UND-FB-FAN

I would vote for all black helmet. Would allow for “black out” game

Adapt or get left behind. UND needs to stay ahead of the curve. Learn from 2004-2007 debacle (years NDSU was DI, UND stayed DII).

Feeney ship is sailing fast it sounds like … but time will tell.

That for the past 10+ years has been a topic of contention. UND and the Alerus Center just need to work together on it and get it right. Effort and vision (expectations), two keys pieces to a good result here and it is often lacking.

I would love a statement game, but for right now I am just hoping UND wins and is the better team in the 4th quarter. I know this is an emphasis (finishing games; be better in the 4th) but need to see it come to fruition. UND’s 4th quarters, including at the Alerus Center, have been not good the past season plus.

If you rewatch the game, there were called deep passes. They weren’t hit on; either missed throw or pressure/sack like you said. That’s why the average YPA stayed low. There is some truth to that low number, it needs to improve. More explosiveness = more points for our favorite team. hard to nickel-and-dime it down the entire field without a procedural penalty (especially on the road in front of 90,000) to screw up the drive. At the Alerus Center, the nickel-and-dime it plan works a bit better as long as UND offense is disciplined throughout.

For 2022, you are correct. although Simon Romfo has me curious for the future Don’t sleep on the transfer portal in this day and age of college football …

Uphill battle ahead of him as a throwing QB, misses on a lot of throws. Needs to work in that. he is an athlete though, always potential to use him in QB running packages or move him to different position ultimately only time will tell, but that is current outlook- still young player

Don’t get me wrong, Nebraska’s 5 star receiver made the play and deserves credit. As for what UND could’ve done, just comes down to making plays sometimes. Nothing more technical than that. Some athletes are better than others. One of the reasons that receivers and defensive backs with pure talent are so highly sought after.

UND defensive back screwed up against Trey Palmer for NU. It happens. 1 on 1 battles occur between the lines every game; you win some, you lose some. UND lost that 1 on 1 and it cost them big time in terms of momentum. Gotta move on and improve. As for deep shots, UND called them, just either missed the throw (on Schuster) or didn’t have enough time leading to strip sack (on offensive line). Overall, UND’s QB and OL both made mistakes on Saturday. Room to improve. 17 points not enough to win consistently. I suppose can give them a pass since 3 freshmen were starting on the line, but after several seasons, where’s the depth?

I think this is a good idea. I may give it a try also.

No, Freund definitely goes to the slot plenty. In fact, Belquist (last year’s leading receiver) lines up there quite a bit. I’m excited to see what Red Wilson can do this season; he’ll line up some in the slot. He looked good all fall camp and was very quick against Nebraska’s secondary. He’s got a lot of potential if he can stay healthy.

Oh shut it. You’re dating yourself. Your only credential is being a Fargo bizon rep so that doesn’t mean anything. Air Force was making plays all over the field; they were just way faster and more athletic than UNI. oh, and by the way, since you know so much, you would know that defenses play against option football (meaning defensively they have adjust against players being optioned against) every single week. Options are in everyone’s playbook. Triple option, read option, jet option, inside veer, and even the newer RPO stuff. Sure the triple option flex bone packages used by the service academies are unique, but they have the same concepts. Watch the tape and stop being a know it all asshole; Air Force was getting to the edge on everything and blown assignments were only part of the program. Air Force just had way better athletes and that doesn’t say much for UNI …

48-17 isn’t just a scheme lapse Danny boy …

There were some issues for Northern Iowa that can’t be ignored. Hungry or not, UNI rush defense looked bad and UND needs to win or overall outlook for 2022 UND season will be bleak.

Highlights: Northern Iowa @ Air Force 9/3/22

The success of the team will speak for itself. Need to keep fans coming back with good performances. Also, can’t take pressure off of UND athletic department and the Alerus Center - they can continue to improve the experience as well independent of the football team’s performance. I mean, just look at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln (extreme example but stay with me); you can have several consecutive losing seasons and still have an incredible home-field atmosphere.

absolutely, no arguing here. You always want a receiver that can catch - number one skill - but after that the more speed/explosiveness the better. UND has guys that can catch but they are all 4.6 guys and no 4.3 guys. There is room for improvement in recruiting in this area, but it’s a challenge because all the FBS teams are attracting the 4.3 guys.

Happened last year at Utah State… been happening over and over again

Big game for UND vs UNI 2 simple things for me: 1) always will emphasize turnovers and penalties. Und won turnover battle at Nebraska but lost in terms of penalties. UND needs to be disciplined in home opener vs UNI. 2) biggest thing I will be looking for will be how UND performs in the 4th quarter. As I’ve said, going back to all of 2021 including @ Utah State and vs NDSU, and even now with the one game in 2022 (at Nebraska), UND has not been good in the 4th quarter. I want to see UND be the better team in the 4th quarter on Saturday and start finishing games to show improvement relative to 2021.

Keep telling yourself whatever to inflate your gentle, sensitive ego. It obviously needs it given how frequently you visit this UND site.

No, you have. You’ve gathered a ton of garbage with no factual basis - just speculation - from various bizon sources, probably bozoville, and reposted here via word diarrhea. And it somehow is now factual discourse with you criticizing UND? we are all supposed to just listen/read these facts from someone named “fueled by ramen” and take it for fact? Man, you epitomize Fargo U syndrome perfectly. You can stop spewing B.S. any time now - we won’t miss it. In fact, you’re way off topic and derailing everything.

False, recency bias is a major factor in reality. What have you done for me lately? bizon bizon bizon Fargo U, ad nauseam, damn it gets old with you bumpkins

This attempt at minimization is not factual at all. I hate NDSU athletics as much as the next UND fan, but you can’t argue their football success has done absolutely nothing for their athletic department and university.

Oh you can definitely fault him because he lost on that play. But even though that was a huge play in terms of momentum, it ultimately is just one play, and you have to move on.
