Feff Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Rudolph goes back and forth on being a very good OC and a very poor OC. For long stretches he's overly conservative, lacks imagination, and becomes very easy to read. Then all of a sudden the playbook opens, the offense hums along looking unstoppable, and everyone wonders where that was the rest of the game. 3 Quote
ND1 Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Status of studsrud? before the shoulder was wrapped, he was throwing the ball on the sidelines. Quote

UND may not find the momentum it needed without that play. Without the injury (that BTW happened on a QB sweep, not QB power) UND's passing game would've picked up. Only after the backups were in did we completely telegraph which plays were coming. Studs could've been injured like that on any play, not Rudolph's fault. Yes, but why would we risk it when we've got 3 rb's and a fb? I am disappointed with how much we ran Studs, even though he typically does excel in that style. Even worse, he keeps running with the backup qb. Whaddya do when he gets injured? 2 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 #5 ran 13 times for 51 yards. Our QBs ran 12 times for 4 yards. Just saying.......... Brady should have had 20-25 carries vs the loaded box since UND wouldn't/couldn't throw it. 2 Quote
HawkinNutts Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 How many pre and post studs injury? Quote
Air Force One Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 2 hours ago, UNDBIZ said: That read option with Studs has been a stupid waste. Only ever worked against garbage Sacramento and now it may cost us our only QB. Rudolph needs to be held personally responsible for getting Studsrud hurt. You could see each time he carried the ball in the second he was getting more and more beat up. Then Bartels got hurt late in the fourth on a running play to the Weber sideline. The offense ran the same five plays all day. 3 Quote
F'n Hawks Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 I'm very disappointed with the crowd, big game against two undefeated teams in big sky play, biggest game in Bubba era and only 8,700 show up, thats embarrassing. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 I felt like I jinxed the team by not making the GameDay thread..... Then I picked up a lucky penny at half time and it worked out in the end. Rudolph had a very off day. 0 passes in the first quarter from my memory. Can't do that. How do you expect the qb to find any rhythm that way? Schmidt also had a bad first half. Didn't bring enough pressure. Second half, as usual, he had them figured out. Can't blame Rudolph for TE injury but I wasn't at all happy with his play calling. It felt like he didn't think our WR could separate from their DBS. By the way their DBs are pretty good. Heidelbaugh threw a beatiful pass on that deep ball that was dropped. If you're going to play him he needs to throw it. Tough tough game today against a good team but we pulled it out. We're limping to the finish but damn it our team doesn't quit. I like our team. 1 Quote
Cratter Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 It's was easy to see coming. Studs got up showing signs of being banged up after running the last two games. Including a called run that studs came up hurting earlier in this game. Did rudolph the red nosed reindeer not know und was a injury away from being 2-7. 3 Quote

You can't always play call just to not get hurt. True, but I think you need to when you are already using a backup and are apparently unwilling to play your freshman. 1 Quote

He also has to call the game to get to 7 wins and a chance at 8, than 9. Sucks getting the QB hurt but to Oxbows point earlier Weber was putting 8 in the box. We weren't running great and Studs wasn't exactly tearing it up throwing the ball pre-injury. I think he was hurt coming in. 1 Quote

SantIago and brady can only carry him so long. Good to average DCs will expose him 2 Quote

Cratter Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 I watched Studs get up limping a game or two ago....and then we called a QB run the next play. Quote
UNDMOORHEAD Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 1 hour ago, Oxbow6 said: I'll go back to UND's first 2 offensive series.......WSU had 8 in the box with deep safety within 10-12 yards of the line of scrimmage....not even a PA pass called. Became a numbers game. Tough to get a push being outnumbered most of the game. Why is it we don't call more PA passes? The way teams play us they need to pass to open up the run. Quote
