Foreshadowing?

We've lost in the round of 16 before... To Richmond? We've also won in the round of 16... COVID year though.

This is great news. If the o line isn't good, the football team isn't going to be good regardless of who else stays

Not unprecedented I believe. Didn't the same thing happen in the COVID year?

Joey Bradley wasn't really a Harlen Hill nominee was he?

With 2-3 of those wins being meaningless early season victories over cream puffs.

He said it at the weekly press conference after the bison game. It's probably still on YouTube somewhere. He also mentioned it's a numbers game and Jerry counted the people in the box and the right decision was to throw the ball. So maybe the decision and play calling wasn't totally on him, but the way he came across wasn't a very good look. It sort of flipped my thinking of him to be that he might be a little stubborn and defensive.

I think this might be spot on. Playing not to lose.

Pride, arrogance and thin skin is the last thing Fruechte needs to be showing right now

YSU spotted them 21 points in Fargo two weeks ago. They wouldn't be afraid of a rematch.

They offer scholarships based on financial need. As in the football team has a financial need for a good quarterback.

Are teams seeded 9 - 16 guaranteed a home game now? Or is it strictly based on a bid? Or is discretion allowed?

Lot's of angst about playing NDSU again on here. I'm not convinced their offense plays any better in Fargo, and I don't think ours could play much worse. When two competitive teams play a second time, history favors the team that lost the first game. I'm not saying I'd rather play NDSU, but I think the team that has the biggest reason to not want a rematch is NDSU.

Actually 6 game winning opportunities without a success. Once in each loss with two chances each at USD and NDSU. The last chance here at NDSU was the only one I remember that looked good for a while. Isaac has to make sure we start those drives with plays that have a high probability of success and allow Jerry to get in a a rhythm and get some confidence. 0-6 has to create a come to Jesus moment for Isaac, and the answer isn't going to be a different QB.

If we finish 7 and 5, there's a good chance we'll be the 5th place team in the valley and will have lost three of our last four. I wouldn't see us getting in
