Yes he will be back by the time we play them is what I understand.

The thing is, you have to look at the other teams in the top 25 and compare strength of schedule, eye test etc.. No moral victories today. That said, I doubt any other team in the country can play NDSU within 5 points. Maybe the Montana's....that's about it.

I have love/hate with Fruechte. I think he is quite good at times. But cant help call him out on that first and goal and pathetic 4th down repeat call at mid field.

Well then you and every other pollster, or normal headed FCS fan disagree, we are a top 25 team. The good wins we had against good teams, we kicked their ass so we didnt need a big 4th quarter comeback.

You think those 2 loss teams in the creampuff conferences are better than us, ok.

That 4th down playcall at mid field was worse than the reverse against Richmond. Same formation and same play they just ran a few minutes earlier in exact situation. I was screaming WTF before the ball was even snapped. Unbelievable. Might be the most pathetic offensive play call in UND history, but Im sure there are worse. Obviously the fake punt a few years ago is about the same though. Glad our coaches sh*t the bed in big games after putting themselves in good position. Great game by the Defense though.

You know nothing if you dont think this is a top 25 team. Please names the 25 teams ghat arw better. Just flat out stupid statement. But I get it, we are all pissed right now.

Like we actually have a chance if we get the ball back. We haven't come through all year on offense in thr last minute when we needed to. Will it be different this time?

Many of which we had a first down and didnt get a single completion against soft prevent defense

Yep that is what I was gonna say.....we are O game winning drives

I waa like, holy shir we are gonna run exact same play as last time. Unbelievable! Im on the Fire Ike train now

We haven't taken a deep shot all day yet haven't we?

Shades of Montana. Likely will be same end result 🫤

Jerry shouldn't have run that one up the middle....incomplete pass is better than that. Drive over after that play, ugh

Exactly, he was. Then just loses the gsme for us kisr like that. You can't leave 7 points on the board in a gsme like this.

How's the backup kicker looking now?

We are bringing 4

I'm worried about our offense. That SS run up the middle might not be there today. OC needs to call his best game of the year.

Somw odyssey should post somw tailgating pics. How's the weather?

What I think will be interesting is what happens to NDSU if we win? Not sure they should even drop, but maybe they will drop to 2 or 3. But even if they lose they are still pretty much a lock for at least #2 in playoff seedings. We need this more than them......LFG!

It was definitely the right call to increase the single game NDSU tickets so that UND got the money instead of other people buying them cheap and selling and profiting. I agree the corner ones probably should be a little less as those aren't good seats, but sounds like they are almost sold out. It was their first time raising them that much for the SU game. Maybe they will adjust the corners a little bit in two years. But it doesn't seem they are that far off from getting it right, and at least they tried. Plus Im sure hoping in two years we are an even better team than we are now and even more excitement around the football program.

I only have DraftKings, I rarely gamble....but they don't have that game. I would have put a little money on a 13.5 spread at the Alerus.

I haven't watched much of any NDSU this year, is their rushing yardage coming mostly from Payton or the RB's? We've been pretty good against the run this year, and against running QB's. I know Payton is really really good, but at least We've seen quite a few running QB's this year. I imagine YSU QB probably the closest skill set to Cole that We've played? Running QB's will always get some yards, but its refreshing that our defense no longer makes them look like Heisman candidates. Hope they can keep him somewhat contained on Saturday.

Agree, to have 1st down and mid field and go 0-4 is not good. Actually need to get at least something on the first 3 downs so its not 4th and 10. Even a 4 yard completion on 2nd down makes it 4th and 6th and a lot more options. Red zone and the two minute offense (particularly in situations where you cant run the ball because no timeouts) need improvement.
