That is just a lot to ask from any offense every single time out. The skill is there to put up those numbers every game, but it is really tough to do. The Griz punted 9 times last Saturday. IF UND can get 4 stops a half defensively, they might have a shot. I have said this before, but with the storied defenses we have had in the past this program should never lose a game if we score 35+...even with this awful D. Someone answer me this...UND seems to have a base defense of 2 deep safeties, but yet their corners play off at a minimun of a 7 yard cushion. Why??? IF the safeties have over the top help, shouldn't UND be tighter on the line of scrimmage? Have never seen any team play sooooo soft at the corners when also in a 2 deep safety look.

Not sure what to make of all of this??? Expect to win? Most formidable run game to date? The 'Cats are soft? Excel in hostile enviroments? Not sure I'm with you on any of this. But one thing I do know...MSU is not Sac. St. UND will have to play it's best game by far this year to have any chance late in the game IMO.

I do I...

No chance! Italian Moon buffet before every hockey game.

Agree with assessment above. I really liked UND last week vs. Griz having seen Griz play earlier in year, but the 'Cats are on a different level...and at home. My gut says this one has ugly written all over it.

Griz front 7 is very solid. Problem is u, me, geaux & my 7 yr old daughter would be upgrade in their secondary

Braden made some reads and throws vs. Griz I'm sure he wants back, but he also made some throws that were flat out big time...not many FCS QBs could have made 6-8 throws he made last Saturday.

IMO that was the worst call of the day. That wasn't even close. Tough to not take the 3 points in that situation to tie the game, but that time I felt Muss made the right call. It was 4th and maybe a 1/2 a yard. Braden is what...6'5"?? He easily leaped and extended the ball well past the first down marker before he was pushed back. Really poor spot.

Well said. Hockey has nothing to due with this equation. Even though GF/UND are hockey driven, there is no reason UND shouldn't get 12K for a FB game. It's a product issue...entertaining doesn't cut it, moral victories don't cut it. Until this team beats a FBS squad and/or contends for a legit conference title not much will change IMO. To say the Sioux Falls loss didn't have a significant negative affect on this program is just ignorant. Losses like that cause borderline fans to stay away for a long time.

My brother lives in Springfield, Mo. He saw UND beat PSU and has seen MSU play. He said UND would beat MSU handily given what he has seen from both teams. So there is another MVC team UND more than likely beats as well.

$60.00 for the pair

Ding ding ding...we have a winner!

87 pages on this thread to a yes or no question? Putting everything aside...the answer is yes. Was the biggest sporting event of the year and most antiicipated when I was growing up and was until the series ended.

I saw the USD/Griz game in Missoula to start the year. USD sucks...no way UND loses to them anywhere at anytime this year. 3-4 or 4-3 is an accurate assumption. Until we beat a FBS school that game vs. CSU has a 0% chance of being won by UND.

Agree...Clark is the real deal. Hopefully he can give us 2 or 3 30+ save shut outs this year in games we are outplayed in and shouldn't win.

I believe UND had 10 yards rushing at half (over 400 thru air) so in the 6 plays to start the 2nd half we ran the ball 3 or 4 times for 2 or 3 yards...result was 2 straight 3 and outs. Not to mention running Jake between the tackles on 3rd and 3 just after they stuffed the previous run on 2nd down in 2nd half. So yes...everyone's an expert! And I don't even have 1 Madden.

Little thin skinned aren't you? How should that bother you? Like posted earlier this win was accomplished by the players...period. BTW...any guess who was far and away the most vocal about some of the coaching calls and decisions? Go back in this thread and figure it out. It was a very good win but if you want the duckies, bunnies, rainbows and dewy meadows too boot forget it...there are too many people who actually watch the games and know alittle bout FB.

Agree. This was a much needed win despite some issues.

With our inability to sustain a running game this season to date I sure hope the weather especially the wind isn't a major factor in Bozeman next Saturday. Forecast as of now hi of 38 with some sun.

Correct...problem is this won't be the only one we lose vs a team we should beat this year. It happens from time to time. But to compound it is UND rarely wins games it shouldn't or steals one on occasion. Nonetheless under the circumstances of this weekend and the travel a split isn't awful. Guess I was surprised to see we got outshot badly after the clinic that was Friday's game. Sweep next weekend and all is well.

Yes. He's a great guy. He got choked up in the game winning TD. Where were you sitting in relation to us?

And how good was the Griz punter?

Not even close. My Griz buddy was watching on TV and texted me Galloday got a toe down in end zone via replay late in 4th. Shoulda been a TD

204 Many were calling for the OC's head in the 2nd half. It was so bad one almost forgot about how the D was playing.
