It is difficult, yet there have been multiple schools run the table in it over the past several years. The MVFC-difficulty talk can get a bit exaggerated at times, in my opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Let’s let the rest of this season play out. I will say, as someone who at the end of the year, has always been able to spin an optimistic future for this program, it’s hard to do right now. Seems to be too many holes from the coaching staff to positional groups. Starts next week. Need a true run like we have not seen yet at the D1 level.

I’ll always support this program, staff and student-athletes. I hope this team still wins several more games this season, but we also have to be realistic with the big picture. Hopefully Chaves is being realistic and considering the big picture, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re probably correct, but it’s unfortunate. Again, big picture-wise, this program has regressed some since NDSU win. Chaves and boosters better realize that; unlikely UND even beats NDSU if they play again this season, or next season when UND plays in FargoDome.

We have regressed since the NDSU win or maybe it was just one of those days for NDSU. The offense was pathetic yesterday. Same old swing-passarama . I don't understand our game plan. How easy is it to cover receivers if the refs are letting them hold and we never throw deep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 We have big, mobile LT and LG. We have a big, strong RB who is deceptively fast. Sounds like the 1982 Washington NFL team. (Yes, that’s Stone Age history to some of you.) Someone introduce the “counter trey” concept to Danny. https://studentofthegame101football.wordpress.com/2013/11/24/play-design-the-famous-counter-trey/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Sure, but what does UND have to do to get to #1? How long must we wait? What concrete changes must be made so that UND can realistically reach #1 status? Trajectory over the past decade has not been getting to #1, but rather plateauing as top 25 program.

Sioux94 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 So that post says we don't deserve to make the playoffs after our performance yesterday......as in losing by 4 points on the road to the #6 team in the country.....makes sense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND has historically bid the first game pretty high. What happened last year year won’t happen again. Should we make the playoffs, chances are high we are hosting the first round. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basing on just yesterday, agreed. If UND wins next Saturday and gets left out @ 7-4, you won’t hear me complain. Some of their losses have been bad. Some of their wins have been ugly. I’ll go as far as to say, they don’t only have to win against ISU-R, it has to be in convincing fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
