Deion Harris getting beat like a drum ...

Like clockwork

Ketteringham looks good out there Maag with nice gain punt after late throw from Ketteringham on 3rd and 3 goes incomplete damn Toivonen is slow

Fumble was a bummer defense almost got the stop again but couldn’t withstand short field given up by offensive turnover offense now out there again

typical rudolph

UND gets the stop to start the game. Defense can play with these guys ... need to maintain confidence

Oregon crushing Portland State 56 -14 with 5 minutes remaining in 4th QTR

There’s always a chance .... Thats why they play the games! >90% mental ... gotta believe Bubba and boys!!!

Yes, go Men ...

Go UND Fighting Hawks

Damn you smart. Go for the win Bubba and boys ... GO UND FIGHTING HAWKS!

Drastically win the turnover battle. Protect the ball on offense, force and recover fumbles on defense, grab a couple picks. That is the basic recipe for all games, big or small.

I have nothing to lose with my prediction just as UND has nothing to lose going out to Seattle and playing aggressive football. I’m not putting any money down on this. I just ask that UND play their hearts out for 60 minutes. The coaches need to have some balls out there also. Ketteringham has an arm - use it. Rudolph has a brain - use it. UND 28 Washington 24

Get out of here. A game that is meaningless? WRONG. The experience the players get from this game will carry through for the rest of their careers! Which environment is more intimidating: Husky Stadium or the FargoDome? If UND plays Washington close or wins, is it meaningless then? That momentum could carry through for the remainder of the season. After all that, you probably will still be correct in that UND will lose by a lot. But that doesn't make you realistic or a football expert; it makes you someone who takes the easy way out. I want UND football under Bubba to challenge expectations and look to exceed the status quo. The status quo, if that is what UND fans truly expect, is the easy way out and won't lead UND to the playoffs anytime soon. The status quo is not favorable for UND football - people outside of UND don't expect UND to be FCS playoff material this season or anytime soon. UND (including us fans) need to challenge that.

I disagree. UND is FCS. Washington is top 10 FBS and hung with a top 10 Auburn team in basically a road game; Washington is expecting to blow UND out by 50+. With that said, UND still needs to play a very smart, physical football game to prevent a blowout from happening. Washington, with the homefield advantage, is definitely talented enough to get away with overlooking UND if UND doesn’t play a clean game.

In the game of football, there’s alway a chance. As a UND fan, I’m sticking with UND, even if they are big underdogs. As I’ve said before, I expect effort-filled football for 60 minutes from UND and to then see what the results may be. I’ll be hoping for a win and living with whatever the results end up being. The team needs to approach it the same way. Win or lose, get better from the opportunity and use it the rest of the season. All “UND fans” on here should be speaking more towards their hopes for a win rather than playing Nostradamus by trying to predict scores.

Great opportunity against Washington for UND football. UND needs to use it to learn how to handle noise and a hostile environment so they can turn around and whip the Ag U buffaloes in 2019 at the FargoDome. UND handled the FargoDome environment pathetically back in 2015. Go Fighting Hawks!!

UND hard at preperation to put forth the very best effort and focus against a very good Washington Huskies team.

Absolutely. A heavy pressure philosophy is a two edged sword. Schmidt is now on the sideline this year with hope he can better instruct. Cover 3 and man zone combos (cover 2 with man under) need to be called more often. The heavy blitz zero coverage calls are fine but need to be called more sparingly. Might be a tough pill for Bubba and Schmidt to swallow; they love to live and die by the blitz.

And the worst corners can’t cover for more than about 0.5 seconds. UND’s corners need to and should improve, but will it be enough? Pressuring the passer obviously is huge and helps immensely.

Hey Sensitive94, calm down and move on. They are bad (obviously based on first game), but I never said they couldn’t improve.

That would be the jackass U consensus even if UND won 100 to nothing. Conjecture means nothing. Although bad, MVSU won’t be the worst FCS team this season; guarantee it.

I agree. This year, compared to last year’s team, the outside expectations are lower for UND football though. The internal expectations need to be the same: play to win the game regardless of opponent.

Hey asshat, what if UND is not on a 2 game losing streak?
