For anyone that actually watched the game please tell at what point during the game did you think UND was the better team? Just curious.

It's like some UND fans saying UND hung with NDSU for a half.

At some point you are what you are based on how you perform. 

If I'm way off on this some one please pass me a glass of Kool-Aid.

Does the better team always win?  I saw a game that UND actually had a minor chance to win if Ketteringham doesn't throw yet another interception.

bb starts the ewu game....we win that game going away.

one guy had 6 turnovers and we lost by two scores....imagine how much better our d could be if they had any faith in the o side the ball....3 and outs suck for morale

That false narrative doesn't help

6 turnovers to EWU on the road. Most years they’d hang 70 on us with that stat. They aren’t good this year. It’s a game we should win but didn’t and that’s on the coaches.

The entire second half, even with numbnuts at qb. We’re still short on athletes and dudes and athletic dudes though.

You don’t win when you have 6 turnovers. UND’s offense, specifically the QB position, failed UND on Saturday. 

Need to protect the ball way better.

The 3-4 works with a few 300+ lbers in the middle and Dudes at both D ends.  Also, we used to have size at outside backer. 

Currently, we have a small nose guard and the backup is even smaller, a 220 D End and Bennett with a few backups around 240 lbs.  On top of that, 2 small outside backers.  I don't see how we let things get to this........

Roster Management........needs work. 

I know a guy who coaching at the college level and he stopped at the ND and SD schools this fall so they could put a face with his name for future opportunities.

He wondered why the UND d-line coach was working with the linebackers but then realized they were our d-lineman.

Just saw that. I don't really care, so long as Bubba is finally held accountable when the season is over.

Bubba being Bubba - He will never change.

[UND1983]

whats sad is that he had to announce who the starter will be - meaning there is an issue.

Wow...is that a misprint?

i don’t get it.

[Oxbow6]

Mama Sue.....based on what I've read recently in this thread if Kett only turns it over 3 times playing in perfect conditions at home UND should be golden on Saturday.

[SIOUXFAN97]

hopefully kelly howe calls out bubba on this crap....6 to's!!!!!!!

Against a bad team maybe. I don’t think Davis is a bad team. They’ve proven otherwise.

[TBR]

Last Saturday you could tell who the better team was. It was the team that had scored the most points when the game was over. You could also tell who wanted to play winning football looking at body language. The guys in white sauntered up to the line of scrimmage like they weren't so sure about things, especially in the first half.  The players in red broke from their offensive hurdles and moved up to the line of scrimmage enthusiastically.  Had the body language been the reverse , the guys in white may have been the better team.

[Mama Sue]

Well I don’t get it.....use the best you have.

The intensity we played with in the first half looked like the 2013 Mussman team.

sad, but true. I'll still watch, and I'll still cheer, but it is tough to have high hopes when the program lacks proper leadership.

I actually though Bubba should have been gone before this year. He could have fired Rudy a year earlier, but chose to hold on to a guy that couldn't do the job. At that point he was just as much at fault as Rudy was. Getting rid of Rudy when he did was a year too late as far as I am concerned. 

Now Chaves will be in a similar position. Is he willing to make a change, or let the coaching issue linger longer than it needs to. If you can get the right coach, you can change a program fairly quickly. UND has just had an issue with finding that right coach.

Rudy is gone and we still have the same issues.   It makes me think the problems run higher and deeper than just Rudy.

Well maybe, but I'm not ready to put offensive woes on Freund at this point either. To your point, it goes higher, and I think a lot of that is Bubba and recruiting. O line is still a problem, D line is way to small. QB has never been emphasized.

We recruit the best DII players available.

The Weber coach was hired either the same year as Bubba, or a year before or after I think. Weber was a doormat, I believe they lost their first 8 or so games of their coaches first year, and guess who his first win came against.......Bubba.   Weber has now been a perennial top 5-10 team the past few years, we have one playoff appearance.  Hauck at Montana is in his second year, just rolled Davis at their place.  We'll see how Bubba does against Davis, hardly doubt we win by 25.

He’s as clueless about his job status as he is the overall state  of this program.

This sums it up perfectly.
