From the Game Notes, Fiedler still listed as a starter, but Toivonen and Adeoti still out. Maag listed as a backup, so he's probably a game-time decision; we need him bigtime.
Luke is out for the year. Right arm in a cast for a minimum 3 weeks due to ligament damage and cracked bone. !@#!$ way to end senior year and season.

This! I know I'm a broken record on this but seriously - is not throwing to the TE one of the most fundamental ways to give a sputtering offense a boost? Fiedler had one ball - it went for about 15 and a 1st down. Cloyd got zero targets. Can someone smarter than me (shouldn't be hard to find) explain this to me?
I agree. The TEs on this team are highly underutilized. They have good hands and size so use them. Fiedler dislocated his right wrist on that play. MRI tonight. Hoping for the best as he is needed in the run game for a possible playoff run. Doughtful this weekend. Hope not broken but swollen bad.

A little bias, but loved Luke Fiedler’s tenacity at blocking. Never stops till the whistle blows which wears down the opponent during the game. If anyone watched film I can bet he has the most pancakes of any player these last few years. Remember a play 3 years ago where he blocked a Montana or Montana State DE or LB 30 yards down field and planted him, other player retaliated (pissed off) and got a personnel foul. Kostich said at team meeting you can’t tell me that isnt f——king better than a catch, haha. Came in as a small TE and put on the pounds to become one of the best blocking TEs UND has had, in my mind. He was originally hoping to be more of a receiving TE, but we know that story with the type of play calling.
Other than that these Seniors have been a huge part of this growing program, new indoor HPC, School Logo/Name/Mascot and the first Big Sky championship. Gonna be missed for sure.

Agreed! TE's only having 7-8 catches each a season is not acceptable with the talent they have. After the 1st game when Luke had 4 catches I thought the narrative would change? Need to quit calling this a pro-style offense.

It's so wierd, the TE's had 4 receptions in the first half of the first game......have pretty much disappeared since then.
Ya, Luke had the 4 catches and was thinking the QB might start looking their way this year. He had a couple catches the next 2 games and then it dried up. Cloyd got a couple following those games till the Sac game and finally found him for a TD. Then Luke the last game on the QB scramble. I've been baffled since day one on why they don't use Luke and Cloyd more? They are open often during the games just seems the QB stares down the receivers or forces the throws instead of looking to the other routes/options for a play. These two have great hands and need to be utilized more. Again, pro-style offense as most call it does not hold water.

Luke is #1 still and plays majority on the downs. Not sure I understand why they don't use Luke more on 3rd down sets. Hasn't dropped a pass this year. First few games Luke got a number of throws but has seemed to dry up these last few games. They still do use a lot of 2 TE sets. The last couple blow outs Luke had not played the 2nd halfs as they are trying to get the 3 and 4 guys on the field for experience.

I thought the call to Brady was actually a good thing. Players didn’t quite execute that call properly but we had a great matchup and should have scored.
Cloyd is much more than a blocking TE. I’d rather throw him the balk than Luke honestly.
I need to chime in on this one. Over the last couple years Cloyd has dropped alot more passes then Luke (who has not dropped a catch this year) and Luke is far more agressive and a better blocker than Cloyd. I still say Luke has better hands and first step even if he lacks the speed. Cloyd needs to become a more agressive blocker and penalties are killing him this year.

You know they are going to stack the box and make us score throwing the football. Can we do it?
Yes, get the TEs involved to open the passing and running game

I agree the TE’s need to be envolved much more this year to open things up. I see Fiedler having a big year if he stays healthy. Best blocker, first step and hands of the group. Not the fastest but has the mean streak they need and carries his blocks throught the whistle.

Hey Guys,
New to the forum and, as i am a transplanted North Dakotan out here in Seattle figured it would be a good time to join up and see if anyone will be making the trip to the Pacific Northwest for the game. It will be my 2.5 year old son's first game (he will be decked out in Green and White, of course) and i played for Coach Berg and am hoping to run into him as well. Would love to see some of my fellow Midwesterners and UND fans.
Cheers,
Ryan
Will definately be there. My kids last year plus the trip to Utah last year was a blast and great Utah fans. How are the Washington fans? Hear its one of the best college atmospheres in the country with the water/boats. Hope the tail gateing is good? UND alumni put on a great one for us last year in Utah. You be sitting with the UND crowd?

When I was up there it was a typical Jan. Blizzard. My kid loved it, still has no regrets, and the HPC was under construction. The HPC for sure is a big sell for the program to the recruits. Best indoor practice facility FBS or FCS I've seen to date as far as the field and track. Phase II however is a must for the athletes and coaches.

Haven't seen much if any progress from QBs under Rudy.
Why don't we have someone of staff that's as QB coach?

We've recruited some serious athletes at the tight end position but then game day rolls around and they get maybe a handful of plays as a focus. With how we've recruited tight ends, you'd think they'd be the focus of at least a third of the passing attack.
Can't agree more. Makes no sense. The current TE's are very athletic and not used to there potential. All you hear about is the pro style offense we are using and the TE's are not involved for the most part in the pass offense. Nothing like you see at the next level.

No question I plan on being there. Hoping for a large UND tailgating group. Anyone know if there is a UND alumni group in the area that will be setting up a spot?

Very young team. Only one junior on defensive line. Will be interesting if we can match up with them? They might be a top 10 team next year at the start of the season.

The other teams don't have a snowball's chance in hell to win a national championship.
I'm all for it and maybe the coaches learned to reevaluate the importance. Goals should be more than that though for the players.
I can guarantee ever years goal is for a national championship.

NDSU got rings for their first Great West title. Not sure about The Valley. Pretty sure every year but last year when they won The Valley they won the whole thing so a conference ring wouldn’t be needed.
My understanding is that past Big Sky champions all received rings thru the schools. Even EW got them the same year as co champiions. For those who dont think the rings are a big deal, they are and means alot to the players as a remeberance of the accomplishment down the road. Why did the other programs get rings that year. Bull---- if it comes down to numbers. If one team receives them all team should receive fhem.

Not saying it had anything to do with the season as i believe the injuries this season were a big reason for the loses as well as the lack of play calling but the players not geting rings for last years conference championship left a sour taste in there mouths. That goes for all the players. Its bull---- that the school didnt find a way to pay, raise money or allow the players to buy the Rings. Just saying.

Funding for championship rings should be done through additional booster fundraising IMO.
Speaking of rings. Some how the athletic department needs to find a way to fund or get the players rings. !@#!$ season or not the kids deserve it. I can tell you that most of the players if not all were and are upset about it. I bet they are the first big sky champions to not recieve them. Pretty sad a DIV 1 program can't find a way. This will also not help with recuiting the top players thats for sure. The team down south seems to find a way!
