Right. It would be a sweet (or Sioux-weet) story line.

Same with Belquist.

Speaking of Mike Mooney, I’ve been thinking the last few seasons that the coaching staff should bring him in for a motivational meeting with the team in the week leading up to NDSU.

There is, and as fans we certainly can have that mentality, but I think that’s a loser way to think about it. If you don’t want to bring a potential recruit to a home game against your biggest rival because you might lose the game, changes need to be made to the way recruiting is done (or who is doing the recruiting).

You would think this would the choice recruit visit game.

It would have helped if UND had beat Utah State to generate a more intriguing matchup. Regarding media rights, don’t you think Montana and/or EWU had media rights that espn could have easily bought out? I’m guessing the same thing would have happened in the UND/NDSU case.

If we are still Top 10 after next 3 games, then we are legit.

Especially the helmets. Miss that logo so much.

It certainly has the potential to do this. I hope that is the case.

Absolutely. I'll admit I had to look to see who was on the schedule after NDSU. Right now, that's the only game that matters to me.

I think I agree with you. On a side note, if someone knows or can speculate and cares to elaborate, what effect does using a second QB have on Tommy? Does it through off his rhythm? Does it make him think he's not a complete player? I guess after what happened on Saturday, I'm of the opinion to give Tommy the reigns and let him drive those horses.

I've been thinking this is the perfect time for a bye. Normally, later in the season is better, but for this season and this team, now is the time. Fix what you can. And get yourself psyched for a big game.

Yes. Unfortunately we don't have the O-line from Spring 2021. I think they will get up to speed in time, but maybe not in time for October 2. Hope they have a good two weeks.

That’s what I’ve been saying. He better be close to 100% for October 2, or that’s on the coaching staff.

I’m curious to see what Kelly says, and then your take on it.

Hmmm…

Was he our #1 target?

That’s right. That one I can live with because it meant the game was in hand and backups were getting valuable reps.

The Vaughan fumbles bother me. The Maag fumble bothers me only because Maag shouldn’t have played this game, getting him healed up for October 2. The Schuster interception doesn’t bother me. Someone remind me what 5th turnover was? I think if we had just 1 turnover and had not left so many points on the field, fans would have said, “ok, they did the job we expected them to, now let’s beat the Bison.”

Surprised he played today. May as well get him healed and rested for October 2.

After seeing all 3 quarterbacks in game action today, I think protecting Tommy Schuster (ie keeping him healthy) is imperative for season success.

Not feeling too confident against the Bison. It would be different if we had a bye week and they didn’t, but both teams are gonna be ready to hit somebody, and I don’t know if we have enough stuff to win that fight. Hope the boys prove me wrong in a big way.

Feeney in.
