I think UND puts up 50+/-5 points tomorrow, just a feeling

I think even with the injuries guys like Welch and Rattelle will step up, hopefully Cummings does so as well. I'm hoping that Kennedy will have a good game against the run since that area looked to be his specialty on his film. Either the defense shows up and plays well this game or they are a bunch of bums.

You're #37

That all depends on how much you guys really want to be top 25

Or we can have a und ndsu game in ooc play and have the winner gain a huge playoff resume win

Recognizing potential and not getting caught up in the what have you done for me lately game is not optimism. Im just not looking beyond the positives in front of my face to focus on some negatives

Falcons? Eagles? Raiders(Oakland style)? Hawks? I don't think we'll be able to have a nickname as unique as fighting Sioux but we should find a good one.

These rankings put the Cal Poly game into perspective. We had control of the game and the lead over the #5 team in the nation. Sure we pissed it down our leg but it shows that even on an off night UND can be elite. If the team can put together 5 complete games down the stretch don't be surprised if you don't see them lose.

Anytime someone mentions safeties I remember how much we could use Fifita.......... the physical run stopper that never was..... Butler needs to develop fast.

Probably because he isn't that fast anymore, if he was he'd be out there other than special teams. Elite athletes don't ride the pine.

So what are your feelings going into this one?

I'm guessing he's not as big fast or good as people thought when he committed to UND. He has yet to see a meaningful snap in a game other than special teams. His rivals profile had him at 6'2" 195 and a 4.48. If those were true he'd be a good players for UND, unfortunately they're obviously not.

And blowing the 4th quarter against cal poly

Weird I thought we had more than 7 games this year. By the way we can still make the playoffs.

Pressure on the qb/stuffing running gaps could save this season

That would get destroyed by the spread.....

I think using a 3-4 but having the capability to use 4-3 against spread teams would be a nice solution.

I change my season pass to Buzz Killington

Only if they don't get there in time and get the qb out of sync

That really sucks. He looked really improved this year and was the go to guy on 3rd down. Hopefully a guy like Ivory can step up and fill in the void, he's shown a lot of upside.

Just look at the successful bad ass defenses in the NFL, steelers ravens texans 49ers and bears. All get to the qb and love to bring pressure, especially the ones who run the 3-4 like us. Hopefully this works and brings the d a little more attitude. Maybe bringing pressure is part if the attitude.

No show Joe

It's because people like you are over reacting and acting like the team sucks all of a sudden. They were an exciting team going into the Poly game. Last time I checked they're the same team, they just had two bad games. Hopefully they go New York Giants on everyone to shut them up.

No way in hell that happens. A result like that after what happened the last two weeks would say alot about this team. This team is better than that.

They're good, we're better than we've played the last two weeks. Should be a good game. They have a great RB and a great punt return man. They held PSU to 10 points so they have a good defense. Must win game.
