The decision to go for it on 4th down inside the 2 is changing among coaches. The almost certain FG vs pinning the opponent deep is becoming popular. Stats show pinning the opponent is the better option. Of course it's a situational and in game decision, but if your D is playing well it can be game changing. With horse crap FG kickers the decision is straight forward. Now play selection by an idiot OC is another issue.

I don't think the committee will take 5 MVFC teams. ISUred, NDSU, and USD are likely in. UND vs SDSU for the 4th spot??? Real possibility.

Game against SDSU could mean loser not in playoffs.

Yes, they win the head to head.

This and several other games the last few years were winnable IF we had confidence in kicking FGs. You cannot be a confident winning program in todays game wo a reliable kicker. Period. UND has missed oppty after oppty to win or take a lead in games early for as long as I can remember. Playing FB wo kicking FGs is like wrestling with both hands tied behind you. Terrible handicap both in scoring and in decision making.

Amen. Changed the game early.

I think he is going to be very good. Just not there this year. Some game experience a year ago would have been wise. He's maturing fast, but his OC isn't helping much.

Very possible.

I am so tired of this ineptitude that prevails when the offense really needs to step up. Really? 0 for 4 in one score late game losses! Defense was fantastic. Offensive coaching and Jerry not so much. Crap!

Another fantastic late game drive to the outhouse!

Ghost of Bubba very present.

First qtr fiascoes costing the game!

Same crap different year.

Center flagged for movement! Dumb de dumb!!!

Damn we are the example of futility.

Did UND only have 10 on the field when the Bison came to the line?

Coordinator positions, sorry. OC and ST.

I see 2 position coach openings at UND next year.

That was a real mess!! What a crap series of plays!!

Gotta get more pressure on Payton.

Yes, you are correct. Coaches need to be all over that too. Did you see the whiff/missed block by the RB for the Raiders Thursday night in Denver on 4th down? I thought Smith was going to kill him! Pros aren't immune from stupidity either.

Yes, I agree. That punt block set the tone for the rest of the game and inspired the coyotes. Coaches should have noted how long he was taking in the previous games and getting away with it....except once....the game before. Do we learn nothing?

Quit with the QB running!!

Seems like clock is never stopping. Any home cooking going on w scoreboard operations??

See yellow!
