How was the tailgating to start the year?

Very good, most of the regulars and lots of walk ups.

Weah being out definitely affected those fumbles in the red zone. On every one of those, the preferred call would have been handing it to Weah. And he hangs on the the ball well. If Otis plays, we win 59-0….at least. 

Idk if that’s a good excuse. Otis has had his own issues. It’s just something we shouldn’t have seen with or without Otis.

On the bright side, #11 Coley looked very good all day, plays fast.

The down side is Maag. He is either hurt or he has lost a step. I thought we would be unstoppable by now but I was wrong, he hasn't brought much to the table....

Broadcast said Maag is nursing multiple injuries

Surprised he played today. May as well get him healed and rested for October 2.

Thank you.  Band said they’d take care of it for us but must have forgot

Not gonna lie it was kinda the highlight of my day.  If it happened to appear in my section near me I’d switch it.  Granted the opposing players wouldn’t see it then 

[Cratter]

No gamechanging athletes on this team.

Only thing that might keep the NDSU game close is hopefully home field advantage.

[Cratter]

Schuster didnt look as sharp today.

Maag has been nursing a hamstring, hard to be explosive which trying to nurse that kind of injury

Wasn’t perfect. Honestly the only play that concerned me was the int. He made some good throws today

Defense has been a bright spot. Drake is 0-13 on 3rd down today.

Drake was on the UND side of the field twice…….. one time was during garbage time

defense looks good but we are thin at many positions right now so that concerns me

[Big Green]

Nice turn out by the students.  Bad turnout by ticket holders that are now where the students used to be. 

[Big Green]

One thing that needs to change is we as fans need to be loud on every down the defense is on the field.  Can’t wait til 3rd down to be loud.  This needs to starts in 2 weeks.  Make it tough on the opponent to hear.

I agree I thought crowd noise sucked ass

Say it louder for the people in back! For real though. The crowd was very out of it.  In the yard I’ve been coming to games it r ally depends on the team.  Like I feel like the bigger games we are loud every down.

Coley's INT and run was the most athletic play I saw all day.

Someone suggested we are thin at spots on D. Where? Lots of very good LB's and Corners/Safeties. DLine thin??

Mainly outside LB And safety, D line is thin on big dudes

We are fine at LB. Safety is a concern even with the starters. I think DL is good at nose now. 3 deep there with 290lb guys.

[UND-FB-FAN]

Idaho State and Drake are inferior teams; thus, two wins for UND. But UND has been very sloppy the past 6 quarters. 
 

Bubba and his coaching staff have a lot of work to do to instill discipline over the next two weeks before the big one on Oct. 2nd. If not corrected, this conference season may not go as expected. 

[AJS]

This game had about 100% disapproval rating. Was this almost all based on turnovers? Clearly an issue this game, but also seems like an easily correctable issue, especially who was at fault for them.  Comparative scores, but the Hawks won by as many points as Montana State the week prior, that’s with giving away those points due to turnovers.

Doesn’t seem as bad to me as most are making it sound.

A lot of empty seats spread out in the mid-section of both sides of the field.

Most bothersome aspect of the game was how we consistently tried getting cute in the red zone. We should have been able to smash our way forward for a TD.

[Dustin]

The Vaughan fumbles bother me. The Maag fumble bothers me only because Maag shouldn’t have played this game, getting him healed up for October 2. The Schuster interception doesn’t bother me. Someone remind me what 5th turnover was?  I think if we had just 1 turnover and had not left so many points on the field, fans would have said, “ok, they did the job we expected them to, now let’s beat the Bison.”

5th was fumble off the shot gun snap between Fenton / Feeney.
