After watching UNI vs ISU yesterday, the teams after NDSU in the MVFC are overrated. ISU has no offense and this being the second time I have seen UNI they have athletes but aren’t any better than teams we have seen this year. Not sure how the committee sorts all this out but it shouldn’t be this team is in the MVFC so they are automatically in.
Just beat Weber!!
Maybe with any luck you will get UNI in the first round of the playoffs. It sounds like it should be a cakewalk for the Fighting Hawks. Also, do you have a prediction for the UND record in the MVFC next year? 7-1, 8-0? Maybe 6-2 worst case?

You bring such amazing insight, thank you so much.
You are very welcome. And I do think 16 playoff teams would be plenty.

Defense was really bad today for the most part. Tough with injuries, but you can’t let your roster get to that point. Even with the starters, the DL was getting worked today. They need to figure something out on that side of the ball or Montana State will dominate us.
CP killed themselves by getting behind the sticks with penalties. If they don't have several false starts to put them from 3rd and 2 to 3rd and 7, UND doesn't win this game.

Congrats to the D2 football team that beat the D1 football team on the road!
More like a D2 team beating another D2 team on the road. If either of those teams are FCS playoff teams, the NCAA needs to rethink the number of teams in the FCS playoffs. I think 16 is plenty.

Seems like he can ball. Tape is pretty good. Attacks the ball.
I think he would be a great slot guy if you had someone that could stretch the field. He looks an awful lot like some of the guys you already have in the program. You don't have a lot of guys that have the speed to separate, and I am not sure Wright is the guy that can do that either.

I will peg us at about 5 and ndsu will not finish 1st
probably a pretty good assessment. NDSU could finish first but a VERY good chance they won't. I would certainly take the field vs NDSU to finish first, but I do think they have the best chance out of everybody else. They lose nobody (other than Deng) and have a year more experience. I think the Griesel kid will be much improved and they may have the best point guard in the league.

All of this...and yet NDSU still ran for 347 yards and scored 46 points in beating the #10 team in the country by 32...
It doesn't matter how many people can predict a play when you still can't stop it...Execution > Creativity in my book!
But there will be a game or two this year when it will be tied or less than a one score game and 3rd and two and he will run up the middle to a ten man box and won’t get it, and do the same on 4th and one.

Agreed. Realistically the NDSU options would boil down to the legacy Northern Iowa guys or coaches who played outside their program. I don't see their former players coming here.
I agree. I can’t see Roehl ever coaching at UND. Not sure you would want him. I am not sure I am convinced about his play calling yet. I can predict 80% of his plays because they are 80% runs between the tackles, especially when protecting any kind of a lead. UNI has 9 in the box several times before the game was decided and they still ran it.

I think this is one of your bigger problems. I think I read earlier this year Baukol is a Fargo native and has been a S&C coach at UND for something like 20 years. I don’t think he is developing kids like other programs are. I think it was quite telling when DC Schmidt was interviewed before the NDSU game on Izzo’s or Jack Michael’s show and he was asked about Trey Lance. His first comment was surprise at how much bigger he is now than when he was a senior HS. Putting 30 pounds on a 6’3-1/2 “ frame should not be surprising at the FCS level. It also showed me that they were aware of Lance in HS and didn’t see fit to offer him, which should tell you something about their talent evaluations.

The article said he has been in contact with some D1 teams but didn’t see any offers.
It sounds like he blasted his tape off to a lot of D1 schools and Bubba was the only coach to contact him. Was this kid at any camps over the summer?

They talk like Holm could play his 4 games for games at the end of the regular season and still redshirt, but wouldn't that mean no playoff games? I think I asked the question before if playoff games count towards the 4 games, and someone answered "yes."
Playoff games definitely count towards your 4 games, which is why NDSU saved Seth WIlson's 4 games for the playoffs last year.

9But is Schuster better than Boltman? Just asking, not implying either way.
I think that depends if you want a QB that runs 90% of the time with not much of a threat of a pass or someone with little mobility but that can throw? Schuster looks like a pretty good QB in my opinion. His height would worry me a bit. He has to be able to see over his lineman.

He has already been coaching in the MVFC just not at head coach. His defensive system will be picked up if Bubba is ever let go. There will be a ton of teams trying to get Schmit for his denfense. Bubba is a good defensive coach but had not been able to get it done on offense.
Did you pay attention to Bubba's defenses when he was DC at SIU? They weren't exactly the Steel Curtain.

Wait....I thought the Fargodome was "the best atmosphere in the FCS" and NDSU has "the best college football fans in the FCS if not all of college football"?!! No way this happened at the Mecca of college football that is the Fargodome!!
It happens all over college football. There are even students st Alabama and Clemson that go to FB games and are not there to watch a game. Shocking I know...
Do you think NDSU fans and administration paid off ESPN and SI to get them to rate NDSU in the Top 5 game day atmospheres/experiences in all of college football? Maybe your beef is with the national sports media outlets and not NDSU fans.

