Most of you are likely at the game today, but here is a thread for those of us that are not. Hope the secondary stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.....and ate their Wheaties this morning so they can make some big plays.

34 - 27 UND Defense gives up a few big plays defensively due to depleted secondary, but we rush for 300 yards.

Not sure who will or won't be ready to play this weekend, but I was thinking the other day that we could possibly have 8 guys that would have been considered starters to open the season that won't be playing this weekend due to leaving the team or injury. Here I thought we had the injury bug last year and got that out of the way.

Gotta love technology, watching the game from a tiki bar on the sand in Cancun. Missed that long run, but seems like we are out playing them.....we need to make some plays in the second half and pull this game out!

24 - 17 PSU I'm in Cancun so won't be watching the game, but I hope our offense plays well.....if the do we can certainly win. I'm hoping Studs plays really well to quite the doubters as well so that we can feel confident in our QB going into games.

Was nice to win, but the game at Portland State next weekend could get out of hand being on the road. Let's hope they step up even more next week. Kick coverage has been horrible all year, need to get that improved for sure.

Thanks. I don't think you guys will go winless this year. Good Luck!

Lucked out with that penalty on the fake field goal....that would have been a big gainer.

Good question......we may be in the same situation at the end of this year...as we were last year, wondering if we have the QB we need to really be a strong team. Hopefully he can really progress throughout the year. It sure would be nice to start a year knowing we've got 'The Guy" at QB.

Gotcha, Bartels certainly would have made a few better throws and quicker reads than he has. Studs running ability is nice....but if he doesn't get better in the passing game.....not good.

He very well may play a fair amount this year. But from what I've seen a couple people post, that he isn't fully ready yet. He will end up being a beast....but at this point when he isn't fully ready he may only be marginally better than what we have now. I'd rather have him for an extra year when he is a beast all year. Just my opinion. If he plays a lot and plays great this year and we make the playoffs I'll definitely be proven wrong, and I sure hope that happens!

Imagine when he is a senior.....and really really good, and we could have had him for a whole more year after that, but instead we played him for 25 snaps in the 2015 season. I would have liked to have seen us keep his redshirt.

Yep was a great way to end the half. Right after the TD I lost my feed.....are you guys still able to view?

Why was that on Studsrud? His arm got hit on the one pass....and the 3rd down play the WR was covered like a blanket, no separation.

Yep nice goal line stand, offense needs to get back to it.

Let's keep Grady's redshirt. Just get the guys going that we've got....like we are doing today.

Man incredible start, it's like we are a totally different team than the past 6 quarters.....very refreshing and great to see!

There is that pick we've been waiting for!

Yep...great start. O Line looks like they are trying to prove they can play.

It's definitely a lot better setup than last year where you had to register, and then sometimes when you registered you couldn't get access etc. Now it's easy....just click on the game, I haven't had any issues on the site so far and am liking it a lot better.

You should just be able to click on the game.

Almost game time, didn't see a thread started yet.

24 - 13 UND Also agree it's almost a must win for many reasons. If we lose this there will be a lot of apathy from the fan base among one of them.

Santiago, Grady, Smith, Olivera.....those are some good freshman. Too bad we didn't have the luxury of redshirting all of them this year......they would have been seniors in 2019 for the next go round with NDSU. Would have been nice to have them witness it this time on the sideline, and then bring it home in 2019 as key starters. But this year first.....let's have a good game against UC.

Pretty sure our D-2 offense put up around 40 on the road against FCS Northern Iowa. I would totally wholesale change that offense out with this one for just this year if I could. That offense would have gotten more than 61 yards last week. We keep talking about our offensive line, and rightfully so. So was our offensive line that beat Northern Iowa, who were all D2 recruits that much better than our current O line who are all FCS recruits? If so...that seems kind of sad. Hopefully we bounce back this week and look a lot better.
