UND92,96

Probably, but they only drew 3300 yesterday, and SDSU vs. Southern Utah more closely resembles the UND-Winona matchup than does SDSU vs. NDSU in terms of expected competitiveness.

May as well be an optimist and subscribe to theory one. Here's why: as poor as our run defense looked yesterday, and as poor as it looked throughout most of the UNO game, we still were in a position to win the UNO game late. True, it was at home, but home field hasn't meant much in that series. It's a longshot, but it's possible if our offense plays lights-out and we get a turnover or two on defense. Heck, we beat them last year without forcing a single punt, although clearly their defense is better this year. It also sounds like the injuries are piling up a bit for them. As for GVSU, we simply have no idea how good they are this year, since they have so many new faces, and they haven't had to play any highly-ranked teams. Again, it's unlikely that we would win there, but at this point we simply don't know enough about them to say one way or the other. Key injuries may also be an issue for them right now.

At the risk of stirring the pot--which is really not my intention here--what do people think should happen regarding the defensive coordinator situation next year? As most people know, for the past two years UND has had co-coordinators, which I believe is a rather unusual arrangement. Should Lennon keep things as they are? Pick one or the other? Try to recruit Bubba or Dosch back? Thoughts?

UND lost their last match of the season yesterday, to finish 0-12 in the NCC, and 6-23 overall. Any theories as to why things got so bad after a decent first season for Peterson?

There was an interesting article in today's Herald in which Terry Wanless and Roger Thomas were interviewed regarding their experiences as a.d. [url="http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/index.cfm?id=56764

Same here. I had meant to post something earlier this week about Mr. Larson's passing because I knew he was a UND basketball great.

I'd much rather see Ashland, just because it would likely be a high-scoring affair, and it would be good to show that the NCC's number 2 team is clearly better than the number 2 team from the GLIAC.

So you guys lost Hochstein today? Is it probable season-ending? That would be a shame.

He apparently played in the first half today.

It looks like UND is for certain the 3 seed, which means we'll likely be playing either Ashland, Winona or possibly Wayne State. My guess is Winona. Again. EDIT: Winona is up on Wayne 38-20 in the third quarter, so now it's probably a matter of whether Winona or Ashland gets the 6 seed.

Weston certainly didn't hurt his Harlon Hill chances today...

Alright, so maybe we're a longshot to get to Florence, BUT AT LEAST THEIR STREAK IS DEAD AND WE'RE 9-1!

NEVER MIND!

If they get another first down, maybe we should just let them score so at least we'll have enough time to respond?

Thank you Weston!

I'm so sick of our crappy kickoff team.

The big difference between the two teams is that we can't seem to run when they know it's coming. They can.

Chappell's back in.

Now USD's run defense is looking as inept as ours.

Seriously, is this the worst UND run defense in about 20 years? This is almost like when I was a kid watching a bad UND team try to tackle Johnnie Bailey from Texas A & I.

We may still win this game, but I don't have much faith right now in hanging with UNO or GVSU on the road with our defense...

Another big run to the USD 29.

2nd and 6 from 5. 3rd and 1.

Sioux down punt at the 1. C'mon safety!

Chappell has really been bottled up this quarter. 3rd and 6. Crap. Punt coming up.
