Other than not closing games out, I think the most frustrating thing so far for me is the RB rotation. Leigh is a good pass catcher but he’s not a very good runner, imo. Would rather see a heavier rotation of Seidl and Ziebarth.

This is a good football team. We should be in the playoffs, no doubt. They just need to figure out how to close a damn game. So close to being 3-0 but here we sit at 1-2.

It’s Friday so maybe I’m just full of optimism but if we win this game tomorrow, I think we can be 8-1 or 7-2 going into the NDSU game.

I went to the match tonight and yeah not good. I haven’t been to a volleyball game in years so I’m by no means an expert and wouldn’t even call myself a casual but it was pretty apparent how bad we were. So many aces on us that seemed like relatively easy returns.

I was thinking about this when we played KState. Don’t notice it so much in person or when we are playing other FCS schools since most seem to not have names either. I was also thinking about adding C’s on the captains chest, saw USD did this.

Montana seems suspect at run defense. I’m going to make a call that we see multiple 100 yard rushers. I think our offense can get it done but I’m concerned about the defense.

Just because they haven’t posted on twitter doesn’t mean they’re not looking.

Fly Away after a touchdown? I think they were playing Song 2 by Blur after touchdowns on Saturday and maybe in the past too?

You make some great points.

Alerus runs the audio.

My main concern coming into this game is Eli Gillman (should be at UND). 15 for 198 and 3 TDs last weekend. Guys a beast. We managed to mostly hold him in check last year besides a 63 yard TD run. I guess on top of Gillman I would say the environment scares me a bit too. I know they played at KState already so they have the exposure but I think this could be just as tough of a place to play, if not more. Really wish I could have made the trip but I can’t wait to watch.

Would definitely expect to see Chuck but not sure if the Montana game is the right place for that. Unless they truly have been waiting to “unleash” him. I am hoping to continue to see more and more of Brunell though. Was super jacked about him when we landed him.

Nah loved that. Didn’t have to wear a mask as long as you were actively drinking a beer!

I know someone mentioned that Ziebarth is living off the NDSU game from 2 years ago. I don’t buy that. Fruechte really seems to like to balance the opportunities each RB gets. While I don’t hate that, I just think Ziebarth is one of those that is going to grind down a defense and then break it. He’s almost always going to get positive yards. I would have him and Seidl be our 1-2 punch and then X can be the pass catching back.

My big thing is nailing the hype video. I know last year there was one video they showed with like 5 mins before the game and that one was very good but the actual one they showed right before the team ran out stunk.

Here’s how the rest of the season looks currently: +5 @ Montana -23 vs Valpo -5.5 @ UNI -5 vs Youngstown -2 @ SIU -10.5 vs Indiana State -7 @ USD +11.5 vs NDSU -20.5 @ Murray State +6.5 vs SDSU

Not sure where I stood last year but I apologize if I disagreed with you. Think I just had a different mentality with Bubba at the helm.

Good move. Black jerseys ran their course, imo. Break them out once a year maybe but we treated them like our primaries for many years.

Maybe the Tav will have more than 2 people working. Place is awful for service. I like Playmakers but not much better in the aspect.

Let’s gooooo

I’m good with that. Leigh didn’t do it for me though. Can be a pass catcher, sure.

My biggest gripe with Fruechte is the lack of Ziebarth touches. I understand he fumbled the ball but he’s our best hard nosed runner. 4th quarter trying to ice the clock and we run Leigh up the middle twice? That’s not his role. 9 carries for -1 yard….. Got frustrated with the lack of Ziebarth touches last year too. He needs touches to wear the defense down. Now I don’t want to take away from Seidl either though because that kids special.
