Brady probably would have got down to about the 2 on that first down play if that block on outside would have been made like it should have, gotta make that block instead of standing around watching. Well...10-0 is still a great start!!
-
Curious what the Rudolph haters are thinking right now about the play calling to start the game.
-
geezes you have to make that freaking catch!!!
-
I'm watching on WatchBigSky.....has been good for me so far.
-
I'm sure they will hit a couple passes over the top today, I just hope when they do......we can make a tackle and not let them go for TD's.
-
I know there is a spelling difference, but let's hope nobody takes this statement out of context

I think the way we've played so far offensively, we've only been an above average FCS team as well. . I don't know if our offense will ever get rolling like it did the last three games last year, but I do think there is room for improvement that can be made yet this year offensively to make us a playoff caliber team. Hopefully a big step towards that is taken tomorrow, we'll see.
-
It sure would be nice to get one of those....finally. We've had to fight and claw for almost every offensive point we've gotten this year, well I guess Brady did have that long run last year. Still it sure would be nice to see Santiago take a long one to the house, here's to premonitions!!

I couldn't make a prediction last week, didn't have a super great feel going into last weeks game since our offense never seems to show up for 4 quarters. Going to make a more in depth prediction this week to make up for it. 1. We win coin toss and make Poly take the ball, make them punt, we drive down and get field goal (first 1st quarter points this year) 2. Poly has 2 turnovers, we have 0 3. The offense doesn't completely roll, but improves a little. Studs throws for 200 yards. 4. We do just enough to eek out another close one 31-27 I think we probably need to be plus 2 in the turnover department to win this game. I admit, I do have my Kelly Green glasses on for these predictions

God help us I don't want to go back to the days of half the people wanting one QB (Mollberg) and half the people wanting the other QB (Bartels). I do get what you are saying though that in your situation they would both be so good we wouldn't know who to start, instead of the opposite of that which is what we had. Even with that said.....I think it's important for the team to have 1 true starter and leader the team can rally behind, and you can have that even if the backup is really good. Look how good Wentz was, and he was on the bench when Jensen was there, I don't believe people were calling for Wentz to come in if Jensen threw a pick.
-
Might mean another good day for Brady, and maybe our leading rusher in yards again? Still hoping Santiago can break a long one this week.
-
I agree, the Athlon poll seems to be more accurate based upon what has actually occurred this year, not just based upon conference, past history, and how good they thought teams were suppose to be this year.
-
Interesting....rewatching Brady's first TD at the end of the first half....shortly after the announcers said last year UND only threw the ball 11 times the whole game, and we had thrown the ball 11 times in the first half against them this past Saturday. I know people want to pass more.....but we did pass more than last year against them. I do agree with many though on the use of TE's and roll outs a bit more to mix up our plays could be better. We had 22 pass attempts against MSU, I think between 20-25 is all we want a game.

I'd really like is to win the coin toss this week so we can defer. That way they could start with the ball and if we can get them to go 3 and out, they punt, we get the ball around our 40 yard line or so. We have lost the last two coin tosses (and maybe the first two games I can't remember) and after receiving the ball we've started our first drive only around the 20. And since our offense has such a slow start....we go three and out...then we are punting to them giving it to them at mid field. Hoping we can do the opposite this week. The usual obvious benefit of deferring is getting the ball to start the second half, but in our case with our slow offensive starts it seems to also have a bigger detriment than normal when we get the ball first as I think we've gone 3 and out our first series every time, or close to it. That said, against Poly if we do kick to them to start the game, I would not be surprised if they get a couple of first downs that first series as we work to try and figure out how to stop their rushing attack.

I don't think we actually handed off to the guy in motion on the jet sweep play all day (I could be wrong though), seems like we'd need to hand it off to that guy once or twice a game for them to have to respect it. How about Santiago wide right, coming in motion to left side on jet sweep....fake it to him....QB takes a few steps to the right then turn back and throw to Santiago out in the left flat. Although who knows maybe that would work even better if it wasn't Santiago....if it was somebody else the D would give up on that guy....but if it's Santiago they still may try to cover him like a blanket even when he doesn't have the ball and it looks like it will be a run to the right side.
-
Watching him run is a little like watching Okoye in Tecmo Bowl!
-
Hahaha that Steckel clip fits this situation perfectly! Can you imagine a coach swearing like that now days lol
-
I agree.....if we didn't have so many penalties in the second half, we were moving the ball and Rudy did call a couple swing type passes on first down that worked. We had a RB that ran for 170 yards, that's not too shabby......but on the other hand it certainly was ugly at times and penalties at such critical times, makes you pull your hair out.
-
Good news that Poly beat Montana.....if we are able to beat them next week that will be a good win on the books for us.
-
I think the game plan during the week is to do whatever possible to make the game come down to the last minute or last play of the game.
-
Hahaha oh man that literally made me laugh out loud!
-
Pick! Ok.....you would think we'd have the game now......but still can't count on it!
-
If we lose this game.....my god
-
Why take Brady out and put Santiago in if you are just going to run up the gut.....Brady always gets some yard.
-
WTF Studs.....Ugh!!
