No offense to Muss, I am sure he’s a great guy, but this football team is God awful, they would probably have trouble beating Bemidji State right now. I could see them losing to a few NSIC and top end Division II teams this season.
I have seen enough to make my stomach hurt. I was on hand for two of the games and the Montana game was absolutely brutal, there’s no excuse for that. There’s no reason we can compete with Montana and Montana State in football. I don’t think that it’s unacceptable to expect UND to compete in the Big Sky Conference at high level. A change is needed.
I don’t think it makes us any less of a fan to expect big things from this school in Football. Men’s Basketball and Women’s Volleyball are already doing well in the Big Sky.
Here’s a few of the basic things that I saw this year from the offense and defense, either on TV or in person.
Outside contain horrible.
No pass rush at all, zero.
The Inability to stop a team on third down, either passing or run defense.
Giving up big plays when it’s third and long.
The long fourth down run against SDSU. No one touched Zeller.
Secondary looked like they were slow and old.
Having trouble throwing the ball to the right reciever.
Missing blocking schemes.
