If you just look at team statistics, you'd be thinking NAU wins by 10+ points.  Yards gained:  448-318.  First downs 28-19.

NAU will be thinking "what if" for a day or two: two missed field goals, a pick 6 conceded, and a flea flicker in the final minute.  

UND will be thinking, I hope, we're happy to win but there's more work to improve.

What was the TOP?  We didn’t seem to dominate that today. 

Sure the score was close, but we were on the road - that for us has been a challenge.
I'm still at the mindset that the D won this for us, by not letting their passing game take the game away form us.

This game isn't huge, but will score points in November as compared to losing.

9-9, 100 YDS and 2 td's to end the game. Good thing they play all 60 minutes. Tommy f'n Gun. 

Some of the live commentary on this thread is really something. The amount of people who seem to get some sort of joy at the first sign of any struggle is wild. Not sure if people enjoy being miserable or they are excited to pound their chest about your past criticism. There's a difference between being frustrated and wanting the team to be better and some of the commentary but to each their own I guess. 

Regardless, wasn't anywhere near a perfect game (and no one is going to pretend it was), a whole bunch of officiating went against UND yet they still pulled it off against what appears to be a solid team, from behind, on the road. Those last two things were what was missing last year.

I'm going to enjoy the W, hope everyone else can for a bit. We can complain about what SIU might do to UND next week sometime tomorrow.

Two things to point out.

CJ interception. #90 Orlando made a nice block so CJ could make his spin move.  Huge 7 point what if it was 3?

Wright's TD. He read the play correct and made a bee line to the endzone.  Play was intended for Zavalney trailing. Setting up a first down.  WTH take the TD with too much time on the clock.  

Three I can count.  Forget which defender tackled (Cole Davis)  a RS Freshman the jack on the pass in the flat.  A quick close and took the receivers legs out at the line of scrimmage.

This all happened in last two minutes.  A year ago our team didn't make those plays.

Heart attach watching but more enjoyable after the game.  Our first win in NAU land.  Wish I was there Sioux94.

Edited to add Cole Davis.  

Our ream is very Young.

Where was this offense all day 

Funny how no one mentioned the Oline all day except for those few bad snaps! They seem to be jelling!

[SWSiouxMN]

The O-Line got an important piece back this week didn't they?

Hope that the injuries are too serious and everyone is good to go for SIU

Who's hurt?

The secondary had Cole Davis who got burned on a TD but also redeemed himself with a great open field tackle in the 4th Q

But he wasn't even 2 deep was he?

Yeah Bryant was back. 
 

I agree on the injuries. At first, I thought maybe we were playing the game of stopping the clock but the first one at least looked like an actual injury.

Devon got banged up in the game. (shoulder?)

Looked like Kelley went down on a play too.

Color guy was brutal. Worst moment was the Belquist play where he thought because the NAU player was down, it meant Bo was down as well. Also said “we have to check in the rules in that one”. 

Looking forward to Brian Shawn and the Midco crew calling games from here on out. 

How about the holding calls being brutal comment?

[AJS]

Miller mentioned four guys. Coley and Krzanowski returned. Schultz / Ball was on the 2nd to last drive.

“UND safeties Ethan Ball and Jayson Coley, linebacker Devon Krzanowski and defensive end Casey Schultz each needed extra time to get off the field”

tommy was 5-5 for 75 against a prevent defense and you know what they say about prevent defenses....

so we're 2-1 with wins against a winless uni and a one win crappy big sky loser nau and a loss to a bad bad nebraska team....

i think what a lot of people on here want to see is for us to play a "clean" game and not have these moments where say WTF Bubba (the FG)....WTF Kappenun...turn your head ...make a play.....the penalties the head scratchers....bad bad 3 and outs when you really need to put some points on the board.

AND NOT rely on damn trick plays to win games (fun when they work but stupid when they cost you a playoff game (richmond)...two on the last series...yes they worked but at this point in Bubba's tenure i would love to be able to control the line of scrimmage and push a soft big fluffy team around the field and win like we know what we are doing...

nice throw by tommy two gloves on the flea flicker...he had a narrowing window to get that ball there and he hit him right in the numbers...nice

Man, who hurt you? Enjoy it for once. Yes we have improving to do, damn near every team does but my god it doesn’t have to be so negative every post.

I'm hoping they were just on the turf for a minute to get everyone some oxygen.
