The Offensive sequence at end of 3rd qtr and start of the 4th was the game.  That was our chance.  Ball at mid field at end of qtr after a first down on 3 straight runs.  Next 3 plays are two sacks and an incomplete pass.  We take the lead on that drive and the game is ours.  No idea why Danny called a pass at that moment other than he probably had too much time to think about the call between quarters.

When the 4th quarter started i texted my buddy who was traveling that UND has ball at mid field to start the 4th quarter and all the momentum...feels like we will probably win 38-28 or maybe 42-28.

A little bit chicken/egg argument as to if it's coaching or talent - a bit of both with the understanding that coaches recruit talent.  But we sure aren't getting the best out of the talent we have.  After the SU game I thought wow - Bubba finally turned the corner.  Wrong.  The regression from that game was stunning. What kind of staff can't build off of that victory?  Looking back the Dancing Bubba video almost seems like a cruel joke.

I love CJ Seigel and I know he may have been dealing with some injuries but is he any better right now than he was in 2019?

Probably to keep the defense "honest," but when you run the ball like we do, in that situation you probably continue running it until you're forced to pass.  A number of factors that, in hindsight, could have/probably would have turned the game around.

Were we forced to pass? No beqcuse we were still getting 6 a carry

 

when that gets to 1-2 then we pass

Exactly my thoughts at the moment.  The game was ours to lose.

Did someone say "contract"?

This is the contract prior to most recent extension (2021), but I suspect the termination without cause section is much the same in terms of compensation for remaining years of contract. In summary, no changes for at least 1 more year, maybe 2.

... which is why I hope (after some soulsearching*) there's a realization and a resignation.

This goes back to coaching.  Not even close to enough player development under this staff.  Who was the great frosh  that improved a bunch under this staff?  Siegel was a great example.  He is the type of player(there have been a few others) who should have developed into a consensus all American.   It never happens at UND.

I have mentioned the same thing to our group.  90% of the players regress under bubba.  Just look at Santiago. He goes from fresh all American to this coaching staff nearly killing him his senior year.  They copied and pasted every play with him powering up the A gap.  Hard to watch.

With Kilty and Donny V (prototype OL for the play) I told Freund he should be running the old Washington/Riggens "counter trey". 

I'm sure he'll try it without them next season. < sigh >

Assuming Texas Tech was recruiting Kelsey as he already has an offer

I’m honestly surprised they weren’t running this (or really any counter for that matter) this season. 
 

as the wise Bubba would say, hindsight is 20/20, so I guess we shouldn’t question it ….
