#Fire Bubba

Seriously....how does Bubba look at this offensive performance today and say...…...yeah this is great, we just need to make a few minor adjustments. Our offensive coordinator is killing it.

Wouldn't be hard to do. Especially when our offensive yards are going backwards.

I asked in post yesterday......would be playing like we were hungover from last week....or come out inspired. It's obvious on the offensive side. Put in Boltmann…..why the hell not!

Those games against UNC and Sac State gave us such false hope that we had a good offense. This is pathetic.

That's the thing.....if we wont this game easily...…..and win next week easily.....I think we have more of a case. But man.....this is not very impressive so far.

I'm kind of glad Puto TV isn't working...I'd be embarrassed for the two NDSU guys I'm with to watch this game, I'm listening on head phones. Unless we start rolling them in second half.....this is not a good showing at all for a team fighting to make the playoffs.

This showing so far damn near almost wants us to lose so the whole staff gets canned.

7 points in the first half at home against Portland State......do we really even deserve the playoffs?

7 points against Portland at home....why the hell not....we need a spark!

That is crazy talk. Throw a deep ball to your fastest guy?

Pathetic! But don't worry....we are a great 3rd quarter scoring team....not!

Another TD reception for a TE for NDSU.....TE wide open up the middle for a 40 yard TD. God why can't we figure out how to use TE.

NDSU TE's with two receptions and a TD in first quarter of their game. (Note - on a guys weekend with 2 NDSU grads so we are following both - normally I wouldn't know what NDSU was doing) I was telling them how we never use TE's.

It hasn't come on for me yet either.

What's the status of our RB's as to who will be available today?

It will be interesting to see how the team comes out and plays. Will they still be hungover from that depressing loss last week and be flat, or will they be inspired. I'm really not sure what to expect since we have often been underwhelming at home. Hoping for more of a Montana type game though.

I agree that one was a really good call, and Wanzek likely would have been the one throwing it if he wasn't out and probably completed it. It was super frustrating to miss on that play. However I think we hit Maag on a long pass one or two plays later and got down to about the same spot, if I remember correctly. When I think of all of the the "what could have" in this game, I thought about this play missing....but since I think we hit Maag deep it didn't have a big impact. Again, if I recall correctly.

No doubt, I'm not even sure if they tried faking the sweep to McKinney against Idaho. And yeah coming up with a new play off the fake sweep to McKinney would be what you'd like to see to take advantage of teams starting to focus on it.

What happened the McKinney on the jet sweep last weekend? Sure Weber shut it down, but it worked against everyone else. I don't think McKinney even ran one against Idaho but I can't remember for sure.

Brady - love watching this kid bulldoze right through guys. That run against Sac St. epitomizes Brady, where he pushed and carried guys 5 yards into the endzone after using his speed and agility to get that far. Love his heart and will to win. Santiago - Rushing for over 100 yards against Washington. That first game against Wyoming where he emerged out of nowhere. So many long runs. Love his heart and will to win too....it was especially evident against Washington. Palmborg - PWO to team captain...gotta love that! Deion Harris - all of the pick 6's Fiedler - bringing a mean streak as some have mentioned, and made some nice catches. Too bad he couldn't have gotten more. Aplin - Steady and important the last two years Greer - Being a stud against Washington and playing his heart out without a real back up in that game since Tank was hurt Tank - for being tank and just blowing up the middle so many times. And I think it was against SHSU where he made a great play to stop the RB on 4th down. Stanley - lots of good catches a few years ago when he was healthy. Glad he is back now that we are short on WR's and glad for him being able to play again as a senior. Cieslak - Bulldozing off the edge.

That's what I was thinking too. God forbid we take a timeout and make sure we get the protection handled correctly in a crucial part of the game.

Oh I agree!! I'm just speculating as to what I think Bubba might do. I could see him keeping Rudy. Both Rudy and Kostich need to be replaced at minimum in my opinion.

Totally agree. However I feel like he will just get rid of Kostich thinking that will satisfy people.

Should have been left at Stony Brook. Running into kicker and blocked punt in Richmond game cost us that game, then blocked punt in Stony Brook lost that game.....I had seen enough by then. 3 more blocked punts this year, all of them not even close to getting the kick off...the guys were taking the ball off kickers shoe. I've seen more blocked punts under Kostich to last me a lifetime. Curious as to the last time either NDSU or SDSU have gotten a punt blocked.
