fightin'su Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 on the UND site it said that the back to back shutouts the sioux recorded has'nt happened since '81. any idea what the all-time school record is for consecutive shutouts? i got a feeling the 3rd in a row is coming on sat.

jimdahl Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 In modern times: 1979 Cal-State Sacramento 31-0 @ SDSU 13-0 Illinois State 20-0 For the next 3+ you have to go back to 1940 and there are quite a few instances of 3 before that, including a shutout against Montana. When you go back far enough it gets crazy -- there are years in which UND had 5-6 shutouts and allowed as few as 3 points all season.

Diggler Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I don't care what the records say, UND had back-to-back shutouts in the 2001 playoffs against Pitt State and UC-Davis. They did give up an intentional safety, but I don't really care they are shutouts to me. And those two shutouts are worthy of about 5 normal shutouts, especially the one against UC-Davis. Those were two of the most impressive defensive performances I've ever seen and they came back to back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Forgive me Diggler, I was one calling to take the safety over the shutout. With so little time left, having just stopped UC-Davis from scoring, and having the ball that deep in your own end with a 14 point lead the strategy and mathematics made the most sense: 14-0 Eating as much clock as possible, give them 2 points Give them the free kick, cover well, and put them 70 yards from scoring a TD Play the defense you've played all day and run the game out Even if they get the TD and a 2 point conversion .... they're down 4, they'll have next to no time, and a FG doesn't beat you.

airmail Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I can't speak for 'diggler', but I consider it a shutout too. Certainly, the choice to take the safety was the correct one. But since the 2 points were given away, I call it somewhere in the lines of a "moral victory." Is there such a thing as a "moral shutout?"

UCDAVISAGGIE Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 So do you count games when the second and third teamers "gave away points" as shutouts too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 No, we only count shutouts when the opponent's vaunted first-team offense can't get it done. We don't note if it's our second- or third-team that stiffs them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
