    This particular play doesn't really fit my example, but I know you want to point it out to make your own different point, which has been belabored.

    The WR crew has gotten better, but I am still not seeing a ton of explosiveness from them in general. I don't care how far your QB can toss the pigskin if his receivers aren't out there to catch it.

     

     

    Yeah, I've been thinking about the "dink and dunk" comments regarding the passing game, and it seems like most are putting that blame on Tommy's arm.  That's not fair because he's able to throw 20-30+ yard pass plays, but a lot of things need to come together for a long pass play to happen, not just what the QB is doing or his arm strength.  Need to get good line protection to allow time for receivers to get separation, provided they can.

    And I think Mooney was from MN not ND. But yes.....someone needs to make a Mooney type play next Saturday! 

    Wasn’t talking about his home state that made it personal. If you watch “When They Were Kings” Mike Mooney visited both schools on recruiting trips. He says NDSU wanted him to be a weight room “cheerleader” while obviously UND wanted to him to actually play. I think he gave an extra gear for Sioux-Bison games.

  4. Curious side note - some threads have the heading “The UND” while others have simply “UND.”  We have won all the “UND” games and lost all the “The UND” games. This one has “The UND” - can we get that changed?

    The Romfo running package was awesome; hope they start mixing in some passes with it or it will become way too predictable 

    Yeah, it looked like he was lining up to throw on his last rushing touchdown and I was a little disappointed he just ran again.  Maybe we’re saving that wrinkle for next week??

  6. AJS, I’ve been thinking along the same lines as you. While UND rolled a bad team yesterday, I still didn’t see a team that is built to handle a good opponent. Too many missed tackles, too many conversions allowed on 4th down, too many <name your own bugaboo>.  Now maybe it’ll all come together next week, but we keep thinking that and keep getting disappointed.

    I’m also not sure if this game is as personal to the team (the coaches, yes, especially the head coach) as it is to the fans. Who’s the Mike Mooney of this team who will take out personal vendettas against them?

    I’m ready for some style points. Our final score has to start with a 3, preferably a 4. Defense holding to single digits would be ideal. 

    Check and almost check. Score was solid. Perhaps better than the play deserved. Let’s get on to next week.

    Took the penalty because they likely go for it in 4th and 2. 

    No I get that, just that that punt wobbled all the way down to the 19. Punt return team lost at least as much as the holding penalty gained, field position wise.
