UND-FB-FAN Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 8 minutes ago, Cratter said: Giving the other team a first down on a punt penalty gave Richmond momentum of having a first down with 65 yards to drive to score. It was not the reason UND lost the game. It didn't help any. The blocked punt was also a killer. Special Teams hurt. That missed field goal would've been nice to have, also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting behind Richnonds bench that play gave them life. The long pass shortly after gave them energy and momentum.

SIOUXFAN97 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 and i' guess after reading this thread i surprised that no one has pointed out that we should have let them score on first and goal with one minute left.... would you rather have to go 80 yards with one minute and 1 timeout to score a td or hope richmond misses a 1 yard field goal... i know which one i would do 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game of emotion Yes they gained momentum after they had none. UND couldn't gain momentum after they had none. UND had momentum early in the game. Richmond later in the game. Richmond used that momentum to score more points than UND did when it had the momentum. Richmond wins. Point being it's easy to see that play of what gained momentum. But equal is what didn't gain momentum. So and so dropped a pass on a third down that would have given the team a first down and given UND momentum back (in the fourth)...There for one also has to say that receiver that dropped that pass "cost UND the game."

UND-1 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Going to call out a partial section of fans: inside upper half of 203 would sit a good part of the game, even on some third downs. Some third downs they stood, yes, but other third downs there would be 6-7 rows and probably the first 10 seats ALL sitting. Looked so stupid when the other 10,000 people were standing and yelling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a combination of events to lose after 24 - 7. The pendulum swung immediately with the block, then momenten continued to build till last play of the game as Richmond lead for the first time with 0 seconds left.

It's was part of a a momentum builder and they build more on the back of UND not being able to do anything to stop it. And they were able to use it to outscore UND than when they had momentum. People saying it was the reason UND lost the game which I say . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 UND 3rd down conversions earlier 4-9. With three minutes left in the game commentators, mention UND was 1-6 on the last 7. And after that missed 3rd down conversion that could have kept the drive alive ran the clock down and kicked a UND game winning field goal. They had to give Richmond the ball back and the rest is history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our inability to move the ball in the 4th quarter are also reasons to the 24 - 7 floop. There were many many plays and play calls that contributed to this melt down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Everyone knows there are turning points that specifically don't cost you the game, but change the total complexion of the game. If UND, would have lost to BC in hockey last night, how many people would have said it was Gardner's penalty that cost us the game? They could have killed the penalties, yet it was a turning point that turned the whole tenor of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to the shift it looked like confusion on the defense. Then they shifted and really caught UND off guard and out manned in that area.

Sioux94 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Punt team had a direct hand in 2/3's of our losses this season. I believe after that SB game when we got the punt blocked and people were pissed, somebody commented it wouldn't happen again. Uh well it did. Let's not forget that we gave up a punt return for a TD as well last night but there was a penalty. I went to the bathroom during the punt and missed it so I'm not sure if it was a good flag, or if we lucked out and got saved by that penalty.

Cratter Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Will Ratelle. Eric Schmidt. No dominate linebacker this year. Cole Reyes. Cole Reyes is what we heard all season. Isn't the linebackers almost like the QB of a defense? Taj was missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inability of UND to regain momentum on offense or defense after that by not staying sharp cost and essentially coasting helped cost them the game. This is an accurate analysis. Good teams overcome those brain farts. Whats really got me pissed is we are that good team but we don't deliver today when it really counts. We could have won the conference alone next week. What's the point of becoming a dominant team in a power conference if your going to lay an egg against an eastern team of mostly backups. I can't figure this one out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That missed field goal would've been nice to have, also. When a team is on the ropes facing a knockout.. The mentality is, all we need is one break or bounce or call to go our way. In most playoff games, if you have a kick blocked, you will lose. In contrast, if you score on a special teams play, you will usually win.

Cratter Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 When it's fourth and 4 on the opposing 35 yard line. I'd like to see UND go for it. Instead of punting it. Could have been a huge momentum shift. Did UND go for it on fourth down once? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
