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.

I think last year he had like 0 catches the first 5 weeks, also had some drops over his career. It's been great to see him really contributing and being a solid WR, has had some nice catches when we needed it.

When we got the guy to flip from us a month or so ago and we were all cheering him on, I was going to make a sarcastic post.....saying I wonder if we should question his loyalty or commitment since he dropped his other school and chose UND, think was a kid from NIU? As I knew when we got a kid who flipped, these comments would come out. The kid hasn't stepped foot on campus for a practice or anything yet, if he got an offer from bigger school and chance to play games against teams like Michigan etc, plus more NIL money....most would take it. And I think many on this board would take it too if you were at that age, in that position, in the current climate of things. I am OK with kids getting some money for their hard work and effort, but I dont like the dollar amounts they are getting up to, it has gotten a little crazy. I hope we can keep Rucker, he has worked with the coaches and they have spent time with him, to me that is harder when those types of people leave, but if its moving up to a half way decent FBS team I understand it.

Loved that announcer saying that multiple times, now to me that sounds like something that should be going on a t-shirt!

JTJ seemed very inconsistent in just the little bit I saw him I saw him in game action, felt Simon could come in a situation exactly like this and drive the car to the finish line if needed.

In mid season when 97 was complaining about Romfo getting any kind of snaps, I said I was OK with him getting a few because if push came to shove and Jerry goes down in a big game, I would feel more comfortable with Simon jumping in than JTJ based on only the little I had seen of JTJ. Simon came through today, and that is exactly why he's still on the roster, 97.

My god go under center and do a QB sneak!

We cannot let them get a quick 7 here.

Feels like we are playing against an SEC defense right now wtf. Is this gonna be a 6-3 game?

Yep, feels like going to be a loss.

Deng could of had a TD if he played that ball better

We have a 60 pound weight advantage on the line and we can't take advantage.

I know some of you want to run every play. But we need to mix in the right passes.

If we manage to squeek this out, no way we are beating Tarleton.

We lucked out their QB missed a TD

Our defense deserves better. They deserve a chance to win.

Ya so are the 25 yard fly patterns

Let's see a pass to a TE

Agree, eventually they will break a big play for 7. Offense laying an egg again.

Yeah but you can throw a 7 yard pass, a slant, something.

Jerry is better off under throwing those deep ones instead of air mailing it out of bounds. Very good chance get a pass interference call on under thrown deep ball.

How the hell did we score 30 plus against K State.

Another 3rd and short and we do a fly pattern. We are now 0-9 doing that this year.

I have zero red zone confidence in this team at this point....ugh
