Just now watching the longer version of the highlights (I did not see the game live or on replay yesterday), and I got to see a lot of plays that the shorter version of the highlights didn't have.
That play in the second quarter where we fake the QB sneak with Vaughn and then Tommy comes to take the snap and then pass to Vaughn is just great.
I also got to see the 2-point attempt on our first TD for the first time. That definitely should have been caught for 2. Oh well.
Good runs by Smith, Skokna, and Z throughout. Offense is so dynamic with those runners and our receivers.
Gutsy call late in the 2nd on 4th & short from deep in the zone. Glad that decision didn't come back to bite us. This place would've burned down again. Another gutsy call is the pass the Belquist on 4th & 1. Would have had lots of options on that play call, but that definitely wasn't one to expect.
Schuster just doing Schuster things. Man, what an asset to bring scrambling into his arsenal. Also an asset - Vaughn getting short yardage seemingly automatically.
Great punt late in the first half to pin them at the 5.
Defense still struggling with some tackling and DL getting pushed a little too much for our liking. Defense wasn't all bad though. Some good coverage, and some sacks. Great play in the last minute of the half to turn the ball over and not let them score.
Griffin is an nice asset to be able to bring in on offense to get path cleared or a push from behind. Nice pickup in the off season.
The two touchdowns that were scored late by NAU, does anyone know if that was our backups in at defense?
After the two touchdowns, a nice series by our offense to end the game.

I know green is our color, and I love the color green in general, but I prefer NOT to have green jerseys since the game is played on a green surface (except this week). I love the black and the white.

I am trying to get over the "don't show too many cards" and "collect the paycheck and nobody get hurt" mindset for this game, but we could really benefit from the victory. Would give us a little insurance, anyway, for later in the season.

Mullin also had himself a game; seems like he gained some speed
I was impressed with how fast he scooted down the field on that return for 2.

Montana State should have won game. SDSU was very fortunate
I would have been interested in watching this game, but couldn’t. How did these two teams look compared to what we’ve seen from UND so far?

Got home and watched the highlights. I see what a lot of you were talking about in regards to missed tackles and giving up big yardage on third down. That said, we led 37-9 with 6 minutes to go. That’s a pretty good beat down. No team is gonna come back from that no matter how many on side kicks they recover. Now let’s really go make some noise.

Too bad about the garbage time defense, but probably better off in the end gaining that experience than to pad a blowout score.

37-9 UND 6:58 left in the game
Nice. I’d like to keep their score at 9, but understand some reps may needed for backups.

Our defense is suspect
But still giving up single digit points per game.

With that TD we cover the spread
For now. Where are we at in the game? 4th Q yet?

That was quick.

So new score is 22-9?
-
So NAU scored? But no extra point(s)?

Are we driving? How close are we?

Skokna is running really well!
Why was kept out last week? Just precautionary considering the opponent?

Does the guy who also announced for the hockey TV broadcasts no longer do football? I though he did both. Maybe he is no longer with Midco.
He (Alex H.) used to do both, but he was hired for CBS Sports coverage of NCHC plus UND’s new Midco contract televises all away football games, too. So Midco needed to bring in a guy solely for football. Alex H still does Midco hockey broadcasts if he doesn’t have an NCHC assignment.

17.5 UND
o/u 57.5
This seems spot on. I hope they’re right. I would be satisfied with this type of victory.

If this game is going to be as close as some people on here are expecting, I'm putting my money on #92 to bring us to victory land. Take it to the bank!!
Bold call.

I'm excited for another game to see how the team performs against a little step up in competition, and then an even bigger step up the following week.
I agree. I think we'll be able to learn a lot about the season as a whole from this game. The people on here seem to be in agreement that UND should win this game, but by how much and in what fashion seems to be biggest debatable points.

Expectations must be higher this year when everyone is arguing how big of a victory is acceptable against a team we had to rally to beat last year
Good point.

That's what I figured, but didn't know for sure. I stand by my post earlier that getting those guys that experience will probably pay dividends later.
