Gameday: UND vs SUU 1PM

Honestly did not think the hit by #70 on the last play was all that egregious. It was someone else's call to run a play and it looked like he was just playing through the whistle. The chest thump was perhaps a bit over the top.

Absolutely bush league out of SUU. Hard to condemn the entire SUU program for that one player's actions, but the way the entire SUU offense was called at the end there makes it easier. SUU's head coach should receive a nice phone call or letter regarding how inappropriate (aka fucking stupid) his team's actions were at the end. 

I hope the SUU program and fans (all 12 of them) enjoy the loss -- they deserve it. It could've been by more if UND wanted it to be. Although it is tempting to want UND to do more scoring, they need to stay healthy and pull the starters in games that get out of hand. Reyes' injury occured when playing while the Sac St. game was out of hand.

Definitely over the top.... And showed intent to be a jack ass. Gave Bubba an in to stick up for his captain.

Playing thru the whistle is fine, but blindsiding a guy at the whistle at the end of a 45-23 ass whooping is bush. It's  hard to believe he didn't have intent to injure especially when it also appears to be a head to head hit.

Yeah, I see it completely differently than you, as does Bubba apparently. If someone like Connor O'Brien gets hurt on that play, which easily could've happened because of a difference in effort, is it worth it? Absolutely not. There's certain unwritten rules of gamesmanship that some dont get -- #70 is one of those clueless ones.

The horn was going off as he hit him.  100% bush league.

Play never should have happened. Guess I don't necessarily mean their defense is responsible, but it reflects poorly on the whole program. 

My take; luckily no one got hurt. SUU (last years conference champions) is a well coached and run team. This player will be talked to/disciplined. Things happen in football, this is over. Let's look to next week.

don't make any excuses for any of those losers...the head coach should have called a fullback dive and that's that...once bubba took a knee the HEAD COACH should have reciprocated....simple as that...

Hell no. We don't have a buy til week 12. Spread the carries as thin as possible. Big picture.

Agreed, we have three running backs that are all dynamic and capable of breaking something. Oliviera is a punisher but has shown improved vision this year. Santiago is one tackle away from breaking a big one seemingly every play. Gordon has shown the ability to pop a long run as well. Give all three of them carries, obviously Oliviera/Santiago more, but the committee is strong.

If Santiago is unstoppable then yes run him as much as possible but if can't get it going consistently then we need to rotate the backs and keep them fresh. we have so much talent in the backfield we need to put each of them in position to make defenses pay.

also how do we know Conner is ok after that hit to the head? Any confirmation that he is ok?

john can take it 80 plus yards on any given run...maybe brady "only" gets 7...that could be difference bt winning the game or losing by 3...plus john is 20 years old...he can handle 20 rushes a game easily!

Also part of the big picture, Gordon and olivera have too much talent to only get a few carries per game.  Need to get everyone their share of touches if you expect them to stay around.

Find ways to get John the ball in space but you can't argue with Brady getting carries.  Dude is a load and a complete change of pace.  No dancing, just lower the shoulder.
