I’m still fairly high on this team, but the margin for error just got narrower. Need the next 3 no ifs, ands, or buts. Offense put up 28 on one of the best defenses, with all their misgivings aside.

And all I’m saying is we had 2 special teams plays that led to touchdowns, and 1 that had a chance to. But you wore me down, so this is my last post on the matter. You win.

Just saying 3 plays = 3 plays.

Yep. O-line showed their youth/inexperience today.

Sounds like things evened out, then.

It’s getting closer to that point, but I’m too wired the other way. For now.

Need to have some of those kind of games, too.

I agree with your first statement, but would need more evidence to support the second. Ask me next week.

I think we come back strong like after the SIU game.

I would argue SDSU is not as good as their game today and UND is not as bad as their game today. I wouldn’t bet against Tommy Schuster too many times.

I still want the chance. They don’t have that great of a home field advantage. I’d rather go there than Fargo.

And uncharacteristic from our QB.

Bid a home playoff game in the Al, and then pick off the Jacks in Brookings.

Our trench play on both sides of the ball will need to take a step up to play with a team like this. Lot of shake up in the league today, so we cannot take any more weeks off. I still expect them to be a playoff team.

Proud of this team. Not considering it a moral victory. We definitely have the tools to win this type of game. Next time we will.

Hey man, they’re still fighting.

Successful on-side kick.

If you would said we score 35, I would have been pleased. But giving up that many short fields is going to kill you.

Scoop and score.

I think this will have the same effect as the Southern Illinois game.

Yep.

Not too sure about “killed.” Got a big kickoff return. Got a partially blocked punt.

I would argue the only bad coaching decision was the on-side kick.

I’ll be honest, I would like to face these guys in the playoffs, even in Brookings. Next game will be different. If it doesn’t happen this season, at least there won’t be any Jankes on next year’s team.

I understand the need to get he ball back, but on-side kick was probably not going to work out in our favor. May as well try to kick it deep and hope to force a turnover.
