WeAreNorthDakota Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 That's huge. Our chances of an upset just skyrocketed. Obviously a win over MSU without McGhee would be discounted a good amount but it would certainly be better than a loss. I don't mean to sound like I'm cheering an injury but this changes the dynamic of this season significantly in our favor. Quote
108498 Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I do not think that the injury will be that big of a game changer. I still see us losing big. Hope I am way off though. Quote

I don't mean to sound like I'm cheering an injury but this changes the dynamic of this season significantly in our favor. That is the game of football. When was the last year a UND QB played the entire year? Freund maybe? Quote
Matt Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I do not think that the injury will be that big of a game changer. I still see us losing big. Hope I am way off though. I'm gonna guess the MSU staff would disagree with you about that. Quote

Not sure who their backup is but he has put up some of the best overall qb numbers in fcs the last couple years and has started since he was a freshman. You don't just replace that. Quote

You must not know much about MSU or McGhee then. And you predicted a 4 score loss this past weekend. This changes the dynamics of the game significantly. 2 Quote

Losing the 2-time defending Big Sky Offensive Player of the Year, their all-time leader in touchdown passes and wins as a starting quarterback, is most definitely a game changer. This suddenly became a very winnable game. 1 Quote
NorthDakotaHockey Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I really thought ND was going to come back and beat SDSU in OT. Lots of lessons learned. I said it before and I'll say it again. This team runs the table, and takes out the Bison in an early round of the FCS playoffs. 1 Quote

UNDBIZ Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 McFeely blog on the demise of the UND defense compared to the dII years: http://kfgo.com/blog...hat-went-wrong/ UND just hasn't caught up to the talent level needed in Division I football, having gotten a late start in the process compared to SDSU and North Dakota State. We had the talent to beat good FCS teams while we were D2 and now we don't, so I think people can go ahead and drop this excuse. 1 Quote

SiouxMD Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 We had the talent to beat good FCS teams while we were D2 and now we don't, so I think people can go ahead and drop this excuse. UND beat one decent FCS team while we were DII. FU went 6-5 and 3-8 in their first two years after the transition. UND went 5-6 and yet to be determined...I won't mention the Yotes. Quote

Actually I shouldn't say we don't have the talent now because I believe the talent is there to compete. We also had enough talent while we were D2 so either way it shouldn't be used as an excuse.

iramurphy Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 We have the talent to beat good FCS teams. We can't have 10 penalities, Can't waste timeouts, Can't turn the ball over and we need our front 7 to be more than a speed bump. Our super receivers can't drop balls. If you can beat your opponent on one play, then you can beat him on the next, then the next and so on. Gotta dig deeper and out work and outhustle a more talented opponent. Could have won the SDSU game but didn't. Until we put together some consistent play from start to finish we are still a "work in progress". If we get better every game we can contend for a playoff spot. Quote

Damned straight Ira. And if we get a playoff spot, we run into NDSWho and end their present glory days. Cold. Hard. Truth. This team can do it. And will. Gotta get back on my morphine drip. And no boys and girls, it is not making me delusional. We'll tee 'em all up and we will knock 'em all down. NDSU included. Quote

82SiouxGuy Posted September 10, 2013 Posted September 10, 2013 Really going all out to become part of FU's squad aren't you? He can't compete on the football field so he has to try to impress them in some way. He's choosing the squad's other area of expertise. Quote
