Schuster won’t win games for us but he hadn’t been losing games. The 4th down call was long past and we are moving the ball deep in their territory. Everything in the minds of players needs to be do their assignment and get the first down. No excuses. Agreed. Tommy thought he could ad lib if the receiver would have been on the same page. Unfortunately he didn’t see the safety. I just can’t put that kind of mistake on the same level as the brain fart of going for it on 4th down.

Honestly I have to admit....watching it on TV....I saw that guy open...and for a split second I said to myself...."dump it do that guy".....but he air mailed it a little high and yeah the safety was right behind him. When I watched it again he didn't look very open but when the play happened in real time I thought for a second he could dump it to that guy. However when they went into the fake punt mode......I'm like No No No....don't snap it. I'm quite sure NDSU saw the tape of the JMU game where we did this exact same thing, we weren't fooling anyone on that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 In a close game against a good team, it can often come down to a couple plays. In our case, it was 3 plays. The two fourth down plays we didn’t convert and the pick. Unfortunate none of those plays went our way. That being said, even after all those plays, we still had a chance to force them to punt and get the ball back and go kick a game winning FG. Those plays will stick out, but they overshadow how good this team played in Saturday. Especially defensively. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were down a couple scores in the fourth quarter, but Bubba just kept punting like it was going out of style. In a game like that, nothing to lose as the FCS underdog, but nope, we better keep punting and play the field position game until we run out of time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxphan27 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 7 hours ago, Irish said: I admit to being frustrated with Bubba - and I think our horrible 4th down play affected the outcome - not only a poor idea but very poorly executed - we gave the Bison time to stack the line and then went ahead. We could have called time out when we saw how it developed. Yes, Bubba deserves the criticism. In looking at his body of work on 4th downs, it's almost he thinks what the logical thing to do is and then does the opposite. Coaches need to put the team in a position to win. The offense was not sharp and a lot had to do with poor discipline - we were offsides on our first play. This is part on the players but also part on the coaches. We had a golden opportunity to shut up the Bison and didn't cash in. your post about the opposite reminded me of George. maybe Bubba needs to watch this clip the night before games, and remember it on fourth down situations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkoHawks Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 This team still has a lot of potential. It's only one game, and there were multiple factors in the loss, but I just keep asking myself can Bubba win the big game? And my head says no. I'd love to be proven wrong.

He’s just not a dude. And same goes for Quincy Vaughn. HE IS NOT A POWER RUNNER FOR FUCKS SAKE! Stop pretending he’s anything but a pocket passer. He has no power when he runs. He stops the second he meets resistance. If they wanted to get those two yards against a good DL they should’ve given it to Otis. He can at least break a damn tackle. We don't have a #1 Wr on the team. I thought we did but Maag has some serious issues. Physically, 4 years in college FB and he hasn't figured out how to stay healthy. Mentally, softer than a Puddy tat. QV2. I think staffs across the country are scared sh_tless of the transfer portal and players needing instant gratification. As brilliantly articulated above, QV2 can't power thru an arm tackle and has never moved a pile. I understand what the staff wants him to be, but that's not the type of player he is. I feel Danny's many dilemmas facing NDSU's D. If we had a #1 WR we probably could have taken a few chances on 1 V 1 match ups. Or, if the O-line could provide another second of protection plays could have developed. The SU D was long, athletic, and disciplined. That's a tough game to call with UNDs personnel. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shep Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Watching the Sunday night game reminds me of yesterday with the Pats taking the UND role. NO running game, limited pass protection so every play is a 5-7 yard pass and they are winning the 3rd 7-6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
