UND-FB-FAN

This offensive line issue was kind of overlooked by many. If they don't improve soon, UND may have a real down year ...

I agree with this. Bowling Green's defensive speed is too much for UND; have to counter that with more power runs inside. Of course, the UND offensive line needs to step up for this to be successful.

Defense isn't the problem. All things considered, that unit looks pretty darn good. Just have to eliminate big plays. As for the offense, they are the problem. Just atrocious. The offensive line and the running game is the source of it all. Of course, Studsrud could play better, also.

Deion Harris having himself a game! 2 interceptions and a pick-six! UND's defense is playing top notch of late! Offense has to get it together and then this game could be in reach!

Field goals won't win this game, but it's a start. Have to flip the switch for the offense at some point.

Another UND offensive penalty. This group is sloppy.

God dammit UND's offense is horrible

FLOP

UND needs to score (7) on this drive.

UND offense is !@#$

Two consecutive three and outs for UND offense ... That will get them blown out real fast. Rudolph and company need to get their !@#$ together.

Offensive line continues to show issues ...

Great defensive opening for UND! 3 and out

This espn3 tv coverage on WDAZ xtra is superb. Just great.

Hoping UND can win the damn thing win,win,win starting 0-2 would be a tough situation given the preseason expectations

This is correct. Check out the game on 596 in Grand Forks. Great to have this game televised! Go Hawks!

Or if Studsrud doesn't fumble in SBU territory. Or if Georges doesn't fumble on the goal line. Or if UND converts on the 4th & 1 near the end of the game. The score is kept for the entire game. Not accusing you of dismissing that, but it is easy to overlook so that's why I mention it here. Armchair quarterbacking is all about picking out single plays here and there and not looking at the big picture. UND was great on defense. On offense, however, it was like they forgot to get off the bus. They didn't play UND offensive football AT ALL! Poor ball security with lost fumbles and inability to run the ball on first down and short yardage is NOT how UND wants to play offense. Bubba and Rudolph and, most importantly, the offensive players need to fix that, and fast.

Couldn't agree more. Last week, against Stony Brook, UND didn't play their game offensively. This week, against Bowling Green, UND needs to focus better offensively and get the job done. Defense needs to keep improving, also.

UND needs to get their offensive line in check. Defense is already in mid-season form, but until the offense can start consistently running the ball again, UND wont be a winning ball club. Heres to hoping the offense finds its running game this Saturday! Go Hawks!

This is the most true in terms of bringing in a larger following.

Annual road trips to Fargo, Brookings, Vermillion, and/or Cedar Falls would be very nice.

Quarterback is a *fairly* important position. I would also add the offensive line to the list, They also have some issues with depth; not convinced they have any all-conference types beyond maybe 1 or 2 players.

That sounds good and all, but there are 10 games left in 2016. Now is not the time to change that. I do agree, though, that recruiting yet has a ways to go. Stony Brook loss is still disappointing to me. Really hurts odds.

Yes, UND best be able to actually run the ball on them. We'll see.

Gonna be hard for UND to really hold Bowling Green's scoring down. The key is turnovers and UND's offensive line play. If UND can run the ball and protect the ball, UND has a shot. Santiago and Oliveira both need to have big games. No fumbles, no interceptions, and a take away or two from UND's defense and UND then has a chance.
