UND has 6 road games next season. They went 1-5 on the road this season. Schuster will be better in the end then Kett but not next year. 7 is the max. 6 most likely with this road schedule. 5 a firm possibility. In the end UND doesn't make playoffs in first year in the MVC.
This is an 11 game schedule......did UND opt not to schedule a 12th again for next season?
UND has 6 road games.....at best they'll win 3 (1-5 this season). I can see 7-4 but more likely 6-5. I think they lose to SDSU at home and go 2-4 on the road.
"Where does the program currently sit?"
If there's a list of potentially 8 areas that are deficient within a program that's been under the leadership of a head coach for 6 years IMO there's one thing that needs to be addressed immediately.
Asked about punting on 4th and 6 with 6 minutes to go and down two scores Bubba replied "little too long of yardage........As I look back, we should've gone for it".
Serious question.....when does attendance or lack thereof become part of the equation? Averaged 8300 which was down 11% from last season. If next year's average is below 8000 then what and that's a strong possibility.
The students are completely disinterested in this program. I believe season ticket holders are and have been on the decline.
UND has to play NDSU , SDSU and USD every year going forward.........be happy UND made the playoffs 2 out of the past 6 years under Bubba. UND won't sniff the playoffs out of the MVC with Bubba as the HC.
