It looks a little akward, like he's not expecting it because he slowed a bit, but he had his head turned back and was looking for the ball.....but then kinda akwardly reaches his arm out for it because he was breaking more straight across and slowed up a bit instead of breaking in and continuing to go full speed. At the time of the game I had kind of blamed Tommy for a bad throw and leading him too far, but after watching I can see why he threw it where he did......Richter would have been there if he wouldn't have slowed up that little bit. Not sure if Ricther was right or wrong on how he ran that route, but it sure looks like that is what happened, and I don't think it had much to do with a Timeout not being taken. And yes there were 3 defenders in that area, and at the time watching Live I thought it was a risky throw. But watching again there was a fairly wide open window there. After that sack, maybe 60-70% of coaches would have taken a timeout, and 30-40% wouldn't have. So I don't think it's like a 95% that he should have taken a timeout after the sack. After all of the blunders this year though it is easy in hindsight to say that now and blame it on the coaches. But if Richter keeps running full speed that is a huge completion and we are sitting good.

I just watched the play about 10 times. As another poster mentioned, and I hadn't caught it at the time, when Richter breaks to the inside....he slows up just a bit. Would you say if he keeps running the route the way Tommy expects him...meaning continuing full speed to the inside......that the ball hits him in the hands?

And when you are a program that will get a ton of very very highly qualified applicants wanting to take over.

I agree with all of your points here. Here are my thoughts: 1. Bubba isn't getting bought out of his contract, so we are stuck here for a little bit, but my god I hope they learned a little something this year from their mistakes. 2. Could Caden Dennis be that guy that gives us that deep threat to spread the field next year, hopefully so. 3. Tommy running as much as he did yesterday did really change things. Hopefully he continues that next year and/or Feeney beats him out and makes those 5-8 plays with his legs a game that we need. 4. That new kicker we recruited looks pretty good. Hopefully he will be that guy for us for the next four years. Looks like a decent punter as well. Looks like he should be able to put the ball in the end zone on almost every kickoff too. So 2-4 look like they could be promising for next year. #1 issue....I guess we'll see.

I think if it was 4th and long and we were inside the 20 we woulda tried a FG.

Frustrating frustrating season.

Waletsko probably doesn't get beat on that play for the sack.

Who else is picturing a missed FG for the tie as time expires.

Somebody needs to make a play!

Geezes he was wide open.

Looks to be another one score game.

Ok I'll take that break!

I think it was a TD and I think they will give it to them.

ya I think he may have been over if they have a better view.

I hope they don't have a better view of it

Wow this will be huge if they are short!

Ugh missed a potential huge sack.

Somebody needs to step up and make a play

Great drive!!

Run Q twice on sneak?

You know why people post so many positive things about him, is because of YOU. Because you are always sh*tting on him every week...every game. You're like a broken record.

Yes that's what both of those guys think. If we don't sh*t on our QB weekly, we don't have high enough standards.

Hey Midwestern and UND-Football- Fan. We have the Quarterbacks we have. I don't think one person on here has ever said Tommy is the best QB in the world and UND should not try to improve at that position because Tommy is the best their could possibly be. I don't know what purpose it serves to try and sh*t on Tommy every single week....week after week after week after week, saying the same things over and over and over. I guess because we praise Tommy at times when he does stuff well means we think he is the best ever and the best we can ever do at that position. Ok.

Do you think they will let us switch at half?

I agree. But sure would be nice if we could have something go our way, but yes you make your own luck/breaks 99% of the time.
