Dustin Posted October 29, 2022 Author Posted October 29, 2022 Cardiac kids!! Not the type of victory I was hoping for, but it is a victory nonetheless. Get ready for a road battle now. Quote
Wilbur Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Gets to the point at the end where we can't put our gong show defense on the field so we have to grind out 8 minutes with the offense. I've never seen a team fall so much on their home field.....indoors....on turf..... None the less, big day offensively leads the way....the Hoos was on the loose. Nice to have him. 1 Quote
UND Football Fan Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Defensive Positives we forced turnovers and we scored with the short field. Except for 2-3 big runs we shut down the run. negative is …. to obvious to say Special Teams 2-3 FG made not going to complain We had 2 punts inside 10 so that was good KO- thanks to the 2 penalties only 1 of 3 big returns counted (glaring issue today) offense started flat, and picked up well. Great to see the Hogs get great push. Also that late 2nd quarter field goal set up by Tommy’s throw was huge. It was great to see the offense step up when other parts of our game was slacking. The last drive is what winning teams can do to ice the victory. Next week ISU Blue will be a battle, they were embarrassed and will be a different beast at their place. I’ll expect a 4 quarter game. Which we should win. 1 2 Quote

AJS Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Big win. The good news is there is no nuance when it comes to FCS rankings, just wins & losses. What I mean is it doesn’t matter if they beat ACU by 3 or 17, it’s all the same. Bubba called the win @ Youngstown complementary football, which technically it was. My biggest complaint this year is they seemingly play completely uncomplementary football. Today, the KO unit was as bad as I’ve ever seen. That hasn’t been the case all year. Defense steps up at times, then the offense stalls. Offense scores, defense gives up points. If they ever put it together this team could be really good. 2 2 Quote
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Defense is awful, special teams are awful. Coaches a major factor to blame for kickoff woes today. Offense under Freund is only capable unit. It’s why UND got crushed by SDSU when UND offense turned it over a bunch. As for this game (ACU 10/29/22), UND offense won it. Defense and special teams did all they could to lose it for them. As I said, under Bubba, I expected a toe to toe game. One error away from losing at all times. Frustrating. But reality of UND football under Bubba. Fun to see Hoosman grind out a victory at the end, though. Freund will some good calls. Tommy Schuster is a warrior; makes his overall pedestrian receivers look better than they are by buying time. Belquist is good, though, as per usual. I give Freund credit for sticking with Schuster, and I eat crow. On to the next big game; next week at Indiana State. Goes without saying, UND must win. Quote

Most are familiar with how UND under Bubba inflates opponents to make them look better than they are … I’m sure Saturday’s game will be a nail-bitter, just like how Bubba likes it … For the record; today went as predicted. Not good enough if we/UND want the football program to be a championship contender. Quote
AJS Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 I’m genuinely curious about this, so please if anyone has input. I’ve also felt this way this year, it’s that UND has a good offense and a bad defense. @UND-FB-FAN calling you out, because of your most recent post. The final score is 34-31. The defense put the offense in scoring position. ST’s put the defense in awful position all day. Was the defense today really that bad? Offense really that good? Quote

I thought the D stunk most of the day. O gets a TD, D gives up a TD in drives that took less than 4 minutes. ST downs the ball on the 1. D gives up a TD that took less than 4 minutes. Most of the game, their QB was really comfortable. NO pass rush for most of the day. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 They just beat a team that was 5-2 coming in the week after an emotional loss. They survived a trap game. Time to get serious again. 2 Quote
