I was wondering if they would refocus after the beatdown they put on SIU, well they regrouped just fine for a huge challenge. Just have to do it again. I know the team is not looking ahead, but as a fan, I really hope we can keep it going then deliver a total beat down in the Fargo dome. It would just be icing on the cake, and talk about re-igniting a rivalry before we head into the fall and get to host them for the first time since 2003 (my freshman season at UND). I remember being at the game and it was a blast! Expand This team is different. 1 Quote
Wilbur Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 So are we strictly a black uniform operation at home now, or do we still have the white pants with green top look? IMHO we break out the black pants on the road like the old NCC days when we play at Western Illinois. Quote

Dustin Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Don't know much about the 'Yotes - in what ways can they beat us? O/D lines? Mobile quarterback? Rushing attack? Run defense? Quote

Rushing attack? Run defense? Expand I took a look at their game on Sunday. Not great at rushing the football, their leading rusher had 35 yards on 16 carries. They have a very good pass block and try to move the ball down the field. Small receivers, but they are quick and find openings in zone coverage. Their QB is shifty and accurate, will scramble but is more than willing to hang in the pocket, so rush lanes have to be sound. There are big play opportunities against their defense, and their secondary bites a on a lot of runs and pump fakes, so play action and double moves are open. ISU gashed their defense on the ground too, 186 total rushing yards, but fumbled three times (yeesh). USD DL had five sacks. Interesting to note, Illinois State also blocked a USD field goal. edit: update on number of fumbles Quote

Dustin Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Overall, it sounds like the match-up favors UND in most areas. Would be nice to put a drubbing on, so we can spread out the workload on a short week. 1 Quote

How many of those fumbles resulted in a turnover? Expand I thought I read that there were like 7 total turnovers by ISU, but I could be wrong. Going to be a tough game on Thursday though, and we need to be ready. They have the pain of doing a lot of travel on a short week, but I bet they will come out amped up. UND needs to get a faster start, and then grind them down. If we control the game at half time, I expect to see something more similar to the second half of the SIU game; not necessarily that we run away with the score, but that their defense starts to wear down and get tired from the short week. I hope I am right! I would also point out that I was getting pretty frustrated with Schuster and the secondary early in the SDSU game. Schuster was missing throws, and the secondary must have still been in the locker room. Both bounced back nicely and got better and better as the game went on. Schuster had some really nice passes and smart decisions. Not a flashy QB, but pretty darn effective, and still young; though I would like to see Quincy get mixed in a bit more and pass, it will only help with his run game. Secondary also stepped up big time in the second half to limit the pass game. I was extremely impressed with Gronowski and the Janke brother. Quote
