Rushing yards given up per game: Nebraska - 244 UNI - 115 SIU - 148 YSU - 178 SDSU - 95 ACU - 122 INST - 126 USD - 97 NDSU - 363 Weber - 330 We gave up over 200 yards rushing 3 times. Nebraska, NDSU, Weber. Is it an issue? Sure. But it's not like we are giving up huge amounts on the ground every game. Yes, we gave up a bunch the last two weeks and to very good teams. Giving up 300+ rushing yards 2 weeks in a row is alarming. ut it was definitely not the trend all season. Not saying we can't improve, but not like we were awful at stopping the run all year.

Gotta applaud the boys for never giving up. Like most of us here. Down 24-0 on the road, some teams might have given up. But these guys battled back. Obviously not the result we wanted, but man these boys deserve a lot of credit for staying in the game still trying to win till the final horn.

Never thought we would be in this position. Let’s do this!!

Season over

Game over.

Should a flag have been thrown? Maybe not. But once it was thrown, it should have remained a penalty. Unless this play was reviewed. Can't remember. There were like 30 that day!

Angle it to the sidelines every time. If it goes out of bound...perfectly fine. Ball is placed at the 35. Only 10 yards better than a touchback/fair catch. Sure beats a return down to our own 15!!

Can someone go back and tell me how many screen passes UND attempted last weekend against the Bison?> I fell it was lower than usual. Need to get back to that type of game where Tommy dumps it off and lets our playmakers go make a play.

FCS playoff committee chair Jermaine Truax explains why Montana Grizzlies made the field https://406mtsports.com/college/big-sky-conference/university-of-montana/fcs-playoff-committee-chair-jermaine-truax-explains-why-montana-grizzlies-made-the-field/article_648e48aa-69ee-11ed-a05a-5b8c74acc4e0.html So let me get this straight. Here are the reasons Montana made it into the playoff field: - "Quality loses" against the best teams in the Big Sky - Loses were when their QB was out, so....MAYBE they would have won - "Success" against MVFC teams (even though those teams finished 9th and 10th in the conference standings" - "Success" against a Southland team that finished the season 4-7 - "Student athlete experience" - The finanacial bid wasn't a factor. Got it. Makes perfect sense. Well deserved Montana!!

Silver lining....This has provided a nice distraction from arguing about the game result Saturday to arguing about the playoff committee decisions!!

Remember, against Montana St, Weber had 4 punts that were snapped over the head of the punter and all resulted in a safety. This is defintiely one aspect of the game UND has the edge in considering all our punt and kick blocks this year.

Disagree. Committe members aren't watching tape of national anthems of games. Come on. And, how many people say "Sioux" at the end of the anthem at football games? The 20 students in their hockey jerseys?!

When you really break it down, it's better to be on the road in the playoffs than sitting at home not playing at all.

You guys are all "Selection Deniers"

SEMO went 9-2 and won thier conference. They have to go on the road against a 7-4 Montana team that finished 6th in their conference. So in that matchup, they went with the highest bid not game performance. So why use one citeria in one scenario, and a differenct criteria in the other?! That's the fustrating part.

The Selection Committee basically awarded Weber the 9 seed and gave them a home playoff game.

Clearly bids don't mean anything. If you are going to award teams based off "team performance" than just seed every team in the field to remove all doubt.

I would too if I had to play for Entz! Surprised they lasted this long!!

$$$$$$$$$$$

Bids will be made public I assume. So before we rip in Chaves and the bedding, let’s wait and see the numbers first.

On the road to Weber.

NDSU gets the 3. Different side of the bracket as Montana St and SDSU. If you are a Bison fan, couldn’t ask for a better scenario.

Not sure what offense that was, but that was not the Fighting Hawks offense I’ve seen all year. WTF was that Danny?!

Tell me the worst case scenario for the first half. We are watching it.
