Gotta figure something out at OLB and DB. Opposite CJ we have NOTHING. It’s bad. OLBs are hit and miss. Some sacks but also bad against the run. SDSU MSU and SIU will have a field day if it’s not fixed. 

I think we are 2-0 if Nelson and Roberson don’t transfer. 

[The Sicatoka]

The LBs were out of their run defense lanes worse than I’ve seen in years.

Idk

for anyone to say someone or the offense or defense was terrible - idk

the other team has players who make plays too

we made mistakes. - they made mistakes 

we have things to improve and so do our opponents 

we will get better

the little I know  - we have to talent to get better.  Still early. Many don’t have the experience yet.  They will

great day for UND football

I agree that both teams usually have play makers and make plays and can't always blame it on crappy play by a defender. 

That said the one side of our secondary is rough. Give me ANY of our DII corners since 1990 over there verses what we've got now. Hoping they will improve with more game action though, hard to overcome giving up so many big plays.

Wasn’t even chuppy

I agree with Dosch and the UNDFB360 tweet: Best QB play we’ve seen in a while.

But the only real difference: they took the leash off Tommy and let him run, and even called his number a couple times. 

Insider info.....that's what happens when you expand the play book beyond 12 plays (from a game last season).

[Siouxperfan7]

Of all the things that went well today, being able to finish a game and run down the clock with 6:51 left in the game after that 75 yard TD was huge.

Quality win.

You can learn when you win just as well as when you lose and we have a lot of learning to do....but got the W!

yeah, I’d go more with good day

Today showed UND’s future opponents that UND has major defensive issues that need to be corrected

On that bomb Hembry didn’t lay a finger on him. Let him run right by. Gotta get a piece of him.

Last years team could not do this. It was huge.

I refuse not to be happy about this win

I am optimistic that we will get better 

 

[Siouxperfan7]

Danny on that last 3rd and 10 play…

[Sioux94]

Let's give some credit to the coaches and players, they found a way to win against what will likely be a pretty good MVFC team. We desperately needed a winning mindset going into the rest of the year. 

It was a definite difference maker with Tommy making plays with his legs today. There isn't anything I would have changed about when he run or decided to throw today. That 3rd and 5 QB keeper up the middle was great, one nice thing about him not running before is....they never expected it. 

[forksandspoons]

What a game by the whole team! Tommy was awesome!

[SWSiouxMN]

Always good to start conference play 1-0.

Now take care of business in Northern Arizona next week

When we beat uni do you think we will be ranked higher then them next week?

Not when we win by only a couple of points.

Me too and I know the Bison will be feeding on us tomorrow but I do not care.

I don't know if "took the leash off" is the right term.

Coaches have been urging him to tuck and run more since he got to UND. 

Difference is as you pointed out, appears they have more designed runs for him now it seems.

Tommy still don't look that confident throwing past 15 yards. He's a "game manager."

Guess you could say Bubba now has balls of steel? Lol

Seems Bubba is always right on that thin line between brilliant and bone headed.

Just like the W today was by a very thin line.

[terbele]

Missed the second half - any replays, or highlights anywhere?

 

 

[Cratter]

This game was an L last year. 

Seems like UND lost most their games by one possession last year.

[Oxbow6]

Kudos to the students.....their sections were full and stayed until the end.

How long was that one TD pass?

39 yards and put in a place where only Belquist could get.  That was a money throw.
