Seibel screws up on punt Same !@#$ over and over again. Is this coaching staff sleeping over on the sideline? This is getting old.

It's time for a switch. If they don't make it, then Mollberg just isn't healthly despite reports we've heard.

Alright. Make the switch at halftime. Mollberg needs to get his shot.

I hate listening to these announcers. they have a heavy Montana bias

Well...damn

TD Montana and that's why we need touchdowns field goals look good, but they lose games

Hate to be pessimistic, but settling for 3 points there will probably lose us the game. Same situation as last three weeks ...

Thunder and lightning Olivera and Santiago keep it going

Santiago is so damn good

it's absolutely unacceptable

Need a new punt returner. I've lost my faith/trust in Seibel to make the right decision and secure it back there.

!@#$ big sky refs thats fucking bull$%!#

I swear, everytime I hear or see William James it's because he's getting beat for a TD pass.......

Wow this is fun to watch on national TV!! 3 and out on defense and 80 yd TD run by Santiago on first offensive play! Amazing start! Gotta finish though! Go UND!

Depth development is so key for UND football moving forward, and fortunately, Bubba recognizes that. Going off of 2015's recruiting class, Bubba is going to really develop the walk-on program with local emphasis, which will build up depth. With better depth, for example, UND would be 6-1 this season. In a year or two, UND will be competing for an outright Big Sky Conference championship.

Musical chairs doesn't work. Backup QB is tough to play. Give Bartels time to settle in with first team reps. He'll be better today I'm sure.

No. National TV.

I have major concerns with Rudolph and the offense. I think Coach Schmidt does a tremendous job with the defense considering the depth issues yet present from Mussman's regime, but Rudolph leaves much more to be desired.

There is a chance of making the playoffs if they lose one game; that is, they go 3-1 to finish the season. That would put them at 7-4 (5-3) with an FBS win and potentially a few wins against ranked teams (Portland State and possibly @Montana, vs Montana State, and @ Cal Poly). Obviously, though, winning out would be the best case scenario: UND DEFINITELY makes the playoffs at 8-3 (6-2).

Yes, I think UND is more than capable of winning this game. Now, that doesn't mean they will. Montana is playing a first-time starting QB and UND could easily be 6-1 right now. The return of Cole Reyes will be huge for the secondary. Also, don't discount Bartels getting his second start; he will have had a chance to clean up the mistakes that cost UND the game last weekend in Ogden, Utah. Lastly, UND has been able to run the football quite well in conference play, it just hasn't been a full-game effort. If UND can make their rushing attack as good in the fourth quarter as it has been in the first three quarters, UND will certainly have a chance to win this game. It is a must-win also; don't discount that aspect.

Safety situation needs to improve. Not enough quality depth there. Hopefully next year's class produces a couple good players at safety.

UND 28 Montana 24 Reyes comes back. Griz are playing a true freshman QB (remember when UND did that last season?). UND running game continues to produce. UND finds a way to not turn it over. Lastly, offense hangs on to the ball and finishes out the game, like vs UC Davis and @ Portland State. I will say, turnovers will kill UND's chances completely. UND needs to win the turnover battle considering the defense is facing a true freshman QB.

Fair question, and nice to go through for next season if not for anything else. QB Brad Heidlebaugh OLB Jade Lawrence RB Austin Gordon DB Vashon Tucker FB Josh Leonhard ILB Donnell Rodgers OLB Keelan Poole LB Andre Steiger DL Carter Wilson DE/OLB Mason Bennett LB Brock Shaide DL Logan Alm OL Patric Rooney OL Bryce Blair OL Justus Merz WR Carter Blackwell WR Tim Dulin P Riley Thompson TE Luke Keller FB Tony Roland DE Kemuel Denny DE Carl Engwall

I think the word "fantastic" should be reserved to describe truthfully positive, MVP-type performances. Mollberg did some nice things against Montana and PSU, but if he actually had been "fantastic", he would have put up enough points for UND to beat Montana and not be losing against PSU the entire time he was playing (Bartels actually got UND the lead later in the game and won the game against PSU last season).

Just a bad play; he anticipated the wrong route, although maybe the WR ran the wrong route. Anyone think that there might be a connection between the poor QB play and their coach/offensive coordinator (hint: same person)? Studsrud was doing nice things in the running game, but he also was struggling to progress in the passing game. I understand its easy to put blame on solely the coaches, but they play a part in this. Of course, the talent (or lack thereof) at receiver and injury to the starting QB are also to blame.......
