With an absolutely crazy weekend of youth sports, I haven't had a chance to give my thoughts, other than a few frustrations early in the game yesterday. I said it last week and I will say it again; this is a game we lose last year. Last year we had one score losses, this season we have 2 one score wins. That is progress folks! This was ugly for the majority of the game. Just UGLY! BUT...... we won! Thats what matters. Not only did we win, but we won on the road. Take this into next week! Big showdown at SIU. You could say they will have confidence. You could say this could be a trap game for them given the big time win. I could care less what it is; I just want to see us play our game and get a W. The next two weeks are huge for our season and UND needs to make progress each week (ahem ... secondary). Siegel made a nice play, but I thought I saw him miss on a few plays too. D line needs to get more pressure this week. Would love to see Danny get to open up the playbook a little earlier. Trick plays can't happen all game, but let's not wait until the very end of the game to light some fireworks. Congrats to @Wright4UND and family on Jack's TD ... it was a big one! Way to go there! Bo is such a stud, and what and all out effort to get in the end zone. This is not a slight to the Bison and I don't need stupid responses but given who his dad is and that they could have likely had him in Fargo, they have to be wishing they had offered the kid. Congrats to Bo and just being a dude! Keep it up! Keep it goin boys! Also prop to Danny for some of those calls and to Bubba for giving him the flexibility!

Probably santiago?

Can kauppenen graduate yet?

I missed the start. Do we get the ball to start the second half?

Wow, guess we didn’t want to finish the half.

7 of them

Keep movin the chains!

Great pitch and catch there. Let’s get some momentum now.

Seriously? Enough with the high snaps

Watching a game with no sound is just annoying

What is our O line doing? Getting manhandled at the moment.

Cant blame the altitude in the first quarter.

Can we wake up now?

This is horrendous. Wtf are we doin?

Just turned the game on, this is pretty sad so far.

Can't blame him if he is looking at the historical performances. That being said, I'm going UND and I think it'll be by 2 scores. I would like to hope this will be a tone setting game. Not a statement game, but set the tone for how we play on the road.

That would be a pretty interesting stat if monitored right.

Have to set a tone for how we play on the road all season.

How did their O line look? Can't imagine they are bigger and tougher than UNI's. Would be great to dial up some pressure early and get in the QB's head.

UNI is a game we would have lost last year. Tightly played game. One score game. This was a step forward in my opinion. In the past several year, any time UND has won a game like this and got the fans thinking we were moving in the right direction, they have typically followed it up was a bad loss. One step forward, two steps back. This is the next thing UND needs to handle as a program. Win the games you are supposed to win. Be the team that took it to Nebraska and played effectively against UNI. Definitely concerned with our DBs right now, so hoping Holinka has some good schemes. Tommy needs to just replicate his game from last week. No complaints there, but would love to see Maag get in the mix if he can. The guy only has so much time left here and it would be nice to see some more shots down the field. Anyone hear anything about Smith? He was definitely hobbling a bit on Saturday, hoping he is good to go, but like was Hoosman brings as well. Wouldn't mind mixing in some more Ziebarth. Unfortunately, I'll likely be watching this one on delay again, as I'll have kids sports all day. Can't wait though!

Your QB hate is exhausting. Tommy is not a perfect QB, but he doesn't "suck" by a long shot either. He may not dazzle, but he certainly makes plays and limits errors. Show me the FCS quarterback that plays a flawless game week in and week out.

Well better late than never! Spent my day at kids sports and got to watch the game this evening. I generally hate watching games after the fact, as I am wondering if I am wasting my time .... only to be disappointed. Well this was a fun game. Ups and downs. Times where I thought, Here we go!!!! and here ... we ... go ... again... Not a perfect game, but what a job to get it done! Timely plays on D (big sacks) and a few really nice throws by Tommy. The TD pass to Belquist was a thing of beauty. On to next week. We should jump in the rankings, and UNI will definitely jump in the rankings with that loss!

Thought I read/heard that Mitchell's injury didn't heal correctly and he had to have another surgery or something. Not sure if he will play at all this year or not. I would assume he would be eligible for a medical redshirt, but who knows. Skokna is good in certain areas, but I'm not sure he has ever been used in a way that is totally effective. Seems like the kind of guy you need to adjust your scheme for rather than asking him to fit into your scheme. At least that is my very amateur take on it. Also agree Red Wilson can probably fill this role and do it better. That isn't a knock on Skokna, I just this Wilson is going to be a dude.

This is another reason to have more than 1 logo. Or at least another variation of our current logo. More options for this type of stuff, as well as merchandise.

Just my opinion, I think we are going to be pretty decent at WR this year. Belquist is a stud. Maag has yet to live up to his potential, hoping it clicks soon. I don't want another Toivenen where he was good in college, but seemed to just pop after college. I get Toivenen is not an every Sunday player (yet), but he has made some catches that I couldn't imagine him making when he was at UND. His hand have really improved. Red Wilson was a great addition. I'm very excited to see what Klein can bring. I thinkg Wright will be a solid dependable receiver. Throw Marcus Preston in the mix. There are tools in the toolbox. Can't forget to mention Caden Dennis as a receiver I'd expect a lot of out next season.
