UC Davis Predictions

THEM: 38-US 21

[UND-FB-FAN]

I think it’s hilarious how so many think yanking Ketteringham from the game will instantly better UND’s team.

You know, everyone’s favorite player is the backup quarterback. Classic thinking. 

UND needs to just execute much better, whether that be Ketteringham, Schuster, Boltmann or anyone else. You can’t win if you have 6 turnovers. The offense - particularly Ketteringham - should be embarrassed by that and should look to come out and play well vs UC Davis. 

Long-term, I believe UND needs better talent. That doesn’t help in the interim. UND needs to play better and execute as a team.

I like Kett, but what's starting to grow on me are as follows....he panics too fast in the pocket and normally just backs up instead of throwing it away or scrambling, he can't seem to avoid sacks, his throwing motion is pretty long, he doesn't seem to take shots down field enough.  Obviously it's possible not all of this is his fault, maybe our OL should do better, maybe our WR aren't separating enough, maybe the coaches have some blame. Just starting to feel like our offense was clicking better with Zim/Schuster.... Zim took more shots, Schuster more mobile.  Just look at the sacks allowed per game by QB.  Whatever it takes, let's just find a way to string some wins together.

Unfortunately ....Davis 42 Und 20

No idea what will happen in this one.  I want UND to come out with fire from the start.

I will take UND over a beat up physically and mentally UCD team, 28-17

Great, more third string guys we can make look like All Americans.

That would be huge, one of those WRs ate up NDSU.

Kett is named the starter, that part is OK, only if it's the plan to have them prepare for him as the starter. 
Kett just isn't playing good enough, should be replaced sometime during the game.

If he gets sacked 5 times again today, when Zimmerman and Schuster are getting sacked about once a game, then it’s on Kett. He has to show something today. He has to come out and play like it might be the last game he ever starts or plays in, because it might be.

Line up to UCD -3.5. Was at -1.5 last night.

[Kab]

Let’s just win the damn thing

 

[SWSiouxMN]

UND 27

UC Davis 23

The plan stays intact for another week 

[Cratter]

This game is as winnable as the Sam Houston State game.

If the 3rd string freshman QB can win that game in his first ever collegiate game...

[Cratter]

Last time we saw Kett at home he wad struggling to score points against Drake...

Yep, he has been the least effective QB in Freund's offense so far. Hopefully "practice" Kett shows up today.

[UND Football Fan]

Kett needs to step it up or be back-up and let the youngster be QB. Run some 2 TE sets have some lanes for James to run.  The last few years conference favorites have had sub par years. I am hoping this trend continues. UND 34 UC Davis 28.
