I don't think so since the OC has not had a complete game plan that has worked and keeps going away from things that are working. Like 3 straight passes when you have opportunity to eat clock with the lead after a big stop and then turn the ball back over, or 3 passes from the 2, when the previous TD was a easy 2 yard run for SS. There have been times of designed runs by Jerry have been head scratchers when they have the RBs that they have consistently getting more yards. The best runs by Jerry are either when he decides to go after coverage allows on a called pass play, or when he been extending the field with the pass that opened up on RPO, until late in the game the RPO wasn't doing anything each time he kept it.

Like not having JTJ on sideline ready to go changed his mentality or something. This week think he had some definitely bad passes that were better placed prior, some past weeks I thought there was more drops on well placed balls. The 2ints today the type of throw should've been the type he threw on the other one. The last INT looked short and looked like he was trying to place it where wr could dive and catch it but the DB had excellent inside position with help from the turf to int it and WR was not cleared enough of him for that. The softer over the top drop in could've worked on that one as there was no safety help. More back corner of the end zone. Also wouldve preferred the wide open guy crossing the middle of the field that would've cut the distance in half, could've probably gotten out of bounds to give 2 attempts from much closer. The other INT he threw it way to soft on a lob play, possibly still under thrown but gave plenty of time for the safety that was in vincinity over the top to get it. The bullet he threw later in the game to split 2 dbs would've been money.

It's possible that end of year a 7-5 (4 FCS losses) or 8-4 (3 FCS losses) at the end of the year with 2 of those losses to 1 & 2 seed by a combined 6 points. Even if Mont State beat Montana then it's 1&4 seeds. The tough bullet to bit is UND 4 loses so far is a combined 14 points. Each of those games had the lead or chance to take the lead under 5 min left in the 4th.

Outside of Havard and NDSU the top 25 have been leaky the last 2 weeks.

Only thing I can think is due to him having forward motion, to me it looked like it was caught either at the spot he tossed it or slightly behind, not sure what they had enough to overturn it. Had to of used the far end zone camera for an angle like the BU hockey game.

SDSU looks like a must win but it shouldn't really matter as UND should win easily vs Murray St. Which would leave it with 4 FCS losses. Traditionally the president is the FBS loss doesn't count against at selection time, but also the FBS win did not help with 4 FCS losses in year past either. SDSU has a worse offense than NDSU by far, they may have Chase Mason back at that point but even with him they have struggled.

Definitely looked to bounce off the turf on replay. But whatever, again we lost the game. So many chances that we failed on. Have to look back to that very dumb series of the 1st and goal from the 2. That missed FG looks large too as it could've been a 3 point game, forcing a chance to tie with a FG instead of forcing having to get a TD. I say 3 to tie as I would think NDSU would've went for XP instead of 2pt on last TD.

Under threw it, great play on the coverage, but should've been placed into the end zone. Receiver also did not have outside position that one needed to go over the top.

If he throws a ball anywhere accurate there #1 has easy catch and alot of field in front of him.

All 3 losses, and this game. The K State game we also had the head scratcher at end of the 1st quarter too. This game. Had to run the ball when you have 1st and goal from the 2, also didn't need the lob long ball when leading and driving that was INT.

He has no pressure on him other than the clock and always hurries and misses in these 2min stand situations.

There would have to be a better straight on camera to be able to determine that. I thought it was going to stand.

Wish we had the Skopna sweep

Interesting he was taken down by the leg kick of the defender. Wouldn't have gotten there anyway.

We were short, but the initial spot before TV went to commercial was short of where it should be.
