We KNOW they didn't practice that play(its an option play, tommy decides based on what he sees to hand off or throw it) enough with #84 in the middle of the trips set and a DB in tight coverage over the top of him.  They had run same play near goal line on second drive and Tommy handed it to smith.

You think they only have one play out of that format?

I can't imagine having that much disdain for people (the coaching staff) that you'd go to those lengths to pin any and all mistakes on them with no hesitation.

Only if you don’t want it to be…..

7-4 gets this team in.  We may not like where we get placed but at 7-4 you don’t get much say.

Watch the same play on the second drive.  Same arm signal by the #2 in the trips.  They are signaling each other.

Tommy wasn't even looking at him.  That arm signal means he is off the line. It has nothing to do with blocking 

yes normally that arm thing means he's asking if  he's off the line but he's so far off the line he wouldn't have to do that but maybe he's so used to doing that...maybe it's a blocking signal who knows....maybe the heraldo could break that play down with a little interview with danny and see what the hell happened?

If you think #2 wr is signaling Tommy about blocking then you are helpless.

The bullet went up and to the left

number 5 did turn and say something to the safety at the 41 before the snap....

so  84 decided not to block the guy literally right in front of him bc ...............why? wr got confused, bad coaching, brain fart?

And we were very quickly informed that having 4 FCS losses was more important than 6 wins and 1 FBS win (quality loss argument).

and then this year "they" will say  the opposite....7 doesn't guarantee us anything...if our wins are against a bunch of losers.

If a Missouri Valley team doesn't get in at 7-4, it's more of an indictment on the conference than the team itself.

I’m gonna go with young guy big game brain fart. 
 

He probably said, “watch the screen, I hope this dipshit tries to block you and I take this to the house.”, probably.

assuming so but maybe he was told that that db is "normally" farther back so next time we run this play leave that guy be and block down so it's one on one with our bigger WR and a smallish corner with our WR at full speed?  who knows...maybe kelly could reach out to danny or the heraldo could ask....

Take the three major fingers on your right hand and put them on the left side of your throat beside the esophagus. 

Do you feel a rhythmic throb right there? 

That WR has the same thing.

Pro Tip: As long as that throb is there, the person with it will make mistakes. When the throb is gone, no more mistakes, but slightly larger problems.

Again, if that’s what you want them to be and hoping for……

Youngstown, UNI and ACU would all be better wins than most 7-4 teams could bring to the table assuming our 3 wins to get there are the next 3 games.  
 

Win the last one (which I believe we can) and it’s a no brainer.  
 

7-4 puts UND in for sure despite what some would like to see happen.

At risk of repeating myself ...

Hypothetically, ... 

Say we get to "week last" and SDSU and SIU are each sitting at 0 or 1 loss. They're in. 

Say UND is 7-3 (losses to Neb, SIU, SDSU) and NDSU is 7-3 (losses to Ari, SDSU, SIU). 

When UND wins :) and is 8-3, and NDSU is 7-4, will those same folks be chirping the same "only get 3 teams" noise? 

 

Summary: Those folks are running an agenda. Here's hoping it backfires badly upon them.

7-4 UND gets in.  6-5, we are out.  Getting to 7-4 is the trick.  How many times since 2016 have we won 3 games in a row?  I know we won the first 4 in the Spring season.  I will have to go back and look.  Abilene will be a test.  Indiana State on the road will be a test and USD at home will be a test, NDSU on the road is a huge test.

Even though I started wondering if we would be in at 7-4, I think we are in.  That year we didn't get in....I believe was the year we had the crappy loss to a 1-2 win Idaho State team at home.  We have zero bad losses this year and will have beaten everyone we should have.  Also, us pounding Missouri State may have set in the for them the beginning of their demise.

When we had 7 wins and left out, it was said the Idaho State home loss that was the excuse. We beat play-off , first round by Portland on the road, blown out by playoff Montana, loss to SU and 1 point loss at Weber.
