Not NDSU winning but have UND winning the game this year and every year from this year on into the future.

I have been happily against NDSU winning for over 50 years.  That was back in the days of Gus to Gus.

This is a UND fan site. Those who are fans are allowed to be optimistic. Perhaps you made a wrong turn and got here.

You are slow.

This is not Bisonville. Either contribute to the discussion or move on. #trollssuck

Decided to take a look at some of the numbers since everyone seems to be so concerned about our extra points.

Stevens is 74-76 97.3% on his career for XPs. That is the same career percentage as Adam Vinatieri and Mason Crosby (almost the same as Matt Prater 97.4%).

Last year in the NFL there were only 5 kickers who had a XP% higher than 97.3%. Just to put things into perspective, obviously nobody wants to see points left off the board but I think we need to put the pitchforks away and trust he gets it together. I’m confident he gets it back going this next Saturday and hoping to see some more success on his FG attempts as well.

Thanks for the analysis.

That’s great and all but he also cannot be relied upon to kick a FG over 30 yards. Kicking is a liability

Yep. I'd like to see an analysis of his kicks over 40 yards. We barely even try them these days though becausewe are better off going for it on 4th down

NFL xp is irrelevant after the distance change.

I have faith 92 is going to put it between the uprights.

I want our kickers to succeed, obviously.  But it feels like it's going to bite us again this year when we need a makeable kick to decide the game.

If it happens again (missed XP) in the first half, I would prefer UND to stop chasing points. Line up the next time and try another XP. I think they are now 0-4 on 2 pt conversions.

Seems crazy.  Seems like our passing game is perfectly set up for short yard gains, plus our O-line has shown it can get a push for a couple yards at will, plus we have Quincy who always seems to get 2-3 yards when you only need 1.  Haven't seen many of the attempts, but I am guessing we are getting too cute in the play calling??
