Could be a bit of both. The latter is 100% true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their line struggled against Albany and today. They just "looked" good against 2 dogsh!@ teams in Valpo and Towson. Their day of reckoning will come in a few weeks when they travel to Brookings.

shep Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 IMO it wasn't Danny's play calling that cost us but the personnel for whom he was calling the plays. Again, the lack of a WR to stretch the field meant that we are going to have lots of 5-7 yard pass plays. As part of that, the lack of an OLine that can keep a QB on his feet for more than 3 seconds also impacts the play calling. We are still a class away from those types of players but... if this is a great Bison team we at least showed we can play with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxfan512 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Just finished watching the game on delay. initial thought, the team played well, bubba cost us the game with the dumbest call ever on 4th and 1 on our own 20 with the damn lead. That was stupid, plain and simple. Inexcusable call! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post geaux_sioux Posted October 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2021 Going for it on 4th down I side the 20, dumb. Reverse on 4th down, dumb. Tommy int in the red zone, dumb. Those are the three plays that really stood out and cost the game. This ain’t that same NDSU greatness. We can beat them but we have to clean it up and make sound decisions. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bincitysioux Posted October 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2021 I didn't like going for it in 4th down from our own 20 yard line, but if they would have converted everyone would be saying Bubba and/or Danny are geniuses with gargantuan testicles. Defense was so impressive today, really fun to watch. Holinka had his guys dialed in nicely. 1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why you punt on the 20 with a 1 point lead. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Just not a lot of weapons on O and an average OL. Otis didn't create much today but he didn't have a lot of room - seems like he would do well in space sometimes instead of always going between the tackles. Maag and Boltman with, what, 1 touch each? Build the passing around the young WR if those two aren't healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND Football Fan Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 4th down call, instead of offense, I would have preferred fake punt because of the element of surprise. We did have the gutsy fake last year against SDSU I believe and that got the team going last Spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost like we were waiting and asking, “hey, you guys ready if we run up the middle? You sure? Here we come! “ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnt Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 On the positive side, Bubba has become more aggressive. Now he just has to pick his spots better. I would like to see them aggressive on key spots that can turn the game. Rather than a short pass over the middle that let time expire before half, how about going a little deeper and hope for pass interference. The wisdom of trying on fourth down when a worse Drake team stuffed you twice on the same play, would lead one to think another play would have been coming. Even if you make that first down, do you keep being aggressive to make it truly pay off in a momentum switch? Hard to know. It seemed if we were aggressive on a trick play on first down that left us behind the chains, we would be conservative on second down and got stuffed. We have already shown that we still throw short of the chains on 3rd and 6 or 7, just like we would on 3rd and 10, so why not have two passes to make that yardage. Next step is not having to rely so heavily on trick plays to move the ball against good teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they should have shut him down for a good two weeks or so to try and help him recover. I have a feeling his hammy will be bothering him all year. Probably a part of why he hasn't done as much lately. Even now, seems like would be better to shut him down for a while so he can get back to 100%. Maybe shutting him down for 2 weeks or so to try and heal up wouldn't matter though, I dunno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
