Homecoming

[SWSiouxMN]

I don't know if this gets talked a lot, but Smith has some really good hands for a running back.  The screen game with him was really good yesterday.

Maag is starting to put things together, had another good game.  This will only help the offense going forward if he keeps this up.

Defense took a step forward in the 2nd half, now they need to build off of that.

Some say Bubba made a bonehead call against the Bison last year but that call may have shown teams that we are willing to take huge risks to go actually go for it on those plays. Keeps the defense honest ! Worked today!

This is the best post I've seen to date with a positive twist to possibly the worst call in UND FB history (must remember it took forever to snap the ball).

Appears to have been a great game. 

Appears the Alerus has the magic - although without a sellout:
In fact the only loss in
2019
2020
2021
2022
was the sellout.

Our punter has been outstanding, our place kicker has been good and his kickoffs and our kick coverage and punt coverage has been good. Our upback on KOR moved up away from that kick and our deep back didn’t get up in time to secure the kick before it hit the ground. That isn’t a coaching mistake, it’s a player mistake. Overall our special teams play has been good this year. 

"good" gets you 6 wins and watching the playoffs on the sofa

one the differences yesterday was our kicker made his kicks and theirs didn't...but it shouldn't be where we are absolutely shocked that a d1 kicker makes a 45 yard field goal....

if msu scores a td on that first drive of the second half we more than likely lose this game...a fg even would've been huge for msu.  doesn't change the fact that that play is unbelievably bad/embarrasing....

We need to learn how to win on the road, starting against Youngstown.
It's important, winning on the road (with Hawks Nest W's) = good record = curing some of the other stuffffff.

Good to know that if things that didn’t happen yesterday happened that the result would have been different. Really deep insight there.

lots of deep insight on siouxsports.com

Nice that our kick receive team’s mess up didn’t cause us to lose the game

 correctable mistakes and we still win are concerning but not terminal

We scored on every possession of the second half, and the last two possession of the first half.

Starting to think the reason we can't have nice things is because there's people that actually don't want them. They'd be lost if they couldn't sh*t all over everything. 

And there's a difference between understanding the team didn't play a perfect game and has plenty to work on vs. some of the dead horses that are continually beat around here.

Maag is having the season he deserves, came back for his fifth season (didn't have to), had a tough injury last year. Nice to see his number being called.

And that if they would have scored on their first drive of second half it would have negated the dominating offensive performance the team put on ;)>

There are momentum swings is a game, and this could of been a big one.

He’s moving so much better this year. Happy for him!

Especially in the Hawks Nest, been playing pretty good at home.

This game against MSU was a scary game after the debacle in SIU.  Really glad the team flush it.  I wish the fan base had but understand why.  Just looking at this one game w/o knowing anything about the previous games or the schedule ahead this season for both teams.  Hard to separate I know.  UND battles hard all the way.

This team is much more resilient then other teams in the recent past.  Looking forward I really like are chances. Last time UND was homecoming against UNC. 2017.

The game plan worked on Sat.   lets shut down YSU run game and win the game.

To be fair, my post was a direct shot at @Da Bears who was a bit butt hurt about the score and giving lectures about class and how Misery State sets the bar in that category.

Actually three of the 9 posts I posted were at @Da Bears, you had a great comment.

Watching a replay

damn. They scored on their first drive again 

wth

we saw what they were going to do yesterday.

adjust

come on 

[Sioux94]

How good was that catch that Red made along the sidelines but got called back by penalty.  He can obviously catch, so I think we have a burner type right now should Danny choose to send him deep a few times to try and stretch the defense.

No one else is shocked. You keep posting nonsense about Kostich. (A guy who was respected for his work at Minnesota before coming to UND).  Our special teams play has been very good this year and our special teams recruiting just got a commitment from an outstanding kicker from Fargo South. Somehow you have reached the conclusion based on a players mistake not only is Kostich to blame but you have continually posted he should be replaced. When our special teams have had a bad game you have wanted him fired, but when they are playing well you have changed to wanting him gone for one bad play.
