SDSU has attempted a little bit of a push back now down 35-21 but they haven't gotten much in last few possessions. They have the ball after a blocked FG now with 3:30 left they have the ball now in ISU territory but still have to get 2 TDS.
They did nothing else, lost 35-21. They are 7-4. With 4 FCS losses.
ISU is in at 8-3 currently. 2 FCS losses.
SIU is out at 6-5 current, only 5 D1 wins.
UND currently 7-4, 3 FCS losses. UND locked in a top 4 MVFC. If they get a win they are 3rd, if they lose, only ISU can pass them with a win.
If any 5 loss team makes it in, it certainly would be UND, but thats only if they decide to expand to 5 loss. They have 7 FCS wins, 4 FCS losses. Combined 14 point defeceit in games they lost, (-3 @ FBS KState, -1 @ #2/3 Montana, -5 @ Top 10/15 USD, -5 vs #1 NDSU). Either way just don't lose to SDSU.

Well, of course we’d be better if the players were better. That’s always obvious. But for now, the QB is coached by said OC, all year, day after day. They are connected at the hip. You can’t throw the kid under the bus if the coach could be enhancing their play.
One of the things that the UND radio was saying is how last few weeks he has been staring down his primary receiver. He spread the catches around in the 1st half of the season. Now he is making it easier for coverage to read his eyes, and he is trying to force things into coverage instead of any check downs. Like the opposite of QBs of the past who just went to the check downs all the time.
Also not sure why we keep running the RB out behind the LOS and throwing a dart at his head that has seemed to not work more than it has been productive. He isn't hitting him in stride like a swing pass, seems half the time SS is back peddling trying to grab the ball that is either in line with him or behind him.

Won’t lose … however I strongly suspect SDSU to be able to play their best QB (Mason) next week, so it’ll be a battle. But UND should want no different. Iron sharpens iron. Take care of business.
How ready will he be not having played for 6 weeks or so? Also they weren't doing great offensively before he went down. Their Defense much like UND held up long enough for Offense to get productive somewhat. They also have some WRs and OL down I thought I have read. But their Defense have been lethargic last 5 weeks.

USD SIU game is a classic.
Reminds me of the UND-USD OT game from 2016.

North Dakota State 7-0 1.000 10-0 1.000 4-0 6-0 0-0 W10 North Dakota 5-2 .714 7-4 .636 4-1 3-3 0-0 W1 South Dakota 5-2 .714 7-4 .636 5-1 2-3 0-0 W2 Illinois State 4-2 .667 7-3 .700 3-2 4-1 0-0 W3 Youngstown State 4-3 .571 7-4 .636 5-1 2-3 0-0 W2 South Dakota State 3-3 .500 7-3 .700 4-2 3-1 0-0 L3 Southern Illinois 3-3 .500 6-4 .600 3-1 3-3 0-0 L1This is the current standings including completed games as of this post.
a SIU loss would make them 6-5, best they can get is 7-5 and that would be 4-4 in conference.
Youngstown State path to 8-4 looks the easiest with UNI left.
SIU and Ill State will play each other next week. If score against SDSU holds right now than Ill State will be locked with 8 wins, no matter the outcome next week.SDSU vs UND will be interesting. We know that UND does not get any preference from the committee in the past, and Chaves is the MVFC rep, so I believe he has to remove himself from any conversation around UND. But a 7 D1 win MVFC with a 5-3 in conference and potentially #1 SOS should get in. 8 win is auto. SDSU will get the benefit of injured QB if they end up 7-5. on a long losing streak.

That's why replay is so bad at this level. No camera anywhere near goal line at this game.
but there is at the 20 yard line supposedly that TV doesn't have...

I'd say SIU as we have the head to head with them and it would potentially knock USD out of playoff contention.
Alot of the media thinks that USD is already a lock with their 7 wins and 2 top 10/15 wins. SIU loss probably knocks them out even though they can still get to 7 wins, that would put them at 4-4 in the conference.

aTm came back from 30-3 … so … maybe?
on 4th down next possession, punter dropped the snapped, and turnover on downs ISU now has the ball at SDSU 25.

SDSU is down 14-0 early and Illinois state now has the ball again at the SDSU 4 yd line not even 5 minutes into the game. ISU scored first possession, scored defensive touchdown on a turnover, and SDSU just muffed the kickoff recovered by ISU.
21-0 ISU with 10:29 remaining in the 1st quarter.

They need to have someone turn off the audio on their replays.

The question I was responding to is why the Alerus Center entrance is light years behind the REA for intros.
I'm sure they could do some sort of tunnel walk, no clue why they have chose to do it the way the do.Pretty sure they did for one year (2016?) with Bubba. Atleast them opening the door to the locker room to seeing them walk out, not sure if it followed them completely, or just the door opening and them starting to come out then switched to video before switching back to them being at the entrance to run onto the field.

Wasn't he being praised a month ago?
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.

I'm shocked how he's played the last 2 weeks.
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.

But haven’t we heard in the past so many times about good losses from the committee?
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.

Not true. I watched it many times. He turned his body toward the sideline, how can it go forward if the player who received it was behind him? The rule states that the ball cannot move toward the goalpost. It in fact did not.
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.

How many times have we had the ball with a chance to take a lead this season and gotten 0 points out of all of them?!
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.
