Yes

That was a bumpkiss call on the hit in the endzone, there was still a chance to knock that ball out IMO. The roughing the passer I didn't see.

Another personal foul on UND.

I think we had 1 completed pass in second half.  

[SiouxDini]

Who cares.  We ran at will.

[Longtime fan]

Nice win.  The first game unc was throttled in its 0-5 season.

Just a friendly reminder that FCS is full of glorified Cushman Fields.

Nice win, too bad they couldn’t do that last week, maybe it was a wake up call and we can play like this for the rest of the year. Go Hawks!!

Second Half Summary:

UND scores 14 points in 2nd half; Northern Colorado scores 6 points. UND won the second half, but as has been the trend this season, the second half was far uglier than the first half. 

 

Positives:

- Defense did their job to start 3rd quarter. They continually got stops. Good job with second half adjustments and coming out ready to play.

- Runningbacks Oliviera and James Johannesson both ran hard and with good vision in the second half. Nice job by those two running the ball. 

- Nice to see receiver Cam McKinney get involved some in the running game with jet sweeps; he has the speed to make it work well and compliment the inside the running game.

- Defense applied good pressure throughout second half. Nice to see interception from safety Jordan Canady. 

- Only one completion in the second half but it was a nice throw by Ketteringham and nice catch by Toivonen on third down to keep drive alive.

- Very nice punt and punt coverage in 4th quarter to down ball inside the 10 yard line to back up UNC (ball downed at 8 yard line).

- Nice to see good effort from true freshman runningback Otis Weah; he scored a touchdown on a nice physical run today. 

 

Negatives:

- PENALTIES ALL GAME! In second half, false start on OL Nathan Nguon on second and short is not acceptable. 

- I don't like the toss play on third and short; use James Johannesson downhill, not out wide with toss. 

- Poor throw by Ketteringham on quick out route on 3rd and 1; also interception that was batted by defensive lineman was poor. Can't have turnovers when trying to put the other team away! Same thing happened last week against Idaho State. This UND team needs to develop better killer instinct.

- Defense did not play well following the second half UND turnover (interception). The defense has been particularly susceptible on the ground following turnovers. UND needs to not turn ball over but defense also needs to be ready to go and be more stout against inside running game. 

- Scoreless 3rd quarter was not ideal.

- Poor defensive effort by UND with backups in during final UNC drive; they gave up a TD to UNC. Nice to see UND 2nd stringers stop the 2 point conversion though.

First UND football game for me since they went to Laramie and beat the Pokes. Had a good time, great crowd, the band came as did the new mascot. 

[Mama Sue]

A win is a win.... stuff to work on in practice and with a bye maybe everyone will be VERY hungry for Grizz in 2 weeks!!!!

[siouxfan512]

Beat the Grizz and I will start getting excited about this squad again. Great job today, but does not make up for just how deflating last week was for the program and season.

I echo this.

[Cratter]

Another win over Montana in two weeks at home will pump up the enthusiasm and some more playoff optimism.

It's a key game down the stretch.
