Agree. Need to make conference tournament at very least.

I am a little skeptical about the Yotes turnaround. Not sure their record or ranking is truly reflective of their team. Doesn’t mean this won’t be a tough game for UND. Hard place to play and track record is not in our favor. I think UND has a little more to play for, so I hope that sense of urgency translates.

I think the offense will be ok if we’re smart with the play calls. If we’re worried about o-line protection, I’d say roll Tommy out to move the pocket and let receivers get open - He can generally find them.

This has been an area of my curiosity for several seasons. I can’t imagine our coaches don’t know how to teach these things, so are the players just not athletic enough, not smart enough, or what’s the deal?

Like Nodak said, McNaboe is out. They thought Skokna and Siegel would be in.

According to 360 podcast, he is listed on 2-deep this week. FWIW.

Will the outsides be open, or should be we throw across the middle? Lots of success to outside last week.

Yeah, I didn't realize we had been eliminated from the Summit League Tournament (by my math, at least). Pretty big disappointment.

Score and time update?

Gotcha.

2015 was the year we beat PSU on the road, but that team (7-4) missed the playoffs. In 2016, we were seeded (#7 I believe).

The MVFC is so misguided they selected our noodle arm quarterback offensive player of the week.

How scary is USD's offense?

What about Quincy Vaughan? Did he play at all? I thought there was a 3rd and short they might bring him out for, but they didn't. Also don't recall him catching a pass.

I already had a dream about this game earlier this week. I think UND scored 24 points and (maybe??) won. Hard to tell when it’s as elusive as a dream.

I would say the Rudy years, like 2015 and 2016. Defense seemed to get scores then much more regularly than now.

While this is all in good fun, I’m not so sure a rematch with UND or USD doesn’t come out differently. A rematch with SDSU would likely still favor the Jacks.

Hope you’re right.

Anyone providing linkage or isn’t that a thing anymore?

USD game was in Fargo.

And UND blew them out the biggest.

Should be SDSU and Montana State in the championship. If one of them stumbles, it should be there for the taking the other one. If they both stumble (for some reason), then it’s wide open.

Tommy definitely had a few overthrows, so if some of those would connect he would be more dynamic and less game manager. But there’s no way I would trade Tommy for Murray’s QB.

Does USD? Whoever wins next week in the UND/USD matchup, will that win be a quality win?

Before the season started, if we knew our record would be 6-3 heading to Vermilion, and one of the six wins was against NDSU, that would have sounded pretty satisfying (to me at least). Still have a shot at our goals.
