Looks like a cramp for smith …. Fake punt here?

Would like to see some throws beyond the line of scrimmage. Like the pass attempt to louder, just good defense. I’ll take points. Go get a stop. Get MacNaboe goin again!

I’ll take the FG. All things considered that was a good hold. Let’s go get some points and stay in this.

Wow, nice!

Almost guarantee this will get called. He was looking for the ball, jumped late and tried to protect himself.

Pride of NDSU Seth anderson there

Sucks when they called the same thing the other way earlier

Ventrelli … woof! Would have liked to see tommy get that off. He was looking deep.

Have to bounce back here, can’t let them take all the momentum.

This offense…. Puke!

Horse$hit PI call

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34488025/college-football-bottom-10-zeroing-worst-teams-country College football Bottom 10: Zeroing in on the worst teams in the country .....Nebraska coming in at #10 .... clearly putting their recent issues and NW loss under a microscope. This is not the dominant program it used to be, but they are not a bottom 10 team either. Regardless, I would love to see UND make this a competitive game, get some confidence, and why the hell not .... get out of there with a W. haha

Unless there is an injury or something, the Buckner thing just doesn't make sense to me.

Any injury report on the Huskers? Curious to know how they came out of their game on Saturday.

True, just meaning the Valley tends to be extra physical in that area. Only team that can get away with a one pony stable is Cal Poly and the legendary Joe Protheroe.

In the Valley, you better hope you have more than 1 solid RB. These guys get beat up and wore down. Every team needs a committee if they want to be successful. Now if you have a committee because nobody stands out, then I agree. Sounds like we have multiple guys that stand out and that is a recipe for success on the ground.

Yeah, maybe not so much designed runs, but certainly needs to be aware when there is 15 yards of open field in front of him and he needs 5 or 6. I don't expect him to be running the Brockstar formation, but it is more awareness than ability.

Absolutely, by no means am I saying a 2 QB system works. Just calling out what is needed for it to be efficient every game. At this point I don't really think team have to prepare much for 2 QBs as you know primarily what they will be asked to do when they are in their. Both need to expand their skills sets and their game mentality before it really makes opponents uncomfortable. I certainly hope they can do this because I would like to see Tommy run more and more effectively and I would like to see Q throw more and more accurately. We will see what happens.

Stud may not have had the raw talent of Tommy but he was a tough SOB. Not that he didn't have tools but he definitely didn't have what Tommy does. If he had, and had not been stuck with Rudy, who know what he could have done. He sure made some great throws in that comeback win against N. AZ to win the Big Sky.

Call it what you want ... gimmick, smoke and mirrors, etc. I think its utilization really comes down to IF Tommy can run AND Quincy can throw. Without that you lose unpredictability and without unpredictability you lose effectiveness. If Quincy can come in on short yardage and consistently have a 15 -20 yard throw in the mix, and Tommy can pick up 6-7 yard first down runs periodically then this could work. Defenses have typically know how to prepare for the QB changes because our QBs have been limited to their strengths. Have they expanded on those? I sure hope so.

This!

Safe to say that if we can't outperform this poll, we need to seriously reevaluate this program. Given how close we were in so many games last year with only improved experience and depth in "most" areas, we should appear much further along. Have to prove ourselves in the thought process, but finish outside the top 25 and miss the playoffs and I have some serious questions. Personally, I think we will end the season in a good place, but I'm always optimistic this time of year.

Take the bickering to a different thread, this is about 2022 UND football. McFooly is an antagonist. Even a NDSU fan should be able to see that. To slight either UND or SDSU indoor practice facilities because they have a indoor track is pure stupidity. Why wouldn't you build a facility to be as efficient as possible. and Yes, NDSU has also done a nice job with several of their facilities, I can't imagine Tom Miller getting on the radio and saying anything otherwise. As for Hockey, of course UND is going to put their focus on that. It may be a niche sport, but it has been very successful and very profitable for the UND. Does that mean every school should have it? No, and while I love seeing college hockey expand, having it some be so large bring some of the charm to it; you really get to know some of the other programs. My personal opinion, I would love to see NDSU have hockey. I think it would be a great immediate rivalry game and as we have seen with other new programs, there is potential for early success. Though that isn't going to happen and that's. Now can we stop the pissing match about irrelevant crap and get back to UND's Fall season?

Sounds like Romfo is just outplaying him. Nice to see Romfo step up, but disappointing if Feeney is looking average after sounding like such a big recruiting get and having time in the program. That being said Feeney still has plenty of time in this program to develop and grow into a great player. I know I was really impatient with Quincy right away as well. He was this big kid with some nice recruiting accolades and switch to UND from Old Dominion. He has had his flashes, but certainly had his flaws. Sounds like he has had some nice moments in practice this Fall though and hopefully his contributions will continue. I get the saying of if you have two QBs, you don't have any. Though Tommy and Quincy have such opposite styles I feel like you can use them as you need against different defenses and situationally. I still think one of my favorite Quincy snap was a 3rd or 4th and 1. Everyone in the building though Q was going to push it up the middle and instead there was a shovel pass or a handoff to Skokna who took it to the sideline and burned the defense for big yardage. I don't think I've seen that play run since.

I've been reading all of Tom Miller's practice summaries, along with the UNDFootball360 position group reviews and they are definitely getting me excited for the season. I've never though Tom was overly optimistic about the UND Football team. Not in a bad way, I think he just tries to me more realistic than fans and doesn't view the season with hope and kelly green glasses in his reporting. This season he seem a little more positive in his writeups .... not necessarily from his own perspective, but it just sounds like there have been a lot of positives to talk about at camp. Malachi Butler's name keeps popping up and could be a critical piece for us. Red Wilson sounds like he is going to be a really exciting player and a fan favorite if he is as flashy as he sounds. Glad to hear Schuster has been solid, though I'd love to hear about some long throws to go with the short ones. I wasn't sure what to expect from Elijah Klein, but he sounds like he is really impressing. Hoping the coaches use him effectively with high fades to the corner of the end zone and some back shoulder throws. We say it every year, but there seems to be plenty of talent on this roster. Looking at how close we were in so many games last year and adding another year of experience (and hopefully some better coaching decisions) I'm feeling pretty positive about the season. Would love to see a breakthrough year for UND football!
