To the naked eye it did look like it was a bungled hand off, but it was the right call. Ok. Thanks. To the naked eye, it looked like there was a collision in the backfield that caused a fumble. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I posted the below question under SFI's recap of the game. Anyone here care to give their thoughts? Question on the freshman OL that dressed. What was the mentality in choosing those specific players? I believe there were others who were more highly touted coming in, and are supposed to be better players, but was the thought, we don’t want to burn redshirts on the better players, so lets just get some capable bodies in there?

Thanks. It's Bob Stitt's contribution to modern college football offense. You lose the deception that comes with the possibility of a fake handoff but gain the security of knowing it's incomplete if the timing is off (rather than a fumble). The boos in the Alerus were certainly loud and if you didn't see the pitch you'd certainly think it's a fumble. But our coaches weren't arguing because they knew.

We have 12,000 fans that sink a lot of their money into hockey every game. You just have to be realistic about how many fans we can regularly put into the football games. We definitely can build our fan base for football but it is only going to grow in relation to the size community we have. There is only so many fans and businesses to go around. What a great time be a UND sports fan though. If NDSU had another sport on campus that was regularly putting 12,000 fans in the seats their football ticket sales might be affected too. Go UND. 21 minutes ago, Dustin said: The difference between Fargo, Missoula, and Bozeman, is that football is their cash cow sport, whereas Grand Forks has hockey. And it has hockey 2 nights on a weekend. And a season that lasts 5 months. That's a lot of games. If Grand Forks didn't have 11-12k going to every hockey game (over 200,000 people for a full season), there would be 11k at football games. So you say, "can't people do both?" Sure, they CAN. But that's a pretty big commitment. So based on these responses, we should just lock the attendance thread and not talk about it anymore, because the die is cast? I respectfully disagree. There are people who can't afford hockey, but could afford football and these are the people we need to get and in many cases are not getting.

It had to do with the positions they played in relation to the severity of the injuries of the current players. Plus some of the freshmen are not physically or mentally ready to play, which isn't a slam seeing that they've been playing scout team all year, not repping with the UND offense. My opinion is that they would have burned a redshirt of any player in the NAU game if they had no other choice or if it would help them win a conference championship.

No. All I said is that comparing football attendance to NDSU, UM, and MSU is not a controlled experiment due to the hockey factor. I personally think the Al should be sold out every game just like the Ralph is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gundy1124 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I thought Holm should of taken 1-2 more steps to try and punch the ball out thru the end zone instead of diving at the 10??? That's what I was thinking when he was chasing him down. http://www.nfl.com/videos/buffalo-bills/0ap2000000148850/27-Leon-Lett-fumble-in-Super-Bowl-XXVII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think we need to be a little realistic. We have a little smaller group to work with. I do think with work we could eventually fill the joint for a lot of key games. This is fun conversation. So different than it has been the last few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Im watching the replay on eversport. Brady O faked out everyone on the reverse, including the cameraman. Brady O pass for a TD was perfect, waited til the last second drawing the D in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it was a dart, and good thing too otherwise it could have maybe gotten picked off if he lobbed it. He bought time on that play too, he gets a 10 out of 10 for execution on that one for sure! And that fake was one of the better fakes I've ever seen, maybe if he wouldn't have faked out the cameraman they could have submitted it for a top 10 plays of the week or something.

SiouxFan100 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Big play after big play. On both sides. It was a slugfest. Tying TD called back. Interference -some called and some not - NAU last pass into the end zone - nobody was sure for about 5 seconds. Wow! My first game in person in three years. Looked like a bad choose of games for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. We were down by 21 but Rudolph still mixed it up in his play calling. This team can throw the ball which will take defenders out of the box which makes running the ball easier as well. Keeping defenses off balance is key moving forward. This team isn't built for 3rd and 8 when they have to throw the ball on 3rd down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
