108498 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Obviously we all would love to beat Nebraska, but what would be an ok lose heading into week two? I am afraid they get blown out and injuries pile up week one. It can be hard to stay focused after a blow out loss. I am hoping they stay within 21 of Nebraska. Others have lost by 70 to Nebraska.

I'd like for it to feel like it's still a game.....midway or at the end of the 3rd quarter, as in down by no more than 14, and have their fans feeling frustrated.

No, it would not be destroyed, but it would be hurt. The main game will be the FCS opener vs UNI @ Alerus Center on 9/10/22. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we lose to UNI, we'd have to beat Southern Illinois on the road to remain on track for being at least 3-2 after the first 5 games.

Yep, one would sort of be expected, a loss to UNI at home would put Bubba in a really tough spot to start the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destroyed, no, but "surprisingly large loss" I think would deflate it a little. For me, look at Utah State last year. That didn't help build momentum, that's for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t found a schedule anywhere but messaged Tom Miller and he said they’re on this week M-Th, off Friday, back Saturday. 8:45-10:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If UNI turns out to be overrated, like they are most years, then this likely scenario isn’t as great as it sounds. But, as mentioned, it is most likely.

For me, look at Utah State last year. That didn't help build momentum, that's for sure. The Utah State second half collapse - given it was technically a loss to FBS - was quickly overlooked last season given the big upcoming game vs NDSU. In retrospect, it turned out that the 2021 UND team lacked “killer instinct” the entire season. Blown leads/late opportunities against Utah St., NDSU, SIU, Missouri State, South Dakota St., etc. would end up being the norm and haunting UND the entire 2021 season. Turned out the Utah State game was telling for the entire season; the whole FBS/FCS thing got overblown. The point here is simple. If UND loses at Nebraska, they can still have a successful season, but getting “destroyed” at Nebraska should not be overlooked as UND just being outmatched. Rather, it would be concerning for UND not being ready to be a competitive winning team in 2022. Need to at least keep the Nebraska game competitive for 3+ quarters or there will be some concern. The UNI game is important, but the whole season isn’t wrapped into the first two games; remember 2016 season? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO lots of "close but no cigar" moments since then. Hopefully that changes this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 So is our 5 star punter/4 star kicker Silvernale going to be the guy this year? Or do we see Stevens holding the duties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post siouxfan512 Posted August 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2022 I've been reading all of Tom Miller's practice summaries, along with the UNDFootball360 position group reviews and they are definitely getting me excited for the season. I've never though Tom was overly optimistic about the UND Football team. Not in a bad way, I think he just tries to me more realistic than fans and doesn't view the season with hope and kelly green glasses in his reporting. This season he seem a little more positive in his writeups .... not necessarily from his own perspective, but it just sounds like there have been a lot of positives to talk about at camp. Malachi Butler's name keeps popping up and could be a critical piece for us. Red Wilson sounds like he is going to be a really exciting player and a fan favorite if he is as flashy as he sounds. Glad to hear Schuster has been solid, though I'd love to hear about some long throws to go with the short ones. I wasn't sure what to expect from Elijah Klein, but he sounds like he is really impressing. Hoping the coaches use him effectively with high fades to the corner of the end zone and some back shoulder throws. We say it every year, but there seems to be plenty of talent on this roster. Looking at how close we were in so many games last year and adding another year of experience (and hopefully some better coaching decisions) I'm feeling pretty positive about the season. Would love to see a breakthrough year for UND football! 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
