Schmidt was definitely an upgrade in coaching. I wonder now that the continuity provided by keeping Freuchte is no longer needed if Schmidt will bring in a new OC. Offense was definitely the problem in the second half of the season, and Freuchte did come off a little arrogant.
This is my thought as the next step needed for the program to take the next step.

7-5 - Bubba Ball 2.0
Bubba was worse … but 7-5 is not acceptable. Can’t go 0-3 vs other Dakota Schools. Can’t lose more than 1 FCS game per year … this is sh*t
need better players and better coaches … surprise, surprise

NFL goes strictly by record, nothing subjective about it.
Even winning you have ADs in a Smokey room so to speak determining seeds and byes.
it’s kind of a joke
Have you seen 3rd and 4th tier wild card tie-breakers in NFL?
ADs in a Smokey room doesn’t supersede the AQ bids… if you win, it all works out.
CFB playoff system has its own similar issues.
Difficult to objectively assess all teams when there’s well over 100 programs per subdivision.
that god damn pairwise with college hockey (far less teams, a completely different sport to compare, with different scheduling complexities ) is not apples to apples comparison …
but don’t get me wrong, college football playoffs could be improved; seeding the top 16 has been a good start.

I enjoy UND Football, but come playoff time Hockey is way ahead of football. There should never be a question on who is in the playoff and who is out. As a guy that like things black and white, I hate the FCS playoffs system.
Yeah, just need to not be on the bubble. College football playoff system (FBS) has the same issue if you’re on the bubble …
Technically high school football and NFL have similar concerns for teams that are on the fringe also…
All in all, the response is simply win and leave no doubt.

What is Chase Mason's availability?
Honestly, I would anticipate 100% that he plays and only be surprised if he’s not playing come game time. The playoffs start on November 22nd….

Craig Haley is the enemy; he’s a fargo ag college groupe who eats NDSU propaganda for breakfast, lunch, and dinner …
I hope y’all realize that UND football has been facing two opponents regularly through the years, especially since 2011, on and off the field (including in recruiting): NDSU and the public’s perceptions fueled by fargo garbage
after nearly 15 years, time to end all that
UND should be the FCS’s new SDSU: always seated at the table with ag college, instead of being blackballed consistently
Ironically, UND has an opportunity to make that case this weekend against … wait for it … SDSU

If Jerry had gotten playing time last year, I would agree with you.
But that stupid decision to not play him in obvious garbage time situations is costing us now.
Jerry would have progressed more this season if he hadn't rode the bench all last season.
Not sure some garbage time snaps last season would change the current situation for a QB going into their 12th start, but sure …….

Freuchte can make his life easier by just calling easy to execute plays when we need a couple yards. He’s gotta stop with asking Jerry to throw it clear across the field when a slant would do just fine. Or if we have it first and goal at the 3. Just run it 4 times and kick the extra point. Also, get back to using the TEs for Christ’s sake!
Agree with this approach, certainly.
The strength of the team is the defense and the offensive line, so we need to call offensive plays accordingly. We’ve got away from that the past few weeks. It shouldn’t be hard to run downhill and then use play-action, but we’ve been our own worst enemy. Too many jet sweeps with Hoskins; or repeatedly going to wide zone with Seidl which occasionally results in losing yards; or calling 5-step drops with prolonged progression throws for Jerry Football...just get back to the basics… then you can be creative once you’ve actually established the L.O.S. … need to strike that balance
the offensive regression has been concerning, but South Dakota State in the Alerus this weekend will be just what we need to right the ship …

Football is a team sport and consists of three phases. Offense, defense and special teams
Unds defense has been lights out this year. One of the best in the FCS. They haven’t given up a single 20 point game in the MVFC games and haven’t allowed a 400 yard game in conference play including four straight games of under 300 yards ( 221, 270, 268, 252). That’s impressive in the way the game is played nowadays. Fantastic turnaround from years past. Although Injuries are adding they have been a very composed, focused and hungry unit. Hats off to the D.
UNDs offense on the other hand is in disarray. OC doesn’t seem capable of running a D1 offense and Jerry has been below average the last 3 games. Sawyer is about the only offensive player capable of making plays. Hard to win games and score points when you rely on one guy and he is not the qb.
The first 8 games of the year when the offense was playing decent UND outscored its opponents 191-40 (24.9-5.0) in the first half. The last 3 games ….21-31 ( 7.0- 10.3 ) 7 points at the half of all three games. Absolutely horrible ! It’s a team sport and the offense isn’t getting it done. Looking at the four losses the offense had a chance to win it in the end but failed. They played decent in the first 3 qtrs and failed in the 4th. They have the talent on the offensive side to be much better than what they’re showing. Can it be corrected ?
I guess UND is where a kicker goes to become an untrusted kicker. Most of their recruits had really good accolades. That puts Schmidt in a bad spot in close/ competitive games. Doesn’t trust his kicker and now can’t trust his offense. Flip a coin and roll with it I guess. Both options make me nervous……couldn’t imagine being the HC for those calls.
Their D can carry this team only so far . At some point the offense and special teams has to step up and become D1 level. It’s a team effort and currently it’s one sided.
If UND makes the playoffs the offense is going to have to make a significant jump in production for und move on to the next rounds or it could be an early exit once again.
Agree- Defense is lights out. Offense is regressing with time, not developing/improving. Coaching there is a concern. Special teams would be fine if no blocked punts and had an actual field goal kicking unit …
Thankfully, you know what they say: defense wins championships. This team is built for playoff turmoil

Even if we do make the playoffs after a loss next week, it will be an undeserved berth. A win next week should get us another home game the week after.

Won’t lose … however I strongly suspect SDSU to be able to play their best QB (Mason) next week, so it’ll be a battle. But UND should want no different. Iron sharpens iron. Take care of business.

I would jump on the OC IF we had a great QB.
We don’t. OC can call all sorts of plays but if QB has no touch, over throws short passes and under throws long passes, Coach Walsh couldn’t look good.
Well, of course we’d be better if the players were better. That’s always obvious. But for now, the QB is coached by said OC, all year, day after day. They are connected at the hip. You can’t throw the kid under the bus if the coach could be enhancing their play.

True. Hopefully the marketed “701 moving company” is finally discovered to be actually utilized in the games by the 12th game of the season (South Dakota St.)

Technically the program went from 5-7 to 7-5. That is an improvement but it is not the standard. UND football needs to be competing with ag college every year, so #1 and nattys is the standard now.
**I expect a big jump from year 1 to year 2 with at least 9 wins. LGH
