Sioux94 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Wow ALL of those last three plays were garbage!! It's like we felt we had to get 15 yards when it was 2nd and 21. Hell....just get 10 on 2nd down. F me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I’ll applaud the valiant effort of the second half. Ready for a change on defense, at least. Scoring 31 in a playoff game should be enough. It was a problem all season. Our offense could overcome against lesser opponents, but not playoff caliber teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxHawkGuy Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Onto Drake. And remember if UND finishes 3rd place or above the Missouri Valley is down down down. And if our bid is higher than the opponent we’re still playing on the road. NDSU usually wins this thing right? And they don’t like UND right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-FB-FAN Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 Danny Freund and the offense is okay. Can perhaps win with it. But the defense - and even the special teams - is no where near championship caliber. Disappointing since UND is led by a defensive background head coach. If the correct changes aren’t made, including to both coaching and players, then this defense won’t get it done. Hit the transfer portal hard, and consider some defensive staff changes. Please, please, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux24/7 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 If this is at home, we win. No doubt. But it wasn't and we lost because we came out flat. Had a couple of missed big plays by key veterans that could have turned it. On to next season I guess. Will be interesting to see the “first off I want to thank the University of North Dakota but having said that I will be entering the transfer portal” tweets the coming days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Siouxperfan7 Posted November 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2022 Gotta applaud the boys for never giving up. Like most of us here. Down 24-0 on the road, some teams might have given up. But these guys battled back. Obviously not the result we wanted, but man these boys deserve a lot of credit for staying in the game still trying to win till the final horn. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, please, please. Would agree on offense, we are good.....but still room for improvement. Weber and NDSU made us look pretty poor for large chunks of the game on the road. Definitely a good foundation on offense, but need a little more production in the first half against teams like NDSU and Weber who have speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think where we could be with some complimentary defensive. Yep, defense is awful. Tells you where this program is at. Danny Freund is an Up-To-Date contemporary coach that can motivate his guys. Bubba, the ol’ game manger and former DC, is way out of bounds. Holinka is in over his head. The defensive staff is inbred and not with it. Either Bubba retires and Freund elevates to head coach and makes changes to the defense, or Bubba makes some hard decisions and reshuffles the defensive staff. Also, defensive player skill level and strength needs to desperately improve. Bottom line, need new blood on defense, both coaches and players.

Sioux94 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Just now, F'n Hawks said: I wouldn’t say no doubt we win at home. We still wouldn’t have stopped them. Agree. I think Weber is the better team, but I think maybe we create a few more breaks at home and have a better chance. I will be cheering for Weber the rest of the way. They are one of the Big Sky teams that I've never really hated.....just respected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNHawk Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 We were fortunate to be within 7 points of Weber despite being gifted 7 points by the refs. I don’t know how you can say the result would have been different if this game was played at the Alerus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDL Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 in looking at the game notes 15 of the 22 on the defensive 2-deep list are junior/senior/grad students. Considering how they played it can be assumed that the sophomores and lower weren't able to supplant many of them. For those of you who know football better than me, how do you fix this defense? Also, should discussion about the incoming freshmen class be in a separate thread? I would like to know who, other than Caden Dennis, shows promise amongst the incoming freshmen.
