Dustin Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 So, how small of a margin of victory will feel like a loss? I'd say that I'm good with any victory that isn't determined in the last few plays of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-FB-FAN Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The score will take care of itself if UND plays to its potential and is a focused football team. What does that mean? Only stat lines I am looking at will be penalties/penalty yards and turnovers. If UND can grow up (compared to previous road record) and play disciplined football (no turnovers, minimal to no penalties), then I will be happy. Of course, UND will also win the game if that happens. If UND is to end up where we want them to go, they need to keep growing and be a disciplined football team on the road. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Hawk Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I watched Bubba's press conference, and one of the factors was playing in front of a limited crowd, and needing to bring the energy. I think especially with a team UND should beat handily, it's important to have that energy from the opening kickoff and not let an inferior opponent hang around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSioux Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Hopefully it will feel like less of a home game for them, they are really limiting attendance I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to play well on the road, these 3 consecutive road games will be a big test for our team. One game at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Had a friend remind me of that time we were 7-4 and rolling at the end of the year, and the committee took 6-5 Western Illinois instead of us..... Winning by 20 plus Saturday would help..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSSD Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 2 hours ago, Dustin said: Yes, someone on this board reminded the members here of that as well. Yes, I remember the game.. Studsrud went down in the 3rd Q during the ISU game when UND was leading 31-15 and ISU come back to win in the 4th. UND lost the next two games without Studsrud but came back for the MSU game and UND finished out the season on a 3 game winning streak. The last game against Poly was supposed to be a play in game because Poly had 7 wins. UND destroyed them on the road. The next morning we find out a 7-4 team with a FBS win lost out to a 6-5 WIU. How, I will never understand.. After that season, I don't like any school with initials ISU and I also want to beat WIU because they have blackmail material on the playoff committee. at Wyoming Cowboys W 24-13 DRAKE W 21-18 at #2 North Dakota State L 9-34 UC DAVIS W 31-24 at #16 Portland State W 19-17 IDAHO STATE L 31-37 at Weber State L 24-25 at #19 Montana L 16-42 #19 MONTANA STATE W 44-38 NORTHERN COLORADO W 45-14 at Cal Poly W 45-21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Forecast still looking like it won't be much of an issue - High near 50 under partly sunny skies. Haven't been able to get a great wind forecast - looks like an east wind (which would be across the field), but I don't think the intensity is known yet. Game plan is to pound the ground, I assume? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
