Correct and if he doesn't fumble UND more than likely wins the game due to his earlier heroics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say a fumble when a team is trying to run out the clock is pretty damn high on the list of things to blame, rather than if we had taken X more secs per play off they clock they would've only had X secs left, etc. They still would've had plenty of time regardless. MSU would've had to use both of their timeouts if Otis doesn't fumble. Instead he fumbles and they have two TO's left and over a minute.

To some of you it’s just “bad luck”. The Bison have just been incredibly lucky the last 10 years too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperdouper Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Altru nixed 10 million to UND from Sanford so I'm sure that won't happen but you never know. Hopefully Altru will become Sanford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. ^^^^^^^ See the problem? If you don't chart it and track it you don't know. Does Otis tend to fumble later in games, or early? Does he just need the reminder to go down rather than fight and spin depending on game situation? Quality control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Any good engineer, accountant, finance guy, or QC/QA person will tell you ... if you don't chart it and track it you don't know, and you can't manage it. I guarantee you they know Tommy's passing efficiency in each of the "six zones". (left middle right, short and long) Or do they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I for one look forward to more timeouts before a play is run coming out of halftime, punting inside our opponents 40 on 4th and 1 or 2 to gain at best 19 yards of field position, more 2 yard swing passes on 3rd and 8 and going for it on 4th down deep in our own territory with a lead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4th down fumble botched handoff, bad pitch...not sure which and it didn't seem like Otis and Bo knew what it was supposed to be either was going to be a change of possession anyway as the terrible play call took us 8 yards behind the line of scrimmage on 4th and short. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was another play but yes that play call would've been pretty cool if it worked. But it didn't so can easily be second guessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it didn't so can easily be second guessed. It was dumb. It was 4th and 2 at the MSU 29 and we ran a play where the ball had to be touched by 4 players. I would love to see how many times it was run in practice and how many of those times it was run seamlessly and how many times it was not. Que up Sicatoka's Quality control coach. Based on what i saw on the replay it didn't even look as though Otis and Belquist were entirely sure if there portion was supposed to be a handoff or a pitch.
