Day By Day

Ketteringham seems to struggle with the corner fade route.  The throw to Wanzek in the SHSU game was also pretty bad, just got lucky.

Was the exact same play.  The safety recognized it and came over when Wanzek wheeled

Also from the snap Kett stared Wanzek down. Pretty bad overall play on his part. He needs to get better st manipulating things with his eyes.

Yeah I don’t know what that was. Felt like there was a route open to just get the first down. 

I didn't see a replay until that highlight.  He wasn't even remotely open.  Looked like they tried to go back shoulder again but went back shoulder into double coverage.  Someone had to have been open somewhere.

how about the two previous plays...instead of rudy having brady being the guy how about john (former wr)...and then the next play how about Luke (receiving te) instead of the Alex (blocking te)....?

I thought the call to Brady was actually a good thing. Players didn’t quite execute that call properly but we had a great matchup and should have scored.

Cloyd is much more than a blocking TE. I’d rather throw him the balk than Luke honestly.

I need to chime in on this one.  Over the last couple years Cloyd has dropped alot more passes then Luke (who has not dropped a catch this year) and Luke is far more agressive and a better blocker than Cloyd.  I still say Luke has better hands  and first step even if he lacks the speed.  Cloyd needs to become a more agressive blocker and penalties are killing him this year.

Cloyd's a TE: in-traffic, banged-as-it-comes-in, catches are those TEs have to make. 

Cloyd should've made that catch.

Need to feed Cloyd the ball. His potential is immense.

They at least tried, he had the ball in his hands, in the end zone on the third down play and couldn't bring it in.

I agree. Odds are the catch would have been difficult as Noah was covered. But he had nearly 10 more yards to the back of the end zone to work with. To give him a chance you have to throw up a jump ball. Noah was a ND mr basketball candidate dunking the ball many times with a 38” vertical and 6’4” with long arms. One of his final high school basketball games against Dickinson he had 18 rebounds against 7’ Jordan Meidinger now with NDSU. They are not using his skills right. And he has proven he has good hands. He didn’t even have a chance at that ball.

With the loss they're going to have to you and see maybe Bubba will finally get smart and get a new offense of coordinator far as that goes a whole new coaching staff that sucks when they played Idaho who passes and then tried to run 3rd and 10 smart play calling

Seems to be a theme for Bubba Ball.

Watching the video and I think I figured out why our kicking game is always slightly off...

still doesn't explain why a 43 yard field goal is 15 yards short?

Unless I am missing something, what does someone’s first plane ride have to do with a college football program. Sounds like a tradition to film the tea Tim s but, seriously, I was expecting some deapth. Maybe I don’t check out enough social media to get the focus of this.... but then I am old.

They seem to start each episode with something a bit more personal to get to know the team. I like it. Reminds me of how young the freshman are and that the experience goes beyond the field.

My first flight was my freshman year at UND. I remember coaches visiting/laughing about it at the airport. Thankfully this was long before social media    . 

Love hearing the personal stories about the team!
