So Mackey made a mental mistake leading to a TD? Huh.......

Hahn is in town for an official visit this weekend.

This, this and this........I really want to see more of the guys you have listed on there. I've also actually been impressed with Idowu at OLB, and it appears that Finley has disappeared off the two deep. Is he hurt or have the coaches benched him (or was I missing something)? I just think that with what seems to be a lost season (although the schedule does lighten considerably after this weekend) we need to get some game experience for a lot of the younger players and see what they've got. Also agreed on Henson from the other posts. He basically just stands up with the center and that's it. Needs to take on two guys at least, and if he is one on one needs to make more plays. I've heard that Cheatom isn't there with knowing the playbook, but he should also be playing before Henson. For some reason, even though this has been a complete bummer of a year, I still hold out hope that the younger players are who we think they are

I was only able to watch the first half and then caught bits of the second. Overall I didn't think the defense played all that bad from what I saw, but we were playing Idaho State. I was impressed with a few plays that Kuksa made, and think he has the potential to be that ball hawking safety that we have lacked for a while (dumb personal foul penalty notwithstanding). Thought the tackling was a little bit better today as well, but again you have to take a look at who we were playing. Offense looked good in the first half with the running game and the short passing game, but sounds like everything went to hell in the second half. I'm also amazed at how many stupid plays the team continues to make. I mean, it seems like any time we need a stop, we might get one and then there's a personal foul. Or the punt return team. How many times have we forced a punt and then an offsides or other stupid penalty gives the other team a first down. Overall, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't win another game this year. I think UC-Davis and Northern Colorado are the best bets for potential wins, but Sac St and Portland St have went from potential wins to likely losses in my mind. I'd love to be proven wrong, but that's how it seems. I just wish we'd get to see younger players like Labat, Rich, Butler, Sparks, etc. How much did Cheatom play today? I'm just sick of seeing the upperclassmen out there not being effective and still getting all sorts of playing time. Do the coaches favor older players? Are the younger guys not as good as these older guys? If it's the second, then we're in trouble in the future as well...

Well you could definitely hang the "playing time" carrot in front of his face

What the hell?

Another terrible penalty.

There's a surprise - personal foul on the punt to give ISU a first down. Not shocked.

The pessimist in me says ISU scores before the half. Thoughts?

TD Shaugs

and und with a pick

mollberg makes some terrible decisions....

Who was the PF on during that third down drop? Anyone catch the number?

Not surprised.....

anyone else sense that fake coming?

TD Jake

these short passes are working well - i dont recall using them much the last couple weeks.

and we have a three and out.

Kuksa nice breakup

miller misses short fg

nice drive thus far

New whites look pretty nice - UND will start with the ball. Even though we've had some disappointment, I'm excited! Let's see some progress!

Only UND could screw up a roughing the kicker with an offsetting penalty. Alright - enjoy everyone I'm out.

Yep - the black and white doesn't work for me. Glad we made a stop before I'm leaving to give me some hope that I'll see a positive note at when I get home

Well, glad that the wife and I are heading out for our anniversary festivities soon.....nothing to see here.
