Which trick play are we gonna run?

4 or 5. We are short on time.

[GoodGood]

Well Tommy, season on the line, what can you do??

[Sioux94]

Grand Valley drive right here!!! 

[Siouxperfan7]

Never thought we would be in this position. Let’s do this!!

[108498]

Time outs?

[Nodak78]

We need a 30 or 40 yard screen

[SiouxHawkGuy]

Now that’s a fumble 

[Sioux94]

screeen play coming 

[Sioux94]

what the hell...this possession has been horrible!! 

[Sioux94]

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 

[Cratter]

Looks like home field might have been a bit of a deciding factor after all...

[Nodak78]

Ncaa gave up $100k for weber to survive.

Wouldn’t matter the way Bubba prepared the team and coaches for this game

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. 

[SiouxHawkGuy]

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?

[wheelsup]

2nd week in a row.. over 300 yards rushing given up.. I’m amazed we had chance at the end

[forksandspoons]

Switch to a 4-3 defense 

[Sioux94]

The only thing I'm thankful for right now.........is Monster/Vokda taking the sting out of this.  

[UND-FB-FAN]

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.

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. 

[Siouxperfan7]

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.

I feel like this season proved we can certainly win with it. The offense overcame our brutal D all year.
