From where I'm at, what we're seeing is an overreaction based on the UNI game. UND's secondary is not "scary bad", they'll be just fine. Defensively as a whole they were not great against UNI. Like I said originally in this topic, I think what we'll see is that more had to do with UNI's offense (which is really good) and their O-Line (which is really good). Guess we'll see this weekend. If UND defensively looks anywhere near what they did against NAU, then I'll start to worry. 

It’s a sample size of 2. UND secondary  is number 1 culprit for UND losing to garbage Nebraska

They only gave up 193 passing yards, which isn’t terrible. Or are they most to blame for the 244 yards on the ground? Or are you really fixated on that 3rd and long completion  that Nebraska had? 

[FSSD]

run contain has been a bit of a problem..  I can think of 2 or 3 long TD runs already.

He’s been out there. Maybe he’s not all that was advertised or maybe not a quick study of the playbook?

The entire defense has had major lapses throughout the first two games. The secondary is 1a because the 3rd and long conversion vs Nebraska was the critical play that gave away momentum for good. That same secondary gave up a 70 yard touchdown pass against UNI at the most inopportune time. With that said, the run defense/front 7 is 1b as an issue; it’s also been very suspect these first two games giving up big runs.

Or the interceptions, fumble recoveries, and TFL?

There are 3 long run plays atleast 2 are TDs that I remember. The 2 against Nebraska we had RB dead in his lane in the backfield, he made a complete cutback away from designed play direction and run right by defenders who thought they were behind the play and didn't seem to remain ready or were surprised he cut back. They need to remember that the play isn't over until the whistle and be ready for a cutback or reverse.

Malichi Buckner, #4 from Gardner Webb. He's been out there some but have not seen the All American in him.

[forksandspoons]

I think Buckner will keep progressing as he gets more familiar with the system. Hasn’t been with UND long. Only two games in - ceiling is higher than people think for the secondary as a whole IMO.

We have had some serious clunkers on the road, the last few years.  Hopefully we get that changed this week.

 Have to set a tone for how we play on the road all season.

That would be a pretty interesting stat if monitored right.

[SiouxFan100]

A lot of variables in a plus minus

would be interesting though

accurate enough to make decisions - probably not

imho

[UNDColorado]

Absolutely take the over in this game! Heck, I bet the over in the Nebraska game and pulled it out.

[SiouxFan100]

One day closer 

[Nodak78]

So Herder picked UNA over the Hawks.

 

 Let him eat crow.

Watching the D-2 Semifinal from 2001 (vs. UC-Davis) on YouTube. Wish we could get back to playing in games like that.

Yes, usually about 24 hours before the game.

Comforting to have an experienced quarterback on our side
