Santiago seems like a pretty humble kid. Doesn't look like taunting to me. Totally agree. I don't think that Santiago is that kind of a kid. I agree that he comes across as a pretty humble kid.

Our base pass block pocket is too tight and too predictable. Keaton throws well on the run. I feel our offensive identity is still MIA this season. Completely agree. Running the ball the majority of the time is fine, but the play-action and counter game is not there yet. Play-action bootlegs with a run/pass option are desperately needed given Studsrud's abilities. Get Cloyd and any other TE that can run routes and catch involved more. Also, I think Santiago and Oliveira should be in the game at the same time a lot more. We'll see what Bubba and Rudolph come up with, but there needs to be some minor changes. Defense played great on Saturday, especially when you factor in the two defensive touchdowns; however, they can't give up the big play (the long TD pass against Tyus Carter was pathetic in terms of execution and it was a back-breaker). If the offense doesn't turn it over and they sustain drives better, the defense can shine and should be able to hold down the scoring quite well. The 34 points given up in regulation on Saturday was skewed by bad UND T.O.P. and big pass plays. UND's offense has to help out the defense some.

I'm in the lower level of 205 and it was noticeably sparse to start the 4th. On the whole though, I thought the crowd was great. Section 214 was pretty empty after they announced the winner. Pretty sad as they missed one hell of a comeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the offense can keep some drives going and give the defense a rest then I think we will see what the D can really do. It would also keep the other teams offense out of rhythm. Build a lead, shutdown the run game and get after the QB. That's the kind of game I would like to watch.

BigGame Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Outside of a handful of years the student section at UND football game has been crap. They only support a winner and sometimes not even that. Most fans in all sports are fair weather type fans and UND has plenty of them and I am not just talking about the student section this is all fans. If the game is important enough to attend I would like to think most could stick it our to support the team. Some likely have good reason to leave early but a mass exodus does seem more like they aren't really at the game to support and cheer on the team. Most college students don't have anything so important they need to leave mid game although large chunks of this game were hard to watch.

That's just an asinine, holier than thou, thing to say. You think we enjoyed the beat down we were getting prior to the 4th quarter? We showed up in a huge number, - following an 0-2 start just to see the team start getting whipped. Like it or not we have better things to do if we decide the activity isn't worth our time, whether that's UND football or not. I do take a little offense at the attitude because you imply that student shouldn't show or the football team is lucky students showed up because they were 0 - 2 going into the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we had a packed house every game for the whole game. But I'm also not gonna go jump down their throats for leaving or call them snowflakes and entitled because they want to do something else.

Maybe their 4 year old kid was antsy and couldn't sit still any longer. Maybe they had a night ob that they had to get to. Seeing fans leave during the game sucks whether they are students or not. Everyone had their reasons for leaving, justified or not. The reason the students are getting ripped is it is obvious the reason they stuck around. Once the tuition prize was awarded, they left in masses. So it is not off limits to question your reasons and your motives for being at the game.

After USD marched down the field the opening drive of the 3rd quarter to make it a 20 point game, can you blame kids who weren't really fans before the game for saying "Well, we may as well stick around for the tuition drawing"? This was UND's opportunity to convince them to become fans and the offense fell flat for 45 minutes..... again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisUND1 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Something that really got under my skin was at the beginning of the game when UND was on offense trying to run plays, and our student section was booing the Fighting Hawks name being said over the PA, and starting Sioux Forever cheers.

The Sicatoka Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 What I learned this weekend: - The offensive line still needs a lot of work. 2nd and goal at the 1 foot line in the 2nd OT, to win, and no push? So goes the offensive line, so goes the season. - There's a play USD needs to take out of their play book. It was good for 14 point ... for UND's defense. Their QB can not make that throw. Just ask 8 and 19. - The first two losses are on me. Why? I wore my new Fighting Hawks hat all day Saturday and UND won. I didn't wear it for SBU or BGSU.

I guess that is what happens when you bribe the student s to attend. By no means am I lets the rest of the crowd off the hook. No reason for them to leave.

We can't afford to put anything in the hands of the referees. I would call it taunting. Kind of like tapping a kid on the head and saying good try.