There are a substantial number of UND alumni living in Imperial Cass County, ND. I really hope they are NOT supporting NDSU at the expense of UND. If that is the case, then we aren't doing a good job of cultivating relationships with people.
The "leadership" at UND has been non-existent to incompetent over the past 10 years. The next Presidential hire will be crucial to changing this dynamic.
There are a number of UND alums that are members of TeamMakers to be able to get NDSU FB season tickets. Even the head FB coach at Shanley, who is a UND alum and student athlete at UND is a season ticket holder and TeamMaker. However, there a lot of NDSU alums that are season ticket holders for UND hockey.

In light of the current salary structure and the sad truth that this is not the top job in our state much less conference, who would really want it?
I agree that it's important to nab an SU assistant to become a coordinator.
Problem is NDSU positions coaches probably make as much as a coordinator at UND.

38-27 EWU. Just one of those games we won't win. Even with a loss we will still be on schedule to make the playoffs.
40-30 EWU. If 2-3 is on schedule for the playoffs you are correct, but you are wrong if 2-3 is not. UC Davis at home was counted on as a win before the season, but Davis plays like they did last week, it will be a loss for UND.

Based on the first three werks UND deserves to be in top 25, even if it only lasts a few weeks. BS on teams getting ranked for quality losses and weak schedule wins.
OK, You beat the "number 24" team so maybe you should be number 24 yourself. SHSU is ranked only because they have a history of being a playoff team in horrible league. The team UND beat yesterday if a bad FCS team regardless of ranking. I know your announcers were trying to say Schuster and Wanzek were beating Xavier Rhodes and a defense full of NFL players, but they weren't.

I see ndsu was up by 3 scores with two minutes remaining and decided to run a fake field goal on 4th down. They later punched it in for one more touchdown in the final minute.
Classy.
NDSU has hardly run up the score this year. They have a true freshman kicker that has a weak leg, Why take a chance at getting a kick blocked, a kick that has less than a 50% chance of being good? They didn't throw the ball at all that last few possessions with backups in. Do you tell your players to fall down when they get touched?

Of those 19 commits, it appears 4 had other D1 offers.
This is Bubba’s biggest problem. UND is trying to win at the FCS level with a bunch of kids most FCS schools don’t think are D1 caliber players. I know some kids slip through the cracks, but you can’t win National championships with 75% of your recruits with “no other D1 offers”.

At the end of their DII domination it was other schools that caught up to su (the change in the # of scholarships allowed helped). Hockey has always been the top sport but it didn't stop UND from dominating SU in the 90s and winning a national championship. UND has proven it can get blue chippers.
This isn’t the D2 days. The 90’s and early 2000’s may just be a decade and a half past, but they are light years from the FB landscape in the Upper Midwest today.
I don’t remember ESPN College GameDay coming to ND in the D2 days. I don’t remember and ND team consistently beating FBS schools, and an occasional P5 school on recruits. I don’t remember one if the ND schools being named one of the top10 schools in ALL of college football, being named the 3rd best game day experience in all of college football. Having the Number 2 NFL draft pick that has signed a $100 million contract and consistently putting players in the NFL.
UND fans may not want to face it, but the mountain they need to climb is higher than it has ever been to catch NDSU in FB. NDSU has a national profile now bigger than any FCS school. They won’t win every championship and they will lose 2 or 3 games this year. They will probably lose a game to UND in the next ten years, they have probably lost at least once to every MVFC in the last 10 years, but UND won’t pass NDSU in FB in the next 25 years or as long as they are both in the same sub-division.

A couple weeks ago. He said NDSU would consider it in a couple years. When the Summit gets football and the whole thing goes FBS IMHO

In my opinion, this video shows a lot. Listen to the guys talk about how “cool and exciting it is” to go play in the Fargo Dome. Maybe they’re talking about how it’s cool to be the start of the rivalry again but it just rubbed me the wrong way. They all talked about how they really needed to build off that one drive as if it was something magical how they scored on the mighty NDSU.
I think that must be one of Bubba’s recruiting pitches since they will be playing every year again. I have heard at least a couple of his commits this year say one of the things that intrigued them was that they get to play NDSU every year.

While the Bison want to win this game to have a perfect regular season, they really have nothing else to go gain other than a perfect season. They are locked into a a top 2 seed after this weekends results, so they will have home field as long as they are playing. Even though they said starting LB's Cox and Mercadel could probably play against SIU, I would be surprised if they do. Any body that is a little nicked up will probably be left at home. This game will be much bigger for SIU than for NDSU.
