wheelsup Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I think if the offense commits to the run and throwing the ball downfield we will be just fine. That’s a big if.. as if u watch the USD / UNI games we clearly don’t do that. Yesterday when we ran the ball we did very well.. all those crappy little outside passes behind the line of scrimmage are totally defeating. ndsu has clearly stepped up its game after playing us. If we commit to a similar offensive template as we used against NDSU we will be fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They then will go on the road and play average/good teams and lay an egg (or eggs, as they did this season) then return home with all momentum lost/soured fans. They gotta figure out that road issue. The road issue has been an issue for many years … won’t change until there is … wait for it … change 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodakvindy Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 So looks luke UND and NDSU may be Big Sky bound if the can get to second round. I don't think they set up 2 conference rematches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND Football Fan Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Two years in a row with poor 3rd down defense and defense in general. If I would guess if Bubba stays (AD does not do a buyout or he does not retire) The AD needs to demand the Defense and staff would be overhauled. USD kept coach but put in a new “O” coordinator, got new assistants like Bagnell from Mary. Their offense wasn’t great but it sure complemented their Defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a very early prediction on the 2023 season... Drake - easy W Northern Arizona - W @Boise State - L @South Dakota State - L Western Illinois - W North Dakota State - L @Northern Iowa - L Indiana State - W @Murray State - Toss up - bad team but we are on road in a new venue @South Dakota - Toss up - avg team but on the road Illinois State - Toss up - good team but at home There you have it. somewhere between 4-7 and 7-4. I was wildly wrong on the NDSU game, but in the end was pretty damn close. This team didn't play really well for an entire game after the NDSU game and in fact played many clunkers. As Geaux Sioux said, Bubba has raised the baseline fo rNorth Dakota football but has also reached his ceiling. 5-7 wins and an first round loss is it.

Popular Post Wilbur Posted November 25, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2023 The regression after they thumped the Bizen will forever bother me. After that game you would have thought the program was taking another step and a deep playoff run was possible. The coaches let that game become the season. They never recovered from the biggest win in years.... Back into the playoffs, give up half a hundred, confuse the hell out of the fan base by not pounding the ball when that's where you're having success. Please make some moves....somebody....please. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F'n Hawks Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 When you have your worst defenses in your tenure during year 9 and 10, and you are supposedly a defensive minded coach, that should say it all… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said that actually. I’m just saying we can’t afford it. We could afford to move on to a new d coordinator and scheme.
