    Much respect.  Beatty was the first kicker that I remember actually playing.  Growing up on western ND only got to see the Sioux Bison games and some UND hockey on Prairie Public.  We've come a long way. 

    Beatty was really good as were Solberg, Glas, Paterka ..............we had a great run for a long time.

    I believe you are incorrect..  we punted from the 35 or 36.. we were never going to kick a fieldgoal from there it was 4th and 4.. we should have gone for it

    Our next offensive series we drove down to the Salukis 20 yard line and went for it on 4th and 5.. this would have been a 37 or 38 yard field goal that we should have tried to kick in my opinion.

    That could be.  I don't remember for sure but thought you were talking about the punt.  My bad.

    We had great kickers for about 25 years, going back to Pat Beatty.  We play indoors, which should be attractive. Have we just neglected the position in recruiting?

    I resent that as I'm sure  @VMeister does as we kicked for UND before Pat Beatty.  :)

    I have to admit there was a very good string of kickers starting with Pat.

    ok.. that one wasnt a great call either.  I was referring to the kicking game

    In the 2nd half

    • 31 yd fg blocked
    • 38 yd fg went for it instead of kicking
    • 36 yd fg missed
    • 47 yd fg missed badly.

    I know this is our backup fg kicker, but we are alos supposed to be a division 1 program.  I would expect you would have at least two kickers and maybe more on the team that could regularly make <40yd fg.

     

    we did not pass up a 38 yard fg attempt.  we were on the 35 or 36 so it would have been a 52 or 53 yard attempt.  Certainly not automatic

    Something that I thought on that 4th down, what a chance to sneak the TE out quick on play action (4th down play against USD in 2011 that went for a TD), bootleg, or even that jump pass we see every once in a great while. Everyone knew what was coming, try something different and fresh. 

    Many, many years ago Rob Bollinger did that on 4th down from about the 1/2 yard line for a TD against NDSU.  Gutsy call.

    As mentioned earlier, this was the first 3rd/4th and short that QV has not converted on the last two seasons.
    After the Drake game, with the fumbles and him getting dinged up, It is fair game to question, but not because it wasn't a high percentage play. It has converted every time when called upon in those exact situations.

    In one of the earlier games this year we lined up a TE or someone with size in the backfield and when QV was on top of the pile he came and pushed him from behind to get an extra yard  or so.  I assumed that was part of the formation/play and thought it was creative.  We didn't do that in this situation and am wondering if the earlier TE push was ad lib but if we'd done it here we probably get the first down.

    Quick question on digital tickets.  I bought quite a few extra tickets for friends.  

    Question.  for me to transfer tickets to them, do they need the app?   or does the digital ticket work without the app?

    for the Drake game I opened the tickets and took screen shot of the barcodes.  Texted the pics to someone and they used them to get into the game.
