Missed and extra point and a close FG missed that wasn't even close.

And his kickoffs seemed to get shorter throughout  the game.  Then again, he had lots of them

Shoot. That red light therapy he’s been doing must not be working.

The Good, Bad and the Ugly. Start with the good. RB Z looked really good, even before his second half run. If he learns to be patient behind his linemen, he will be very good. Feeney also looked good. It doesn't seem like it would be a train wreck if Schuster went down. Good on him for sticking with it. The Bad. Defense looked no different than last years horror show. None of the front 7 can beat their man one on one. Only pressure comes from sellout blitzes. The Ugly. Kicking is plain terrible. From field goals to extra points to kickoffs. Nothing more to say about that.

By the second half, I was only cheering for a sack. They flushed the QB a few times, but no sacks.

Leg was worn out from all the kickoffs, good problem to have.

[shep]

Curious which posters from here were at the game?

hopefully some of the bad and ugly things are a one game deal.

and kicked one kickoff out of bounds

This could be a long season if the defense keeps getting pushed around up front.

Yeah, I was under the impression that our D-line was a strength.

That was 53, not 92.

Made it up for the game.  Brought my 11 year old son to the game and he had a blast cheering for everyone one of the 8 TD’s we had. He didn’t seem too concerned about the special teams play and the fact we didn’t get a sack

Prediction...... Ziebarth has  a breakout game

Expand  

Solid prediction. Hope his injury (unspecified) doesn’t cost him too much.

Let’s enjoy this win and then be miserable until next Saturday!

No reason to have Belquist on the punt return. Not this game, anyway. 

Expand  

Noticed this. Absolute stupidity to have your best offensive weapon in the game to return a meaningless punt in the 4th quarter. I’m sorry, but where there is smoke, there is fire; Bubba and Kostich are out of their league. Danny Freund made nice adjustments for the second half. He’s the future and nice bright spot (of not very many) on this staff. Defense was fair. worry about stopping the run still, and where were the sacks? Jeez. And Special teams are very questionable. Not only kicking game, but returners confused, and penalties … (roughing the punter by #36 was blatant I thought, but haven’t seen the replay)

There’s fun opportunities out in front of this team (@Boise - of which looked the opposite of invincible today against Washington, @SDSU, vs NDSU), but I worry the same ol’ same ol’ with the current “leader” is inevitably going to happen.

That’s what we’re supposed to hang to impress pollsters. 

Expand  

The pollsters (and myself) only care what this team does against Boise State, SDSU, and NDSU; and I guess for the final polls, the playoff field come November/December. With that said, you can’t have any bad losses.

we should copy unc.....very sharp combos between blue, white, and black

[SIOUXFAN97]

slapping the white facemasks on the existing uni's is next level......it's like we can't figure out that just putting out gray bottoms a few years ago or the hideous tops from a few years ago doesn't work if it part of an all new look.....like other schools do....it's half arsed

were all those flags North Dakota flags the players ran onto the field with?  assuming that's a play on our new 701 branding?

Expand  

It’s a “flagship” 701 pitch, which I think is a solid idea. Screw ndsu- bunch of hicks 

the entrance video was ok, could’ve been a more suspenseful entertaining tunnel walk but oh well, maybe one year they’ll get it. 
 

in-game production/entertainment was ok, maybe B- grade

The 2 missed kicks FG & Xtra Pt, I think the laces were in.  Might have been on the holder— and no, I’m not Ray Finkel.  Just my observation

To be fair. I can almost guarantee he was told to go in and fair catch the punt. Skokna was not dressed today and I don't know who would have been third option.

I agree with this. Romfo’s first opportunity today as holder
