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

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 ;)>

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.

There are usually not this many golden posts in a thread:  One pregame post, rest are postgame.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

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.

"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....

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.

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.

Many will be in Alerus before hockey, or will have hands on steering wheel not keyboard during the game. 

As of end of Sunday there are 667 posts on this Missouri St. thread.
As of Sunday Sept 25 there were 671 posts for the Southern Illinois thread.
As of Sunday Sept 18 there were 724 posts for the Northern Arizona thread.

All pretty close.

*Side note: Any criticism on Tommy is hilarious, this kid has taken a HUGE step forward this year. Really glad we get to have him next season too. His ability to stay calm and extend play has been so beneficial and he has shown this numerous times this season. Kid has been fun to watch!

Absolutely. The "experts" have been proven wrong. Tommy is so cool out there and let's face it, most of the time he's scrambling away from large men who want to hurt him.

CUE the "experts" saying "But he hasn't won the big games"

It’s a team game. Entire team, coaches included, need to be looked at. Quarterback position is a focal point, though, for good reason. In big wins, like vs #7 Missouri State, Schuster deserves a ton of credit. He played very well in 2nd half of game. But so did the entire team, namely the offense
 

next big game? The game on Saturday, where UND can prove to everyone, including themselves, that they can follow up a big win with a win on the road to keep the momentum going. 
 

a loss here would be crippling as it would push the team back to the status quo- what the track record of Bubba has been. Win and the narrative potentially changes.

The defender is closer to the line of scrimmage than Tommy is. Plus MSU's 6'3", 250lb DE is crashing from the side which removes any sort of 1 on 1 move Tommy could have tried. Throwing this ball away was absolutely the right call. He bought a bit of time to see if anyone could get open and then got rid of it.

How many teams can say they played FOUR quarterbacks in a game: 

Schuster, Vaughn, Romfo for the goal line RPO, Feeney to run victory formation*. 

 

*He did take two shotgun snaps (run plays) which did concern me given our propensity for "airmailing" those at times.

They called for a two point play at 26-21. To me that's easy; that's the right decision to try to go up seven. 

But at 32-21, they ran a two point play (yes, it worked, 34-21 and up 13); but, I would've called for the K and go up 12. Your thoughts?
