Everyone thinks loss to NDSU was ok and the glaring issues aren’t addressed. Win the next game all is well. This game is evidence why you don’t make excuses and get better. I was so shocked to see a QB run on us and have success, never seen that before. If you don’t put pressure on the ball the entire defense is screwed. We rush maybe one player and contain none. Keep rocking the 3-4. I’m not sure I’ve seen a single adjustment on offense or defense in 3 years.

Agree on everything. Strange part is the athletes are on the team but who they play and how doesn’t seem to make sense from the stands sometimes. I would turn our big nose guards and D tackles loose on every play but they spend half the time on the sideline. 3-4 works when they bring up the linebackers to the line.

I thought Murray State looked like a pretty good team then after what USD did and we did in Fargo the next week I came back to reality.

It’s better to lose the right way than win the wrong way or something. This week better be a win.

So I’m not the only one here that watched the game. Good.

Losses to FBS and one of the top FCS teams aren’t really losses. Neither are losses after big wins, on the road, or playoffs. There wasn’t really any issues yesterday it was mostly just bad luck.

Changed my mind. Great game.

I waited 5 hours.

Haha good practice scrimmage we had today. Keep trying you can do it!

No turnovers. No penalties. Pound the ball. Misdirection and pass. Receivers must make the play on the ball thrown. Defense get a couple take aways.

I’m not even reading tonight. Great win. We showed we have some phenomenal playmakers at #1 and #2 spots. Keep the momentum and prep for next week. Fix the gaps and build on the complete game. I would not want to face us right now.

#11 with the greatest hand off ever and lead block to the end zone!

I can’t speak for Tommy but it seemed like he was done at UND no matter what. Skokna and lots of players reach the point where they are moving in in life. Tommy already scoring a TD at his home state at Michigan State has gotta be icing on the cake. What a career.

I did find myself wondering during the game what Trey and Jerry were like during practice. Did they throw the ball off wall of the sports center or over the rail road tracks? Did they accidentally kick the ball instead of throw it? Did they hit somebody in the head in the stands on a deep pass?

Iowa State-Iowa-Gophers so we should at least tie the Gophers.

Iowa State and Montana showing this is a championship caliber team that so far is maybe at 50% potential and certainly hasn’t played a good complete game and still at 3-1. The best players at some positions might not even be on the field yet? Like you said no one expected this start. After the awful pass coverage first half and passing game and to flip it all the second half is historically unique. Next week is the trap trap trap game then on to the Super Bowl.

A win is a win. You can’t say the last three games haven’t been interesting. Outstanding play in some areas.

The defense having multiple take aways was huge last week and hopefully they keep it going. Game changing plays.

UND sent about 7 players to FBS this off season. Another to national FCS champs and one to CFL. Jerry or anyone going FBS could very well happen.

And huge props to our 4 receivers. Fun to see Belquist shine and Dennis is quietly making outstanding plays over and over.

QB has been covered. Good competitor. Happy for Simon to have a good game. Just to point out Jerry was very successful at track and his slowest 40 time is a 4.7 so I’m pretty sure he can run and his arm is better than good. No idea why he isn’t being worked in. We put up with underachievement in one area then another area we have great competition amongst players. Lastly the o-line is quite interesting. I love the rotation at center and it’s basically taking two average players and making it a strength. Left side tackle and guard need to rotate two deep. Thaden needs reps and he can’t be worse than the one playing. Make these guys work for their spots. Folland is rumored to be one of the best lineman on the team and our left guard needs the rest and be motivated. Right side needs to keep working hard and last week was very tired. This week against 230 lb D lineman it went good. Right guard gets rolled around a little too often. Love we have Seth Anderson on the team. He’s a quiet leader and great anchor. Overall great win!

Offense…well Freuchte might be a genius. While our offense is stacked in areas what he has put together in 3 games is impressive. I’m not sure if anyone has noticed but we lack in a few spots but the offense sure rolled today. Our 4 running backs do not get enough credit. You can say they are good but they are twice as good as that. Many runs they skip, step over or run through 2-3 blocks. Love seeing them take it to the house. I think Hunt averages a score every other carry. Huge props to the other 3 again. Great blocking on edges they block like a FB from the TE.

Special teams is fine. Just keep making all field goals and extra points and don’t kick out of bounce. The blocking scheme is stupid on kicks if you ever pay attention. Blocking gives no chance for alternative plays. The more you pay attention the worse it is.

Good win. Took care of business. Defense is playing with some serious fire most of the game. There seems to be competition amongst themselves and the intensity is very high. Way more pressure at the line the last two games than all of last year. The takeaways including pick 6 and two strip sacks are game changing plays. I do not like to see letting off the pressure and definitely some complacency that let to Idaho State scores but overall good. 50, 23, 27, 90, maybe a few more I missed and all the linebackers were really rolling. Average opponent at best but still a great win.
