Couldn't we just kneel it and not risk a high snap fumble?

Was wondering the same. Either way, victory formation.

South Dakota is going to be tough next year, sounds like only 12 seniors on the team.  They will be better with Bauman at the helm all year next year.  Enjoying this win.....let's get another next week!

Still too close for my comfort level throughout the game, but it turned out about exactly the way most thought it would. Kudos to special teams for saving the game. Great job by them. Defense still needs work if we’re going to win a playoff game.

Wasn’t always pretty, but a solid 7th win! Way to earn it! Now go get a seed!

defense will have to tighten up a bit, but our offense just needs to keep doin what they are doin.

Finally can exhale!  Nice job D! 

I pretty much only breath once the game is over!

SIU currently beating the smelly cows. SIU may have murdered the Bison kick returner on the last play. Wow!

Agree, but when it's all said and done today....they only scored 19....not bad.  They are better with Bauman at QB than they were earlier in the year when they didn't look good.  Just when I said earlier....why the hell would anybody predict we hold someone to 20 points or less...we do it

Back to the game: 

My mid-week thoughts are:

UND 28

USD 20

Sticking with history on this one. Close and the home team winning

Damn USD, you just had to get that XP blocked

Offense was in control all day.  Defense bent.....but finished at the end.

Only blip was interception in the end zone. ST bailed them out and then they cashed in.

And he only threw that because it was 4th down....might as well throw it up and hope.  If that was 3rd down he throws it out of the back of the end zone.

Good points. I was thinking the safe play was out the back of the end zone, even on 4th down.

Yeah woulda been safer because if it was incomplete they only get the ball on the 2.  But I doubt he was thinking about that....he was just hoping for a prayer on the jump ball.

With way the special teams are playing I’m just hoping we can keep Kostich.

Another W for this team.  7-3.  Let’s go!

Talks to Hoosmans parents today at game.  Told them how much we appreciated his play.

I think the biggest matchup is Luepke vs UND defense. I mean, UND didn’t look great against Theis today, who runs with a similar style as Luepke. Now, if Luepke isn’t playing next week, that’s a huge bonus for UND football.

Might just have to attend the game next week despite having to be surrounded by those yellow ass-holes..

7-3 vs one of the most difficult schedule me in the FCS with coaches who can’t coach and a roster of D2 players.

Yes, but the reality is this team has only won 3 games. The defense bent and broke about as much as most people expected. Not great. Not horrible. Move on and Try to get better.

Agree, however I think their record might have been better with Bauman playing all year.  With him in the won their last two games and just beat SIU who went 'toe to toe' with the Bison.  Defense definitely still makes me very nervous and our offense will have to win most games.  But before the game I would have easily taken 19 points if somebody said that is all USD would get.
