. and most wouldnt have called two flea flicker plays. which doesnt mean this board isnt full of idiots . For all the crap people give tommy.. he had a great drive to end the 4th quarter and a good overtime as well. I think its time to limit danny to 1 trick play and 2 bubble screens per game.

ask montana state how important a 42 yd fg is.. Glad we finally made a FG today.

lets see.. o-line is still struggling didnt get to see any of the RB room depth and maybe skokna hurt now also? didnt get to see any of the backup QB's HOW ABOUT THAT FIRST FG OF THE SEASON Punter looked better.. certainly didnt need to sleep today Defense fell apart in the 4th quarter ufdah.. I would say really bad performance from the coaches today and maybe the o-line also.. but I mostly put it on the coaches. some really terrible play calling (two flea flickers.. fake FG.. going for 2 for no reason) This loss would have been 100% on the coaches. Im as tired of this coaching staff as Ive ever been and Ive lost faith in Danny. When is the last time a win has felt so much like a loss.

well as my son says.. at least UND football is exciting

meanwhile.. fake fg for no reason.. going for 2 pts when 1 was all they needed.. who ever is in charge of those calls (I can only assume bubba) terrible.. terrible.. terrible.

you cant make this story up..

He is bad at math

Why? Seems like there is benefit to being ahead by 12 instead of 13..

How can that not be a check to a slant..

How many times has a team run the flea flicker twice in one game?

Tommy put some heat on that ball and everything! Nice!

Stop running these stupid fake plays

I think you mean make a feeney change!

I know everyone is blaming bubba and he deserves it.. but good lord what has happened to our offense.. it’s as bad as I have seen it.

Looking for bright spots.. punting is better this week

Who calls for a fake fg.. is that Danny or Bubba?

I would like to hear from one of our O-line experts.. my untrained eye tells me they are really underperforming since the ndsu game

Agreed o-line has really struggled

Pedigo showing some spark!

I’ve been a huge Danny supporter/fan.. this year outside the ndsu game he has doubled down on all of his shortcoming.. too many trick plays.. too quick to abandon the run.. no flow on offense

How can we keep running designed plays on 3rd down short of the sticks.. everything requires significant YAC.. short crappy passes
