The sad thing was a couple years ago we were so good in the 2nd half after making adjustments and could shut teams down. Bad part was we usually gave up the big quarter in the 1st half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them a half to make adjustments and this is what good teams do. They have been doing it in the third quarter to teams all year. We played sloppy but it is hard to discount how well they played in the second half. Their talent finally showed why they are number 1 you guys are acting like we lost to some ordinary team…….. the best team in the country! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Too many Turnovers. Major missed opportunity … again. Rinse and repeat. Regression to the mean. We are who we are with the current setup. On to ACU on 10/29/22… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND defense in second half was outmatched, yes, but UND offense giving the ball away and UND defense not taking the ball away hurt. I think it is as much on UND not getting the job done as it is SDSU being a talented team and getting the job done. UND showed in the first half they have the players to get it done if they execute. Ultimately too many mistakes. Sloppy ugly second half performance. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I’m still fairly high on this team, but the margin for error just got narrower. Need the next 3 no ifs, ands, or buts. Offense put up 28 on one of the best defenses, with all their misgivings aside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIOUXFAN97 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 embarrassing that there was even one empty seat at the Al today....UND and the city needs to do more to get people in there......#1 team in country and its sdac...that shoud be an easy sellout. first play of the game and tommy airballs a long td....that needs to stop...still got a td on the drive but he needs to make those plays or next man up.... gave away maybe a fg on that last play of the first half....either maag catches that or it lands in the conference center.....that can't happen but it did boy it would be nice to have a few hundred drunks on the north catwalk yelling down on some of those sdac plays in the redzone instead of the 11 media guys typing away up there....total total joke on the alerus people... special teams being special again. on to acu.....get to 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole “moral victories” and “accepting mediocrity” has been beat to death in this forum. There are good moral victories, and finding them and pointing them out, though the game was lost, does not equal accepting mediocrity. Here are some of mine: UND played a clean (and classy) game. The same could not be said of SDSU. despite all its misgivings, the offense still put up 28 points. Special teams added 7. we did better in several Statical categories than other SDSU opponents. and ultimately, the team did not quit. these guys still have a big upside. Get the next 3 and we’re in business. Not getting the next 3 would be mediocre, and I will not accept it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodakvindy Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 This team can still run the table from here. Need to play with an edge from here on out and put the foot on the throat when opportunities arise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a late hit right in front of me not called and? what is that horse collar call? The SDSU player had his arm around our players neck and brought him down….our players was racing the stands so the ref saw (?) the back of the SDSU player. I am sure there were more. They were big, yup. I absolutely loved the first half but we hung in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like we have the top facilities and salaries in the league. Like I’ve said many times before I would like to know who and how we are going to attract top talent to GF by canning our coaching staff! SDSU has a roster full of studs and they showed it today. We can build it up like SDSU. They still haven’t won a title with their top teams but I don’t hear them calling for Stigs head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Step of the f&@$ing ledge you idiot haters. Good lord. We lost by 14 to the beat team in the FCS. They have multiple players that will be playing in Sunday. This wasn’t losing to Sioux Falls. Seriously. The Jacks may not lose a game the rest of the year. We should be favored in our next 3 games. 2 are at home and the other is a Valley bottom dweller. 7-3 headed to Fargo puts us in a great spot. Everyone needs to calm down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather have that vs. apathy and low expectations. I made a positive comment that our team kept playing the game long after their "fans" on this board gave up on their team. People downvoted me for pointing out that our team didn't lay down and quit. They played to win until the end. That should be recognized as a good thing, but this is a toxic shithole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better team usually will find a way to win a game as the games go on and SDSU is the better team. Then the pick 6. And well we've seen numerous games where UND is two different teams before and after halftime. And it didn't take long in the second half for us to see which team UND was after halftime.

We have been wandering in the FCS wilderness for 15 years now. At some point, we need to beat someone we are not supposed to and make a statement. Like when we broke the 12 year losing streak to NDSU in 1993 at home; our program went to the national semifinals that year. How long of a wait is too long? Where do we draw the line? This team is close to being special, but whether or not we ever get over the hump remains to be seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N of GF Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) I've never been involved in organized football (I was a pretty damn good WR during grade school recess. lol) so I'm a little naive here. It seems obvious that UND has troubles starting the second half. They can look really good in the first half, and then it goes to !@#$ right from the first snap in the third quarter. I think it hasn't been as pronounced this season as it has before, but it clearly happened today. Please enlighten me... without bitching about Bubba ball and Danny and all that.
