Great defensive game plan from Bubba and Schmidt.

With the kids we have hurt to pull that game off with the offense pulling a Rudolph type performance.  

Credit to Cloyd on the blocked punt.  A buddy of mine broke his wrist blocking one of those.  

Sure wasn’t Rudolph performance to me. UND would’ve been shut out with Rudolph. Did you see UND’s offensive TD? Not a Rudolph play for sure. 

But the offense needs to be more consistent. Too many mistakes to maintain drives. Fumble in first half by Gee didn’t help either. Running game is still absent putting a lot of pressure on misdirection and smoke & mirrors.

Kostich for president.  Punt pinned them at the 1 and blocked punt for the win.

We've been hard on him on this site when special teams have problems.  Giving credit where credit is due.

Never would have thought the two phases that would play the best would be defense and special teams. 

Offense made timely plays too, but need to be more consistent. 

Really a great all around team win.

Good job, guys. Go UND!

If you told me the special teams would have more TDs than Kett I would say we lose the game by 20.  Special teams with due praise.

I still can't help but think, having just watched this game and thinking back to earlier in the year, what would this offense be like with either Schuster or Zimm playing QB? Coaches seem to like Kett but the offense has no down-field threat with him play QB, there's no real threat of a QB run, and no progression of a passing attack other than the quick hit/first read.

That’s also a function of the receivers. UND has no deep ball threat on the perimeter. 

This offense could be much more explosive with better quarterbacks AND receiver play. The short to intermiediate routes are run really well by UND’s guys, though (Wanzek, Toivonen, Maag).

Wow!!! Great win good guys!!

D came up big time. It felt that they wanted to prove themselves and they did. They bailed the O numerous times. 
 

offense needs to get on the same page. Heard from announcers too many time that miscommunication occurred on some plays. Those can be drive killers. But, they did enough to get the W. 
 

ok, still just not a kett fan. His mechanics are slow and clunky. Just terrible to watch. Lastly, I don’t like his attitude. Yes, I understand emotions, but he was barking at his teammates too much and it appeared negatively. Can’t wait till he graduates and we get someone else at QB. 
 

I’ll take the win but we left points on the field offensively. Gotta clean that up. Good win UND FOOTBALL!!!

I agree, but we're also looking at first and 10 from the 25 if that PI gets rightfully called. Instead, it's 3rd and 10 from the 40.

The offense went a bit too deep into the flea flicker well but those are fun to watch.

It's hard to dink and dunk all day.....and have to have 10 play drives to score TD's.   We definitely lack a deep passing game.  Seems like at least once a game we need to do a pump fake on a short route to get the guy to bite....since we mostly run short routes.....and send him up field and try and hit him deep.  

[Cratter]

This team seems to have pretty good "luck" lately.

[Cratter]

Did I miss it or what was with the lack of boltman qb draws.

[Cratter]

Not many weapons this year but the coaches are finding ways to win with the players they have.

[ChrisUND1]

Huge win.  Amazing atmosphere in the 4th.  The fans that were there made a huge difference.  Electric on that blocked punt!!!

Fully agreed that winning consistently with dink/dunk is really difficult. We don't need someone that's going to be breaking 50-60 yard type plays but someone to at least run a route beyond 20 yards would help. The stop and go would work well. Disguise an outside block and then slip the receiver upfield. Run a deep drag on a rollout. Something beyond the dink/dunk we've been doing. I recall earlier in the season when Kett went out and suddenly Zimm starts taking shots downfield and receivers were making plays at or beyond that 20 yard mark. I can't help but think part of it is a product of Kett's inability to be accurate at that distance or willing to take that chance downfield in his read.

We must have the record for having beaten the most teams in top 25 and not being in top 25.

[ChrisUND1]

Remember.  That is a very good team UND just beat, #9 in country.

5-3.

@ Weber 

UNC

Southern Utah

I think 7-4 happens, but we've been screwed in that position before.

Get healthy, beat Weber, finish 8-3 got good measure.

Cow Pie is down by 3 going into halftime. They might be getting a little worried

They didn’t play Montana

that was the worst __________ team in X years.

I know the offense didn’t score a ton of points today but, make no mistake, we lose this game by a lot with Rudy calling plays. Freund has been a shot in the arm to this team in most games. When he is feeling we shred people.

[Ozzie82]

Congratulations to the lucky D2 team that beat a top 10 D1 team! We should be proud of these plucky D2 players!

Did bubba just punch his ticket to renewal or are we still shuffling him out asap?

3 games to go. 2 of which should be definite wins.

Dom Izzo has no clue what objectivity is. He’s getting into it with the 360 guys on Twitter about und vs Montana states resumes. He says what he’s saying are “facts”, but actually just state what he thinks the pollsters think? UND has beaten three ranked opponents and I don’t believe the bobcats have beat any.
