for how many years has he sucked?  couldn't find someone in the portal to replace him?

They tried with FCS all-American Malachi Buckner but the defense is too complicated for the safeties to quickly learn … typical b.s. and baggage this 3-4 system has always had

We lost 2 starting caliber secondary players in the F'n portal, right??

[FSSD]

well 4 possessions by SIU (77 TD, 62 FG, 68 TD, 75 TD) and UND won the time of possession battle in the first half.  What does that tell you?

We have rarely used the portal for much. Pretty much every team we have played have atleast one FBS drop down if not more, and I can't really remember any for us, or impactful ones atleast. I think a QB a few years back? 

[SWSiouxMN]

Defense needs an attitude adjustment in the locker room

they go down 21.... not great Bob. 

[UND Football Fan]

Watched first half, we are the slower team by far. Especially on defense. We had some chances for 3rd down stops and did not finish. Offensively we do not have that dynamic player that can scare their defense. Our young linemen are not getting a push. Hopefully we make solid second half adjustments like last year and put ourselves in position to win.

We lost a lot of D players, but I thought by now we would be getting there.  It’s ugly.

what's the word on why they all left?  It's killing us.  Robertson isn't even seeing the field but said there were other reasons he left.

Seems early for the Bubba mid-season let down game, but here we are 

To be fair this is Bubba Ball and we are on the road.

Right.  It takes 3 years to learn our system.....meanwhile top FBS programs across the nation plug and play freshman every week.

Very true, very true. You think Chaves will hand out another extension if we go 6-5?

Last season was a mess off the field.

I have no idea but is it really that hard to learn?   

If he has any ability maybe he needs to learn on the fly

[rochsioux]

Well at least we held them to a FG on one possession. They’ve made it very difficult for SIU offensive coaches to make any adjustments since everything is working.

This team won’t go 6-5, unless defense improves a bunch.

Beyond Otis?   and are the messes still with us?

[SiouxFan100]

We may have a couple of things to work on

That’s fair. But 5-6 or 4-7 is probably still okay for Chaves, as long as hockey is out in Vegas and giving people something to do and travel to in March/April. 

[UND-FB-FAN]

To be fair, with Freund, UND could still win this game, but the defense needs to obviously wake up and make some plays.
