UND @ NDSU 11/19/2022

[Sioux>Bison]

Get stops and then go score! Must happen this second half 

[forksandspoons]

The clock operator is horrible… 

[Wilbur]

Our defense should hold here....with only 6 seconds....

[Devils]

Pretty shocking to only be down 14 at half after feeling totally dominated.  I don't have much hope for a W with how our run D has looked, but I guess we'll see.

We got Bubba on the task. 9 more years, and he’ll have it done. I’m confident. 

He’ll be in a nursing home within 9 years from the look of him…

They have a good chance.  <crosses fingers>

[MNHawk]

I’ll be surprised if we make better halftime adjustments than the NDSU staff does, but if we do make a game of it I’ll be the first to give Bubba credit.

did brett figure out mattress miller on that 3 and out?  

let's go

[siouxfan512]

We’ve got a mountain to climb in the second half.

[BarnWinterSportsEngelstad]

We're very lucky to be down only by basically the spread.

[ChrisUND1]

Nightmare start.  Looks like UND has settled down and we won’t see those miscues/fluky stuff in 2nd half.  How about a stop out of the gate in 3rd quarter!

[Sioux94]

Our turn to hopefully catch(make) a big break in the 2nd half.  

[tnt]

So, hypothetical.  If the call had been overturned, why wouldn’t UND have had their offense ready to snap the ball at the goal line with 6 seconds left. What would have the refs done if ruled no touchdown? It would have been a first down so they would have to reset the chains.

[forksandspoons]

Need to force a turnover or two

I said this a long time ago, we need to do what we did in the 80’s. Develope an offense and Defense that can beat NDSU and recruit players for that scheme to beat them. 

We are trying to recruit those guys. We have even offered the same guys more scholarship money and the kids still pick ndsu. It’s not like we have the top pick of the upper Midwest

Not really just need to get stops, that simple. 30 min left to play is an eternity for being down 2 TD comeback.

That’s how it looked when NDSU played SDSU, and in that case the scenario flipped in the second half, but then again SDSU have a better defense that just didn’t show up in the first half.

he offense that beats NDSU is a 4-5 wide, sling it everywhere style with a mobile QB. That is nearly impossible to recruit that many athletes on the edges at the FCS level.

I’m not referring to the 80’s Bizun, yes they can run spread but it all starts with the run. We are not recruiting/scheming dealing with the physicality and size of their line. Fargo can go I run and QB zone run read. We may have to go with 4 man line or a 4-2. With how our defense been over the past few years against a physical run team has been slow death with run (Nichols, and Spring playoff game) The last few years we have had a decent secondary, however this year it has been uncharacteristically horrid.

[BarnWinterSportsEngelstad]

I was scared of this type of start; stage freight, chocking, butterflies, or whatever.
Team has settled down some, there is a chance. Hang on to your seats.

[SIOUXFAN97]

repeat of sdac v ndac game?

Just too small up front in DL in my opinion. 

[Sioux94]

I don't want to jinx it but the snaps have been good so far.
