He wouldn't even start. The only dropdown we need is at qb, or I guess at lb de dt db and rb for that matter

59 yards was in the other direction for the last time. Last year the wind was at his back for the last time. Coaches watch him warm up, think maybe they noticed he struggled with accuracy into the wind? As for the 4th down play they should have had Hendrickson in there and quick snapped them with a QB sneak since they would expect an outside run from the QB like the other two carries he had.

Well I had a pretty good perspective since I was at the game, the wind was not at his back. It had died down from earlier in the day but was most definitely from left to right and in his face. Flags don't tell you much by the way. I can remember many a practice at Memorial where the flags on each tower were in opposite directions.

With the wind at his back, aka the other direction.

Obviously spike the ball. 2nd and 10 with 30 seconds left. That gives you the opportunity to either run one more time to get a couple yards and the ball in the middle then spike, or some quick passes to get closer. More importantly it takes more time off the clock and gives UNC 0 chance of doing anything.

Obviously the defense was putrid this year but what does everyone think about coach Breitbach? He did a decent job without any passing game last year but this year it seemed like he gave up on the run a bit too much and it turned the offense into more of a finesse offense which didn't help rest the defense. He seemed to not be as ruthless on opposing defenses and let the foot off the gas peddle a few too many times.

I know people are trying to use last years game as an example with the 54 yard FG but the wind was at Zebs back last year and this year it was going diagonally into his face. From 51 yards even a little breeze can make a huge difference on the flight of a football, especially if the hold isn't perfect and the laces are facing either side.

I'm not sure we should fire him yet. I know people don't like his decision because it didn't work and all but if it had people would be praising him for coaching for the win and having confidence in his players to seal the game. Some heads probably do need to role in account for the defense..... it pains me to say it because I think Mannausau is a great guy and a good coach but it just isn't working out.

Maybe we should switch to the vaunted 5-3 defense to stop the run better next year? I thought the reffing was pour resterday....... My god..... Those poor seniors

Was I the only one who noticed how many times we got screwed at crutial times? That no call pi on Nichols on 3rd down was a killer. And that was one of many yesterday.

It's annoying to respond to people who can hardly read. I said I would've done something different on 4th down. The kick wouldn't have been a bad decision, but you can't blame a coach for having balls.

Those may have been different seasons, maybe.

Really? And where do you think that safety is? In the box. So, yea, lets run it when the defense is in a run heavy set with a safety blitz on tap. And you're right every coach tells the qb before the first game of the year not to take advantage of mismatches. Just forget I mentioned that, you clearly know that the chance of your kicker making a 51 yard FG for the win is wayyyyyyy higher than completing a pass to a WR who has 5 inches on a DB who is on an island.

Obviously some things need to change for this program to make the playoffs and be the best in the region again. This isn't a Fire Muss thread by the way.

This team doesn't quite have things clicking yet..... In other news the President is black.

One problem I have with the complaints from everyone about 'the bomb on 3rd and 1' is that you have jameer Jackson against a much smaller db in press coverage with no safety over the top. You take that shot 100% of the time. Now the fourth down was a different story, the personel on the field was ridiculous. Put Marcus in and do a read option with another option being a pass to a te. Runner jer up the middle was a head scratcher.

Going to be a beautiful day in greeley today for thie game. Time to send the seniors out on the right note and coaches out on the recruiting trail with a winning record and momentum. This game should be a good one, they're a lot better than their record.

46 shots huh? Did Chavon Mackey switch sports tonight?

Why can't the men's team put either numbers or an nd in the void on their jersey?

He's the one NDSU fan on this board that bring legit comments to conversations. He's not a troll. Just because he's an NDSU fan doesn't automatically make him a troll/douche. But I guess if you want to be a blind homer dbag like those on bisonville then by all means.

I didn't know every seat was filled for every home game for you guys. My bad, I must have confused you guys with someone else.

Soooooo, tell me what a sellout means to you. Seriously. I know it's hard to wrap your mind around concepts and thoughts and then attempt to comment on those 'thoughts' but really, you sold out every game this year? Also for your hockey comment, notice how I didn't say they sellout against lower teams? Apparently not.

I don't have attendance numbers from last time UND was #1 in football and played a bad team but every year the hockey team has at least 11,000 people in the seats for exhibition games or series against a terrible Michigan Tech team. 0-7 sounds like an excuse to me. You guys were 7-0 and just beat Minnesota, if the attendance wasn't pathetic the thread wouldn't have existed in the first place. Back to the whole point of the link, UND football will continue to improve in the attendance department for the next couple of years as we regain our rightful national prominence.

someone gets the point finally

If you're the #1 team in the country and coming off of a huge win like they were you should very close to a sellout the next game and have an excited atmosphere regardless of who you play.
