    Dakota Dome is never an easy place to go and win at. I think they’ve got the goofy turf like UNI. Huge game this coming Saturday!

    They replaced the turf before last season. Not sure what UNI has, but it is no longer the carpet style slip and slide. The only turf I had been on that was worse than that was the Bismark Bucks fiasco.

    Month out is vary fortunate for a collarbone injury.

    4 weeks is bare minimum typically for collarbone fracture. Typically physicians don't even want them to do any rehab or upper body strength during those 4 weeks. So typically 6-8 weeks. Now being a college athlete and going through sport specialty orthopedics, they can monitor the healing process much more closely with more appointments to be able to be aggressive, but I'm still thinking 4 weeks is doubtful

    Those are absolutely winnable games, just need to execute and do our thing

    SDSU offense has showed its struggles, their Defense has picked them up. Chase Mason left the game today with lower body (ankle?) and hasn't returned. SDSU hasn't done much.
    NDSU standout DL Jaxon Duttenhefer was spine boarded on the field, checked by doctors on the sideline while boarded before being transported by ambulance to ER. Believe he showed some movement in all extremities before leaving

    Just uninspirng right now.  Feels like we are in kill the clock mode. 

    im okay with that. Eat clock. Get points like we just. Take away possessions from SIU, make them try to go fast anytime they have the ball. Not eating the clock led to our 2 losses.

    I think we very well maybe be the #3 team in the country. We should have beaten Montana on the road

    if UND just didn't take the foot off the gas in that game, to allow for some questionable calls/non calls to occur right at the end. 2 losses for a combined 4 points. 

    The thing that still surprising when historically looking at UND and time of possession being able to eat clock to finish out games. Both of those games, and also the 2nd to last UND drive in this first half, had the ball, should've easily been able to finish off the clock if didn't score, and we take off very little clock and give the ball back. Atleast this time we were able to capitalize on the other team trying to get aggressive with short clock.

    I’m glad you haven’t jumped off the ship. I liked what I saw today. Fix those mental mistakes and the refs can’t steal this game away. They got the rest of the season to make up for this

    The problem is now we have to fix those mistakes and give zero room for error. 2 losses already (1 is said not to count as a FBS loss at selection time, but we know that is BS). Have 2 huge games against current #1 and #2, which I think we can win either or both, but if we don't that is already 4 losses. S. Illinois can be tough, and is a road game, and those still aren't going well for us. I think the rest of the games on our schedule outside those three should not even be considered as not a win, but we also know the team has to play the game, and any L's outside of SDSU/NDSU rest of the season will be huge.

    After all the blame on the refs settles, I agree. This is the correct take. Cant leave that many points out there … team still needs to develop that killer instinct, but it is very very close …

    Yes shouldn't had even mattered, but it did. There can be multiple things to blame. We could've absolutely took one of those things out of even consideration if we did our job earlier.

    Control what you can control

    no stupid ass penalties, had several 

    take points when you can , we didn’t

    refs will be refs 

    Outside of the illegal touching, and a couple false starts, what were the stupid ass penalties? I don't think the horsecollar, or 2/3 DPI on last 2 drives can be considered when they didn't meet the requirements to be called at any other point of the game.

    We had 460 yards of offense and only score 23 points, because of poor kicking which lead to 2 times not trying for kicks and awful play calling again.

    i can only recall one time not trying for kicks the 4th from the like 3 in the 1st half. The series right before half I think totally expected to be able to get a play off with the 6/7 secs we had, usually that is a attempt at the end zone or throw away to keep clock, think the last play before half was completely Jerry deciding not to spike it thinking he could catch them off guard or thinking the clock would run out if he spiked it.

  10. We also should've had something drawn up to atleast drain any sort of clock when having the FB with the lead under 5 minutes. Same thing at KSU, can't find a way to get anything off the clock leaving tons of time. Also if they were manned up so close in tight how did no receiver find any space on that last series, I would assume they were playing no deeps (unlike UND who played give them open deeps on last drive), and man upped as they were grabbing our guys on flats, was there nothing in the middle at all?

    can see why they don't lose at home.  multiple borderline calls on us to keep td drive alive.

    last play by us - holding wr arm and wrapped around his chest holding him and nothing.  Really bs

    Those would typically be called borderline, if they were the ones that go either way all game long. But when all 2nd half our receivers can be completely wrapped up and no call those can't even be called borderline anymore. That was terrible.

    Same !@#$, different coach. Defense still !@#$, 2 scores out of 6 trips to the end zone. 

    I would say the only terrible series by the D was the last one. The previous scoring drive wall all due to the DPI, that were not called at all before that or after that against Montana. Also the horse collar may have been on last scording drive that was not there. They bailed out the offense all day, until they had to attempt to bail out the offense and fight against the officials.
