Yes! Love the personal story and how this experience will stay with this young man forever.

And Mandan v Minot on KRDK. Anyone of interest in that one?

Watching the game now (thanks for the link). On the play before the high snap, Oliviera has a shot at a wide open field to his left, but instead lowers his head to plow forward for about 4 yards. In second quarter, same thing. He dives into the pile, and while he's a load to take down, he just needs to head toward the sideline and he'd be home free.

How about Cloyd moving to DE? Got the size of Bennett and some speed.

He jumped the pile to push the runner forward. I thought it was a really close call, but I loved seeing our QB do that. Plus, he got involved in a scrum after he was going for the tackle on the Int. A guy on their team was called for a penalty.

On that play, JJ, who is a great downhill runner when he gets moving, did a spin move, which had worked earlier, but I thought he could have had the 1st down, if he didn't spin.

Always able to find a cloud in every silver lining.

Any viewing options for tomorrow? Just radio?

Yep, You are the ONLY one who wants the football team to win a Natty. The rest of us, just want to go to games on Saturday, watch them lose and go out to eat and be happy to have seen a game. Do I have it right?

That makes sense. But if there is a coaching change, it sure seems wise to me to head south and take one of the guys on that team. I believe Klieman was in line last time.

I want Santiago in the Percy Harvin slot that Florida used. Use him as a decoy if nothing else. Then hand off to Johannesson. I kid, I kid.

I almost never do, but football is not the culprit.

While our fan board is stuck on FIRE RUDOLPH and last week's debacle. I hated that game, but as this thread says, TIME TO MOVE ON. What does UNC do well? Can they stop the run? Is it possible our D controls them?

And Agnew seems good for our RB's. I think RB is the last coach to replace.

This is a common theme of another poster and one I don't comprehend. I believe, if I read this correctly, if we are NOT today calling for Bubba's head, we are not part of the "collective will to demand a winner." I call BS. Everyone here wants a winner. Just not sure that calling for the head coach's head is the answer. Yet.

As great as the new Ralph is, the old Ralph was a crazy, wonderful, right on top of the ice, type atmosphere with incredible fans each moment of each game. UND was hockey back then too!

See the 2nd half of the Richmond game especially 4th Q when he needed to make passes and didn't. Yes WR's dropped a couple but he missed too many. He almost ALWAYS had one receiver he locked in on as they left the huddle; when that guy wasn't open, he ran. No I don't believe he had the "it" factor. As many have noted here, the 8-0 BS run was very much D aided including the NAU game in which the D scored at least 1 TD if not 2? I don't recall.

Gotta think he waits till Thursday for that.

Though he made a really nice run before the Oliviera/Kett mishandled handoff in the first half.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO way.

It's the alignment that concerned me. Over and over again, we stuck with it for NO GOOD reason except that was the game plan.

And if kids make catches, and if Oliviera gets his feet under him in the endzone it's a TD and if the line gives Kett a bit more time the play works, and if Santiago or Oliviera don't get tripped at the line of scrimmage and if … How many times did their QB break tackles to get extra yards. TACKLING would seem to me, to be THE first thing a D coordinator focuses on?

Who is Rudy supposed to be aggressive with? The WR's who can't get separation or the ones who can't catch passes? Or should he be aggressive with a QB who is often running for his life? I read a post in which someone said that he should have just ran the ball in the 4th. Great. When that wouldn't work we'd have had 90 percent of the posters say he ran the ball too much.

And the best D in the first half was the crowd which caused penalties that kept them from scoring TD's on 2 possessions and instead they had to settle for FG's. The D never gets critiqued. It's all Rudy. That's wrong. IF and I know it's a big IF, Kett doesn't F up a handoff to Oliviera, it's 21-6. Instead, immediately after, ONE RB goes 80 yards in 3 plays and it's a new game. 80 YARDS IN THREE PLAYS. ONE RB. SAME PLAY EACH TIME!!! But it's Rudy's fault.

But it seems to play out that way for lots of coaches.
