Our offense should be based on scoring efficiency. I swear to God the current staff would take a 6 minute drive with no points over a 1 minute drive that ends in a touchdown. That's the way the game is called anyway.

Someone was pissy about my comment, privately. I was predicting at 14-0 we hit bottom, during the game. I still thought we'd win after watching 1 quarter of action. We were moving the ball and the Portland St. O-line was sketch at left tackle. If I wasn't clear, that was my positive outlook that from 14-0 we'd finish the year stronger.

We have a head coach in the NFL at 30 years old. A few others started in their 30's, I think Tomlin was 34-35 when he started at Pitt. I think we could have an OC in FCS football at 30-31 or whatever Danny is. Plus, he played the most critical position on offense. I would not be too worried about it.

Nailed it-

Was it amusing or was it disheartening listening to the home commentators, the one that played RB at Notre Dame wondering about 2 things? 1) where is the screen for UND 2) should find away to have Santiago and Brady on the field at the same time.

I felt at 14-0 we hit rock bottom on the year. We responded and it actually looked like we were having fun. Even 2 quality losses to finish the year would be OK, compared to getting embarrassed. 1-1 would be fantastic.

I hope someone knocks out Riley. He is a cocky SOB.

I thought we'd hit something 15-20 yards and kick a FG. I was wrong.

I actually put the reverse pass in. Noah threw a bad ball, but it worked.

Brady was on the field. It is a rule, 1 RB at a time. Where have you been all year??

Time to throw into traffic.

Is this rock bottom? Did we just hit it?

Portland St. scores on a RB wheel route. Works for most teams. We don't run that play of course.

Off sides. Check

Are we on a hidden camera show this season?

Montana getting their tits lit by Weber St. This is why I was so pissed about our incompetence in our game against the Griz. They are a pretty average team, we made them look good.

That's who I had in mind, Big C. 315 to 330 lbs with feet, couldn't block him. Can Bennet and Tank dominate next year, or will someone emerge like Morrison or Ott, or Quentin?

It's been awhile and nobody is real fresh in anyone's mind. We need dominant players on each level of the defense. Having 10 game ready D-lineman without a dominant player really doesn't get us very far. I think Tank dominated the Cal Poly game at home last year. But haven't seen that level since. Don't take comfort in sheer numbers, need some special guys if we are going to be a perennial top 10.

Anyone, Who's our last dominant D-lineman at UND?

Ya, that was a brutal post and thankfully the exception on this forum. Anger and frustration with the results is one thing but I for 1 am not doubting the players and their emotional and physical investment in trying to win games.

FYP - Off-Field Baggies (and scale)

I witnessed Schultz and his squatting. It's true what you say. The bar looked like a noodle. I myself tweaked my back on a max power clean. Although the training staff didn't believe in it, I had to see a chiropractor on my own dime just to straighten up the next few days. During that time, I thought to myself, is this really necessary, getting hurt in the weight room?

I read something about the NFL some time ago. About 1/3 retire, and of the 2/3 that return productivity is down. Just one study, but it isn't too positive. However, Harris is younger than the average NFL guy and for his height doesn't carry a lot of weight.

I pre-snap cringe sometimes on the match-ups we get caught in.

Every game it becomes obvious that the opposing team is going to get the ball to their best players in space, and we seldom stop it. It was #1 in space and #17 for 1-on-1 situations for Sac St. 12 out of 13 teams in the league do this on offense. I bet the worst defense in any league is usually hurt by 3 and outs and a crappy 3rd down conversion rate by their own offense. Check and check for the UND offense. What can the defense do better this year? Bracket and double the best player on the opposing team on 3rd downs.
