UND-FB-FAN

For sure. Team not trending in the right direction, coaching/instruction throughout season not acceptable

Bingo. Team takes on the persona of their head coach (an old man at the end of his career)…

Offense has been fine. Stupidity all over the field on defense however. This comeback fueled by pass interference on 4th and 24 ….

Defense unacceptable last weekend against Indiana State and again poor today. Not trending the right direction with playoffs looming … last second changes to defensive staff over the off-season not impressive and what is our head coaches background again?

Yeah there’s a reason for that …

Decade by decade

Ridiculous. And the momentum that conversion brings for Murray leads to a touchdown … so frustrating I don’t care about the score. The quality of play on the field is poor (especially on defense) and that will lower the ceiling. Can this team beat USD? Can this team win a playoff game? Same ol’ same ol’

A lot of stupidity on defense in this one …

Lance Rucker! Young boys showin up in a his one … but then defensive secondary still stinks

Bright future offensively with Seidl and Tai and Kaminski/Feeney …

Solid start defensively to start the second half. Keep that going…

Doubtful. This is more about UND and whether Bubba can learn how to prepare his team for a big road game … usually you can’t teach an old dog new tricks …

Questionable time management from both coaching and officiating standpoints … but, the defense needs to execute. Can’t be this porous against bottom tier teams (Indiana State and now Murray State)

Calling that time out is fine … if you execute. Didn’t happen. So calling that timeout rightfully is questionable. Defense been sh*t this season. Also, hard to imagine that second to last play (the fourth down play) only took 1 second. Went from 0:05 to 0:04 after that throw to the middle of the field on 4th &3 …

Horrible defense most of the season. It’s sh*t

UND sucks at tackling. Indiana State game demonstrated the same thing. Need to work on that big time. In my experience, that usually means different players. Can’t teach that fundamental in the middle of the season.

Been a concern from the first game of the season, and now it hurts. With that said, Skokna’s return against NDSU was a major plus. Would argue having Skokna returning is not the same though as having Belquist or Seigel return … those are guys who are bona fide starters

Called Lennon to speak to the team again.

Correct. Score-comparing is a way to say you don’t know ball without saying you don’t know ball.

Some on here just like wins, plain and simple. Some just like to support UND blindly. Others like high quality play within the wins. Others just like to complain and play devil’s advocate. I do like the variety.

Don’t know what half of this means, but sure sounds good.

Correct. It is playoff time … sort of. There will still be plenty of prayers, hopes and excuses if (likely when) UND loses to USD.

Ha! This is good stuff right here. Love the disparity. All I know is there will inevitably be things to complain about on Saturday, but a hell of a lot more to complain about if UND loses, which would suggest that UND goes the entire season without winning a road game.

We oftentimes abandon the run too early. But I get it, because it can be hard to stick with a slow methodical approach on offense when this team feeds off big plays and momentum. This is a very finicky team in terms of mindset. Easily swayed by big plays. Momentum affects this team more than most. NDSU game was perfect storm as UND had the momentum from the get-go. Not to keep beating a dead horse here, but I think this finicky mindset is in part due to how they’re coached day in and day out. Players are conditioned to this. I keep hearing this is a player led group, which is good, but additional leadership would be nice (and is basically required if you want to be a deep playoff team).
