If a QB doesn’t “have a very short memory” he will struggle. 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.

Bubba always preaches live for another play and don’t make a mistake

too much gadget bs plays with these coaches

couple years ago before the dementia kicked in bubba punted down 3 scores with about 6 minutes left in a playoff game against a team that had 250 yards rushing at that point but a couple years later at your own 20with the lead you go for it on 4th down....wtf

We lost a college football game to a team that attempted 10 passes…something doesn’t feel right about that. And he only completed 4 of them 

Three of them were to number 87.

I don't want the guy I saw yesterday any where near the head coaching job.  He is becoming more Bubba like day by day.  

starting to wonder if the one and only problem is bubba..........

Sums up Bubba in a nutshell.

Don’t know that I count that as a gadget, just a formation they hadn’t seen

Gawd NDSU fans are losers on BV.  Go read the post-game thread. Just pathetic embarrassing comments.  So juvenile, they are obsessed with UND, it just took the game being renewed to come out.

That thread is hilarious.

Wat? We looked to the sideline and quick clapped the snap. It was a trick.

Our receiver (Belquist) was 10 yards down field before any Bison moved.

Immediately I looked for the flags for false start.

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.

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.

One more-their muffed punt return where it looked like 3 of our guys could have had it.

Similarly, it reminded me of one of our FBS games, was it against Utah three or four years ago?  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.

I've been told a punt is a good play.

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. 

[SkoHawks]

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.

Maag plays so soft now though. He was best as a fr and soph somehow. 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.

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.

Okay, run three times and punt.

Hell - let's make him work for it and manage all of the 4th downs too.
