My thoughts:
Our D was gassed in the 2nd half. Altitude a factor? 4 days rest a factor?
Danny Freund is good. 20-26 for ~230 yards. Cool customer.
Our Run defense is good.
I've said all season that I've seen alot of improvement from the secondary from the past 2-3 years. We gave up a pile of yards passing tonight. On the other hand, ISU pretty much abandonded the run in 2nd half (as usual), and alot of the passing yards racked up were underneath throws that benefited from poor tackling and "soft" underneath coverage from UND.
Like I always say..........Dominique Hawkins is good.
I absolutely LOVED what I say from the offensive line tonight. I was concernced about them after the first two games. I gained more confidence in them after UW-LaCrosse, and even more tonight. Keep it up guys!.
Murray is "The Man" for the next 3 years. Keep giving it to him. What a smart runner........
The point differential is about what I predicted for this game. But I don't like how we got up BIG, and let them back in. As I said above, I'll chalk some of that up to the short rest, travel, and altitude, but we haven't been super-sharp in the second half of 3 out of 4 games this year. That's my biggest concern about this team.
Congrats to the coaches and players, nice win by the Sioux!
