Once season is over, and/or we lose in the playoffs they typically dont do one to recap the last game.

Agree, Schmidt will own the crappy offensive calls or crappy red zone performance next year if its like this year.

I totally agree with that first paragraph. Was going to root for Tarleton until how cocky they seem to be this past week. I definitely do not want USD to win it. I think Illinois State probably has the best shot to knock off some of the other big names, so I'll be rooting for them. Keep it in the MVFC and I dont have any strong dislike for them at this point. If its a Montana school, definitely Bobcats over Griz. Griz fans are annoying enough the way it is.

Ouch, that sucks. We targeted him a lot and he had a great year, I guess that wasn't good enough for him. Lame.

Just saw this.

Wasn't there some grumbling of SS not being happy about something right before the season even started? I remember posting back around August....something along the lines that I think SS should start over Z as he is the most talented back we've got, and ride him as much as we feel we need to because he's probably gone after this year. I would agree that I can't see him being a starting RB at an FCS school because of his size. Although for his size he really ran tough, definitely a talented kid. Definitely will be a huge kick in the ass if he goes to any of the Dakota or Montana schools.

WOW those stats are pretty staggering.

I got a little heat during the week when I said there was too much Kelly Green goggles on.....thinking that our offense would magically start rolling this week due to Z being back, or Romfo in...etc.. Usually there is enough negativity on this board so I never have to be. But I felt we'd would struggle to score 20 points today. I was thinking 31-24 Tarelton today, giving us benefit of the doubt and actually see scoring 24 against them. 7 of our points came from getting the ball at the 10 yard line. I had seen nothing leading into the week that felt we'd somehow revert to the UND offense from earlier in the year. I am not surprised one bit in the game today. Our defense was really good, our offense sucked....like it has for weeks now. In my opinion today's offense being inept again, solidified we need a change at OC.

I said this the other day. Need to go 3 wide...way wide...less guys in the box...and run it

Even if we don't ditch it completely, run some run plays straight handoff with no pass option. Do it with 3 WR spread out, less guys in the box, let our OL try and pound it down their throats.

Was he considered on the hot seat as this year went along? Think they are 6-5.

Definitely an unusual series of events where....going to Simon may provide the shake up we needed on offense. Im guessing if its 3rd and 3 he wont be throwing fly patterns. I'm hoping for the best, would be great to get to the next round. Our defense is legit, so the offense just has to do enough. If we can mix it up snd get some success on the ground, and get back to zero turnovers on offense (primarily Jerry snd SS the past 5 games).

They beat Army, who beat Kansas State. What is our signature win, Youngstown? And that is when we were rolling on offense, that is not the case now. Remember when it was 10-6 at the end of the 3rd quarter last week? We get a couple TD'S in 4th quarter and now we are some kind of unstoppable juggernaut? I hope we come out of our slump, but call me not surprised if it is midway through the 2nd quarter and we are feeling just like we felt last week about our offense.

Have to admit, after Saturday's game I felt there is no way we beat Tarelton. I may be coming around a little, but our offense has been bad. Z being back does help some, but I don't know if Simon is all of the sudden our magical answer to get our offense going again. Call me crazy but Im not 100 percent convinced we see this big offensive improvement this week. For several weeks we've been thinking this is the week we get our offensive Mojo back and it never happens. Our defense has been great though, so maybe offense can score just enough to pull out a win.

I may be wrong, but I think they did review it and said it wasn't targeting. Not saying it shouldn't have been called, but was thinking they reviewed it. It didn't seem to be nearly as violent of a collision as many hits I've see, for instance than one on Dennis against SDSU. But think it was more that he got hit just right and then his head hit the ground. So it was more like contact from the player and then helmet hit the ground hard right after. I hope Jerry is OK long term, and likely best he doesn't play this weekend.
