If we beat SDSU, maybe we sneak into the coaches poll at 25

That has been our MO lately, and I think it will be again. Try and start out similar to last week at YSU, all kinds of mixes of passes to open up the running game. I hope Danny has a few other great play calls ready for this game, going to need a few gems this coming Saturday to keep up with SDSU's offense. Agree with the other poster who said we need a turnover or two. Every time their QB takes a 7 step drop.....I'll be holding my breath, ok probably not a 7 step drop since already in shotgun.

I'll put the over/under on five minutes after NDSU win this for them to comment on this

I'd sure think most all of them are watching it, but ya....curious if they are all watching as a group.

I never knew the story of how the Griddy started after wins.....but here it is if you haven't seen it, kinda cool. https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/everything-you-need-to-know-about-und-coach-bubba-schweigerts-griddy-victory-dance

I've been waiting for Q to be in......in Shotgun formation....take the snap.....take a step or two forward to fake the run, then pull up and hit a TE going down the seam.

I am surprised, however Hoosman has better than expected and has earned more carries than probably anybody expected. Plus add Red into the mix a little too. It's been a good problem to have. Hopefully we can get a game or two that doesn't come down to the wire and Ziebarth can get a few touches.

Random thoughts Transfer portal - our defense definitely isn't as good as it would have been with the guys we lost. However all of the OL transfers, Hoos and Red have made our offense much better than it would have been without the portal so it's probably a wash. I think we just have to get used to needing to score 30 plus points in most games to win this year. I'll never feel comfortable unless we are up 16 or more (two TD's and two 2 point conversions to tie). Tommy - definitely took a step forward this year and his running at the right time has been huge. Now if he can only start connecting on some of the deep balls. I said it a year or two ago, that he tends to over throw those.....which I think is because he is worried about getting pick. Depending on situation and where we are at on the field....need to let our guy make a play. Dennis - He has played a few games, they planning on burning his redshirt? If so I'd think his use would maybe increase and/or try to send him deep sometime? Secondary - Ocansey seems like he will be decent and continue to improve, along with the other younger corners when they get put in there. That said I think overall as a group we are going to continue to be butter at times. Just need to make some big plays now and then to offset it. TE's - if our offense sucked I'd probably be on the we need more TE recieptions, but the offense is clicking and Danny is calling play to take advantage of what they are giving us. I have a feeling Zalvaney will still make some key plays before it's all said and done. I think we will likely go 3-2 the rest of the say. We could pull out a win against SDSU. If we do beat SDSU, I would still be afraid we'd slip up against somebody that we should beat and still possibly end at 7-4, which would at least still be in the playoffs. Our bye is at a perfect time. After getting a few games in, hopefully with a week off and getting coached up things will start to click even more for the OL and young corners. Sure would be nice to go 8-3 though and get a home game!

I'd probably agree with you, our record would probably be the same.....the games probably wouldn't have been such nail biters.

Yep, can't remember what game it was but he did exactly that and it was late in the game at a crucial time. I was shocked he didn't get called for it. I think on this past Saturday after making one nice play he did kind of flex but was facing away from the player...that's not so bad. And on the 2 point break up which was a great play, I was waiting for him to do something but he just pretty much turned around and didn't celebrate much...that was nice to see. Definitely ok to get pumped after a big play, I like that he has that confidence and a little swagger.....you kind of need that as a DB, just have to be careful what you do. Go celebrate with your teammates about it, don't stare down and get into the other guys face over it...eventually that will cost us 15 yards.

That is a heck of a road trip. Sure is better driving back after getting a win though!

kostich gonna kostich!!!

It's going to come down to the last drive.

We needed that miss.

Well SDSU is now a must win.

C'mon someone on D make a big play!!

Please get a stop here, 3 and out!

Yes, he always overthrows the deep ball, he needs to let our guys make a play. Especially if its' Maag.

Most everyone other than you, Midwestern Hawk, and Siouxfan97 think he's a pretty good QB. Sorry we think he's been a pretty good QB for us.

THat was a big one for sure. Was 7 points given to us

Whatever team gets a turnover could be in the drivers seat

Check that, we will need 40 plus to win this one.

Hasn't been a punt by either team yet.
