SWSiouxMN Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 We have hit the bye week, finally.A time for the team to get as healthy as they are going to be before playing the last 2 games. Discuss the team, playoff hopes, injury concerns, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightingsioux4life Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Running the table, finishing 7-4 and making the playoffs would be huge steps forward for this program. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDColorado Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 This bye week is coming at a crucial time. I am feeling good about the remaining two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 It is fun at least talking about possible playoffs. I don't know if we will, but it is a very achievable possibility of winning the last 2 games. I don't care if we go on the road or somehow would get a home playoff game. This is all gravy this year. Our best teams are coming down the road. We could easily have 2 more wins this year but we didn't get it done and we have no one to blame. Heal up and win 2 more games to finish the season.

Popular Post ClassB Posted November 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm just like everyone else, but boy is it funny to watch the moods change. At 4-4 we were doom and gloom and we will never win another game again, now we are 5-4 and all of a sudden we're in the playoffs lol. Go UND! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darell1976 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Even if we win 1 out of 2 it would be the first winning season since 2011, and 6 wins against DI competition would be the most ever, previous record is 5 set in 2009, 2011, and last year.

At 4-4 we were doom and gloom and we will never win another game again, now we are 5-4 and all of a sudden we're in the playoffs lol. Go UND!I always thought this was a 6-7win season then thought maybe 8 or 9 after the 4-1 start but we blew that. Going into Saturday I thought we'd finish 6-5 going 2-1 in the last 3 losing to MSU.With the win Saturday, an extra week to heel up, and 2 teams we match up well against I like our chances of getting to 7-4 and getting in the playoffs. I hope fans and students realize what is at stake for UND and help fill the Alerus against UNC. UND needs to get the word out to students and fans that playoffs are at stake here and a big crowd is needed to help. The game should be getting pumped any chance they get. The herald and wdaz should be pumping up what's at stake here. This is a big opportunity for the program. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux94 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Man if we could have just hung on to win in either the ISU or Weber game, we'd control our own playoff destiny. Two more wins though and we are certainly in the discussion for the playoffs and could get in. It will be nice to be a littlie healthier going into the last two weeks, it will be important for Studs to be healthy enough to be able to run the ball.

Go UND!I agree there are plenty of mood swings that come and go within a week, but I don't think it is so much the win, as how we won. 2 of those last 3 losses were complete self destruction. This game had the making of another missed opportunity late in the game. UND could have easily caved in the 4th, but they finished it out. Hope they carry that momentum through the bye week.

AFMSGT Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Dropping those two at home to ISU and on the road at Weber St. still sting, but the guys have a chance to go out with a bang in November, even if they don't make the playoffs. The team showed guts and heart on Saturday against MSU. Hopefully, the defense continues to evolve and cut the points allowed down to the teens or low 20s in the remaining games. Its hard to make a living giving up points in the 30s and puts alot of pressure on your offense. Nice to see Santiago, Georges, and Olivera getting lose, Studs back in the lineup and the DBs contesting deep balls and holding their own all day. Winning the turnover battle will have a direct impact on how the 2015 season wraps up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homer Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I know the most important game is the next one but defensively how much of the bye week is spent preparing for Cal Poly and the option offense?Getting 100% healthy is priority #1.

UNDColorado Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 7-4 or bust at this point.UNC- They are playing better but no reason we cant take care of them at home. Especially after an extra week to heal and work out kinks.Poly- A healthier UND defense that has something to play for versus a run oriented team. I will take a determined UND D and UND O with something to prove.I would also like to point out that during UND's 3 game skid I was not one calling for heads to roll or panic. It is year 1.5 essentially in a new program so what to some really expect? Now we have a glimmer of hope and a well place bye week. Time to prove something boys! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gundy1124 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 We need the Randy Ratio for the last 2 games. For us it's the Clive Theorem. Clive needs 8-10 targets and 5+ receptions to let teams know of the consequences that exist for stacking the box. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the second TD, Clive made a nice move. Glad to see him healthy. Not to count our chicken before they hatch but I think we have a good chance for the playoffs. UNC and Cal Poly are good match ups for us. Question what is the Status on Greely will he be back this year? Also Grady, I hope his injury will heal in the next 2 weeks.

geaux_sioux Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Anyone notice what happened to our run game after Grady went down? He was mauling their team. He's going to be so good it's scary. My stomach dropped when he got rolled up on because I thought he broke his leg. Luckily it looked like he didn't. I hope it's "just" an ankle because he may have been our best player on Saturday. And he's a true fr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's a true fr.If I remember correctly, I think he was hurt in the 4th qtr so didn't notice much change to the running game. Although, Oliviera big run was on the left side of the line in the 4th qtr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to prove something boys!The unc game has me a little bit worried. Being at home and having an extra week off will be nice, just hope the team doesn't over look any team! Bubba is always focused and has this this on the right path , but sometimes the players see the opponent as don't play up their standards. Unc lost on a last sec fg to e wash 2 weeks ago. They are an improved team over the years past and literally have nothing to lose. They are not necessarily a good team but anything can happen, aka South Dakota. Und is still beat up, missing several marquee players on d, just one game at a time!!! Edited November 2, 2015 by Longtime fan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
