In what world will 7 wins not get us in? That would mean 4 losses if that happens. The 4 losses would be a P5 school, NDSU, SDSU, and a pretty good SIU team.

Another clear example of you can't take some of his posts seriously at all.  There is absolutely ZERO chance we don't get in the playoffs with only 4 losses this year.

the reason i keep posting about kostitch is because our ST consistently suck...no other way around it....first punt of the year...blocked...first kickoff return at home...fumble

i remember the day when we could roll out a kicker and it's snap, place, kick, and its good...from 50 plus...JGT, Glas, the kid from Ankeny....

now we can't even field a kickoff without turning it over....or just get a damn punt off and you win the game against stoney brook.

and it isn't just coack k....who punts when your down 3 scores with 7 minutes left in a playoff game when you have already given up 250 plus yards on the ground...who goes for it on 4 and 1 on your own 25?  time management issues....

we win one game people on here say we are unbeatable then we get blown out the next week...for every game bubba wins he loses one...that's not a good ratio...

we gotta win 2 more road games starting this week against youngstown and and isu...and then 2 more homes against sodak and acu...assuming we lose to sdsu and ndac...

let's see what bubba and the coaches can do bc 7 wins probably won't get us in...and i hope making the playoffs don't come down to a game winning 39 yard fg thats wide left

 

The good ol' days certainly get better with age. Glas missed 29 FGs (67/96) over 4 years, Zeb missed 20 (45/65) over 4 years, and JGT, though having the fewest attempts of the three, missed only 13 FGs (31/44) over four years. Their career FG% are pretty close -- 69%, 69%, and 70%, respectively. 

Compare that to Brady Stevens, who has only been kicking FGs in 2021 and 2022: Stevens has missed 7 FGs (11/18) over those 1.5 seasons, for a 61%. AVG.

No I don't think Tommy would have broken the DB's ankles if he ran it on that play.  

14, 90, and 2 all had vectors on him to the sideline; and, the DB coming from "Hugos" guaranteed no escape.

That was a "live to another play" situation.
Pitch it away; run another play. 

And don't take unwarranted hits.

It would be worth breaking those percentages out into 3 distance categories. <35, 35-50, 50+

True that. Who do you think had the better AVG from 35-50?

Cameron Peterka.
Then again, Brendan Hellevang was a machine from close; over 45 he got sketchy.

Oh...you mean the 2015 season where a Missouri Valley team made it in over us with only 6 wins? Sure would be nice to be a Missouri Valley team then...

I don't have distance breakdowns but for what it's worth Peterka was a career 72 percent FG kicker (58/80) over 4 years.

Hellevang was hella sketchy at 61% (45/73) over 4 years.

[The Sicatoka]

Yeah, I'd like 85% FG kicker from over 40 ... but if we're asking, can I get a "seven picks in a season" DB like Craig Riendeau sometime soon too?

Was I thinking Taubenheim but wrote Hellevang? 

We had a crazy run there for a while. 

How about this Fargo South recruit makes forget them all.

Ok I'll give you there is a .5% chance.  But your comment that at 7-4 we probably don't make the playoffs.....is just way off.  Being 7-4 in the MFVC will get us in.

And most importantly...for me anyway is that he is 6-8 this year and just seems a lot better.  Last year he was the backup, came in, and he looked like a really bad backup.  His kicks just look better overall this year and he looks more confident.  But there are a couple of gauruantees in life......death....taxes......and SiouxFan97 saying 'Kostich gonna Kostich' anytime a FG is missed.

yes that 7 win und team that didn't make the playoffs.

Everyone has to remember that Siouxfan97 yelled at Tommy for not running it on the play below. Tommy scrambled out to his left to bye time, yes he had a little open room but that defender in the flat was screaming upfield at him at full speed. Tommy wouldn't have picked up any yards on that play and he would have taken a hit. How many huge plays has Tommy made scrambling out to the right or left, and he has run it several times when it was completely wide open and picked up yards. But because Tommy threw it away on that play and doesn't run it every time he gets outside Siouxfan97 wants to pull Tommy and put Romfo in. He literally called for Romfo to come in and play yesterday, that is why you can't take half of his posts serious. Yeah let's pull a guy who is 1st in completions, completion percentage, and Interceptions in the conference for an unknown commodity just because he can run better. Makes perfect sense. 

Because Schuster has been so efficient with his running this year.  It looked like MSU had a spy on him the entire game.  When you tie up a defender as a spy it makes a big difference.

[SWSiouxMN]

UND is getting in with a 7-4 record and 5-3 in the Valley.

Full stop.

Odds are the 3 losses will be to playoff teams.

So you're saying the game where they did run Tommy is paying dividends now where they're leaving a spy and Tommy doesn't have to run and be in jeopardy, aka they put it on film. Sounds win-win to me.

If they aren't then they are going to have a nice quality win or two to offset whatever loss would be left on the schedule.

But, but our kickers suck because our coach sucks so you can’t tell us the other guys weren’t as good. Damn you and your truths.

Cameron was so dependable…but missed 2 in the championship game…heartbreaking.
