I agree but there is some hope. We need to sign more impact athletes and we've gotten commitments for next year look very solid, if we can keep most of them. That's where it starts.

Most of this is just not on the ST coordinator. Schmidt has said that the entire staff is involved in the ST game planning and they take pride in that. The ST coach is not responsible for a kicker missing a kick. It is an individual skill like shooting a 3 pointer or FT in basketball. Should the bb coach be fired when a kid misses a shot? The kickers we have were well regarded out of hs. It is up to them to make a kick when they get a chance. I also believe that they decide as a staff who to recruit and are each responsible for an area. Kostich is not the only one evaluating recruits. Agree the safety is on the special teams as a whole but also on the offense too. Punter wasn't at his normal depth because only got 2 yards from the 1 in 3 plays prior to that, including a penalty.

I will never understand this. Anything that is good for your closest rival and helps them is by definition detrimental to you. Whether it's in recruiting players or competition for fans, media recognition, sponsorships or other $$, it's just a negative for you.

A lot of the SU fans were good yesterday but also a bunch of a-holes. Walked in the SE entrance before the game. An SU couple in their 40's were looking at their phones and asking each other where to go right after they got thru the ticket scan. Being a nice guy I asked if they needed any help. The woman turned away from me and in a huff said "we've got this". She still had no idea where to go but wasn't gonna give me the satisfaction of helping her out. My wife said I should have offered that they go thru the glass doors to the outside that said NO RE-ENTRY and to the special NDSU section. Also got accosted by some jackass college age guys as we walked up the stands leaving the game. Unfortunately I wasn't smart enough to ignore them and we had some back and forth.

Kicking is very much like a golf swing. I had the shanks in my sr year through fall camp and I was the only kicker on the roster. Kicked a ton of balls, got my 'swing' back and had a good year but it was iffy for a while.

SU fans can say all they want about this game being UND's Superbowl but it was extremely important to the Bisons as well. I've never seen a coaching staff react to penalties and beg for calls they way the SU staff did. Lots of hystreonics from both the HC and his assistants. I can't believe the HC didn't get 15 yards for screaming, swinging his head set toward the LJ, and jumping up and down wanting a facemask. Unless they are just that much of a PIA all the time.

Agree but we gotta have a TE or FB that is big enough to run the sneak. We maybe win if Z if there to handle some of those goal line plays.

agree. but it doesn't even have to be Jerry. Bring in someone else to do it like we did with Q.

No lies detected

Simple to me. Run the damn ball at the 6 inch line with 2 downs left and again at the 2 with 4 cracks at it. also get under center on short yardage. We lived on the sneak with Q in those situations. Maybe Jerry’s not that guy but find a TE or FB that is good at that. Do those two simple things and we’re all celebrating tonight.

Nice D stand.

Run the f’n ball

Thanks

What was Schmidt mad about on timeout? Late sub, 12 men?

We drove up from TC today. With 3:00 games we drove up in morning and were tailgating by 11:00

It's wild that they are charging $90 per ticket. I believe our season tickets were $160 for 6 games. Quite a bargain.

It's his schtick. 'Getting jobbed' is a key phrase.

Now that's funny.

Didn't get to see the game but sounds like we didn't play great for most of it. Would be nice to get that last drive and steal one. We had that chance both at Montana and yesterday. Difference for me over recent past is that we don't have to be perfect to have a chance to win. Good defense and QB play will do that for you. Jerry has been great but is only in first year as starter and will get better. If we can hold onto our commits we will have a super freshman class next year and expect the same with future classes. Way ahead of schedule from what I expected. With that said we've got a great opportunity this year to make a lot of noise if we can win a couple more games in regular season. It all helps build for the future.

He was hoping it was an ankle.

BS flag on the return. now Caden Dennis coming out party.

Are we not allowed to run the ball?

Heard Reusse say yesterday the NCAA is talking about going to 5 years of eligibility straight up. No redshirt or juco bonus years impact anything but can play for 5 years. Not sure how serious or close that is. Quick search shows they are considering a "5 in 5" model. Would grant 5 years of eligibility over a 5 season span. A similar plan is farther along for DII

As they should.
