I disagree.  Every time Kett feels ANY pressure he ducks and falls to the ground.  Did you see something different?  How many sacks would we of had if Kett was NAU's QB today?

We wouldn’t have any. Their QB didn’t feel that much pressure. And my opinion on Kett is season long, not as of 1 or 2 games. I agree he went down quick today, but I don’t think he had time or receivers. Not sure what people want him to do in that position.

Not saying Ketteringham is perfect, but a lot of blame going on the guy who has no time to throw and 1 receiver worth throwing to.

When at the game in person and watching Kett, most plays he only looks at one guy the WHOLE play.

[UNDBIZ]

You could see right away that Kett just didn't have it today. It happens. Similar to a good goalie just not feeling it, he needed to be pulled early on. His body language was terrible and you could tell he didn't really want to be on the field. He slowly got up after each hit, hobbled a bit like he might pull himself out injured, and then when the coaches took no notice he trudged back to the huddle.

The fact he was left in is hard to understand. Bubba too nice to overrule Rudy and Rudy too far from the field to see what's in front of him?

I think we could have played jr. high sand lot football where you call the play in the huddle and would do way better than Rudy calling plays

did Rudy move from GF from Minot yet

We can agree to disagree.  Last 3 games he has been bad and the trend line has been trending down.

When was the last game the offense was decent?  

This team put up 40 point* for three straight games this year.

Now they can't beat a crap NAU. Something smells fishy.

[forksandspoons]

What was Ketts completion percentage for the season? 

[Kab]

Who knows

kett might leave too

I would put the Idaho game in the average category, the last two weeks have been unwatchable. The main difference is as bad as they were the last two games, the offense didn't actually lose the game against PSU like they did against NAU. I would have taken any offense in the country today over ours.

There is a good chunk of this fanbase that will look at this result and the last two years and go *Gee, we cut WIH two years ago and the FB program is performing about the same as it was when we had the sport.. why the hell did it cut again?  

There are people who think that WIH was cut for FB, and those fans will come out the woodwork and rip on UND for the cut. 

This is why a shakeup is needed.  You can't keep going 6-5

K. I was kind of kiddding... but sort of the same thing could happen... the womens hockey team couldn't even get to the playoffs cuz the league was so tough... if we don't up our game (i.e. coaches) we could get crushed every weekend.  We're either serious or we're not....

I agree, there was a time but the last 3 games it has been BAAAAAD.

He could try doing what the PSU and NAU QBs did. A good QB moves around to create time and space. Kett backpedals and throws picks off his heels.

Because he sucks and has no awareness of anything. How many delay of games at important junctures did we have?

But women's hockey sort of isn't a real sport. So not really comparable.

I seriously don’t know if Izzy and Toivenon were that important to this offense but the slump started when they went out.  

Offense struggled as a whole today.

I think his wife is a principal there so we might as well let him move home

Our guys need to wake the !@#$ up. The announcers can even tell that they’re flat. How the hell can you be flat with what’s at stake? That’s on Bubba.

The players have zero confidence in the Bubba and the coaching staff.  They know they are being out coached every week.  Bad personell decisions, inability to adapt, combined with an antiquated offensive scheme.

I saw that in the body language of the team today.  not sure how Bubba recovers from this.

But that will continue next year as injuries caused UND to suck last year too.

Can't wait for an anomaly year of having every key player healthy all season to finally be good.

Although i don't necessarily disagree, I'll take the opinion of the family of a player still upset over the fall camp 2 deep with a grain of salt here.

Talked to a father of a player last week and he indicated that to me

didnt know who he was, we just started talking and that came up in the conversation

You are probably correct, it did look like the effort dropped for UND as the game wore on and the frustration level was rising.  The last couple of offensive and defensive series it looked like they quit to me.
