Expectations for Next Season & New Coach?

Mo. St. is definitely not a great team, but this year they certainly weren't the bottom feeder they have been in the past. Beat two teams ranked in the top 25 and put the highest point total of the season on NDSU's defense.

It would have been a loss if UND matched up with Mo. St. this year IMO. I have no idea what they have coming back next year though so we'll see

Danny boy said they win by 3 TDs...they won't.

Was UND better than Indiana State this year?

Ah yes, because we all know that if team A beats team B by 30 and team B beats team C by 3, then team A will beat team C by 33.

Kind of like Montana St. pounding UND by 40, barely squeaking by UNC, and then UND beating UNC. Makes sense.

Not sure they didn't play each other but based on common opponent SDSU possibly...and this year has nothing to do with next year's 2 teams and UND losing by 21. Just saying I don't think that will happen next year.

I realize comparative scoring has it's limitations. How else do you propose we have this hypothetical conversation?

I guess its a good thing they don't play until next year. Excited to see another vaunted MVFC defense (outside of NDSU's) lock down an OOC opponent.

UND football fans remind me of your favorite corner Mackey. Always talking trash, but never really backing it up. Beat a MVFC opponent and then talk trash about the conference.

UND has played a whopping 1 game against the MVFC in the last 5 years. They lost to the preseason 2nd place team by a whole 7 points in one of their worst seasons ever and put more yards on them than anyone in the MVFC did and more points than all but 1 team (not counting UNI's 2OT points).

Interesting how the conversation has come full circle. Did you happen to notice who that "other team" was that scored so many point on SDSU was?

So UND (a terrible team this year in nearly every aspect) lost to the 4th place MVFC team by a whopping 7 points.

Make up your mind fellas. Does comparative scoring matter or not. A loss is a loss right?

And by the way, had SDSU coaches not had a stroke(figurative) and decided to abandon the run game in the second half. UND would have put up 14-21.

One 3 and out early in the 4th quarter does not equal the second half.

There were many people on this board who questioned SDSU not continuing to go to Zenner. Let's not re-write history.

Also, that 3 and out led to another possession and a touchdown for UND, which is what made the game look much closer than it was IMO.

Hey now, the hypothetical scoring comparison is a better way to do things.

Again, how is this UNDs fault? Back to hypotheticals?

Back on track and topic...expectations: Much better than this past season.

Now don't you SU's trolls have to go sheer sheep???

Just the QB play should make a huge difference. The Oline had the most to prove of any group which say a whole lot about how much they sucked this year. A good thing about getting new coaches is that the best players will play. Gone are the days of wishing for Sparks to get carries and Labat Edwards and Rich to get snaps.
