UND-FB-FAN Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Big game against USD: will be tough but UND needs the win. Go 1-0 this week. I’ll be there cheering on the UND Hawks. Gotta come out ready to play after tough close loss to bizons. I agree that this game will showcase either UND’s great leadership or lack thereof. I hope it’s the former. 2 Quote
UND1983 Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 Indiana State is this year's dog. Of course we dont get them Quote

The path to 8-3 and the playoffs leads through USD (and after that every game one at a time). There are no Morningside Colleges in the MVFC. A loss in Vermilion would be a larger set back as they are not ranked in the top 25, in the FCS STATS Top 25 Poll. If we're hanging around the hole when the selection committee is pulling rabbits out of the hat, a slip to the Yotes here be not good. 1 Quote

Missouri State even though they’ve had some good years is more of who I think of as the easier game a lot of years. They just took SIU to overtime this weekend... I don't really see any gimmes on the schedule from here on out for UND...time to sack up and take care of business one week at a time! 2 Quote
forksandspoons Posted October 4, 2021 Posted October 4, 2021 South Dakota is a good team. Hawks need to step it up this week Quote

Cuz the sports casters that make the poll in STATS TOP 25 think the Yotes need to show us some more before they move them up. Massey doesn't have the legs when it comes to the selection committee.

AJS Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 15/13 in the Polls. As of now, they are still in ok position. Need to win this one. I'm excited, I don't really know what to expect. How are injuries on the defensive side of the ball? Can they carry over that performance against NDSU? This defense is capable of keeping them in the rest of the games almost single-handily. Offense is a work in progress. What gives me hope is I don't think they are playing very close to their ceiling right now. Quote

I keep coming back to this idea that if you run Weah on first down, Smith on second down, how much would there be left to pick up on third down? I think this strategy will only get more effective as the O-line gels later into the season. 3 Quote
Popular Post jdub27 Posted October 5, 2021 Popular Post Posted October 5, 2021 Interesting nugget from Tom Miller: And if you don't think Bubba wants to beat the head coach from USD, not sure what to tell you. The staff won't be overlooking this game or allow a hangover after last week. 5 Quote

Mama Sue Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 That 4th down will have a life of its own…just like the obscene JuiceU photo, IMHO. Quote

I think we need to mix it up like we did on those first few drives against Utah State. Quote
Nodak78 Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 Turnovers. yotes +5. Hawks -1 Let's even this out in one game. 1 Quote

AJS Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 Just listened to Bubba's press conference. Navratil / Burian appear to be the two out of the NDSU game that are potentially more than bumps and bruises, but they don't know the time tables yet. Quote

I'm definitely going to have the spot light on the OLB group. 3 of the 8 "5th year" guys were OLB's. We're going to get a lot more playing time for the next round of guys than was anticipated at the beginning of the year. Quote
homer Posted October 5, 2021 Posted October 5, 2021 My one take away from last year vs the Yotes was they had a real physical RB that was really talented. We need to bottle him up again. Legit talent. Quote
