I think it was a cheap/dirty play. Watching the angle from behind.......he had him by the ankle...if he just holds onto the ankle he's not going anywhere......then he does a gator roll to turn the guys leg. To me this is about as dirty as it gets, and he actually had his leg for a second....and then spins himself to turn it deliberately. I guess I disagree with some....we all have our own opinion. However I'm guessing if that was Santiago's leg most here would be calling it a dirty play, so I am calling it a dirty play even if it's against NDSU.

Norberg up the middle on 2nd or 3rd down and less than two yards became a bit predictable and they stuffed it one time....I even knew it was coming. However it was a nice mix up to give Norberg the ball in other situations. They are so focused on Santiago or Brady in the backfield, handing off to Norberg like that in unexpected situations is awesome Hopefully that will continue to work and just give the defense even another thing to think about.

Yeah if two field goals go in, and they miss their against Iowa they'd have 4 losses right now. But they didn't.....and always seem a way to find a way to win. The loss to SDSU won't mean much unless they happen to lose another one. If they don't lose another one they will still likely be ranked #2 and therefore have home field all the way through. Although I agree, the fact that it sounds like SDSU looked like the better team and it shouldn't have been as close does say something. However until they lose one in the playoffs.....hard to bet against them. Still wouldn't mind meeting them in the second round after winning a home playoff game.

Very nice win UND....way to go guys! Overcame some big plays being made against us and still won by 20. Almost 2 to 1 in time of possession. I agree.....Studs is playing great....again no turnovers for him. Hopefully Reyes sitting this week allows him to get healthy, we definitely miss him back there. Definitely makes for a great Homecoming weekend for everybody!

I think one of SUU players took a cheap shot on the last play.

Last year we didn't make it because we lost to Idaho St. when Reyes was out. I'm ok with winning by 22 instead of 29.....and having everybody healthy. If we lose Studs...we are probably screwed.

Ask what Reyes thinks about style points.....as he stands on the sidelines with street clothes. Pull top key starters.

Ugh....at least the 4th time this year a penalty or TO has cost us a great chance at 7 points. Nice drive by offense though........hopefully they can keep it going. Pretty nervous now about our defense going back out there, hopefully they will make some adjustments.

Offense better keep rolling.....maybe be a shoot out in second half. They were a hot knife through butter on that drive.

That fumble recovery and getting a TD sure make me feel a lot better, kind of helps make up for their two easy scores......kickoff return and 2 yard reception that turned into a TD. Hopefully no more big plays in the second half.....and offense keep rolling! Who thought it would be this high scoring, this is more like what people had the final score at.....not the halftime score!

I was thinking that exact same thing, both of those rollouts were nothing but close to being intercepted. They guys were blanketed on those plays too.

Let's hold to a field goal here!

Perhaps, but it's just the recurring theme this year of not fielding the punt. If there was a stat kept for non-fielded punts.....it just feels like we'd be leading the league in that category. And how did Siebel only get 5 yards on that last return, man looks like he had some room.

My god....another punt not fielded that bounced another 15-20 yards! For the love of god.....can we bring back one our special teams unit from the DII days!!!

It was flat out a coaching blunder last week to have Reyes playing in the 4th quarter last week.

I agree, the middle is not working today. Hell the commentators even know they are tough up the middle, but that's all were are trying to do is run up the middle.

Ok....now it's official, we have the worst special teams in the conference. Punt blocked and returned for a TD, kickoff return against us for a TD, fumbled punt. We are flat out bad on special teams right now.

If we win the turnover battle, we'll survive without Reyes today.

That is some commitment right there.....nice work!!

Yes....UND Sports Extra...that's what I meant lol. Awesome....thanks!

This is the reason I wish both of them were sitting a majority of the 4th quarter last week. I don't think it really means a hill of beans if we beat them by 30 or only 23 last week, we barely moved up in the polls and are getting kind of screwed anyway. More important that these two are there when we really need them. I don't think Sac would have scored with those two out the 4th quarter anyway.

Do you have the link, or know where to go to watch the mid-week sports show? Last year there was always a show mid week where they talked about Football, and then some other sports...thinking it was just the UND Insider but I looked and not sure if I'm just not seeing it or what. I see highlights video clips from football, volleyball, press conferences but not seeing the mid week sports show. I seemed to find them easily last year, that or somebody always just posted them in a thread.

UND 34-24 Let's try to limit their big plays, and win or be at least even on TO's.

Dang all of this talk about going to this game is making me jealous! I have to go up to Fort Collins next week for work and will be there through Friday.....wish that trip was the week of the NC game!

If we have 180 yards of offense (or whatever the number was) before we even have a third down again like last week, I'll probably take it.
