why didn't jerry win the job?

ask bubba why he can only win 52% of his games......if it's one thing...it's the next...... along with time management and coaches decisions.....u asking to solve a million dollar question.

And maybe Jerry is the better QB ... I just want to keep winning regardless of who is under center. And I do hope Jerry gets some playing time over the next few weeks. I just think that would be in the best interest of his development and the depth of the position anyway.

[SIOUXFAN97]

eventually (maybe as early as saturday) some d coordinator is gonna say wtf........send 8 and man on man outside and see what happens....

obviously the talk of the season so far is putting 4 new o-lineman out there and they seem to be holding there own....but EVENTUALLY you have to throw the ball downfield and i just don't see simon being that guy doing that.

if us not being able to throw then means we are running into a stacked box and we can't runnnnnnnnnn.....what's left?  (special teams??)

He was less accurate and less mobile during the entirety of camp, plus he's only been in the program for a year so doesn't have as good of handle on things. For those reasons, the new OC, who had no allegiance to any of the QB's, picked someone else.

Maybe UND will try to catch ISU off guard with some consecutive pass plays to start the game?

 

.......wait nevermind.

Lol right. 

Never more in my life do I want us to run Z right up the middle on our first play of the game. Given what happened last week....95% chance of that happening. Which if I was their DC I'd sell out on the run the first play to try and set the tone on their side of the ball

[SiouxFan100]

We need to take what the defense gives us. We need to be capable of taking what the defense gives us.

Some consecutive pass plays coupled with consecutive completions.  We need the rest of the league to see that on film.

It was one Saturday practice. He's not going to be QB1. Zero chance. Bo didn't come back for that.  Word on the street is he's Tommy Lite and most here wanted Tommy gone.

Expand  

remembered this post about Bo..........gotta wonder if he feels like he's being fully utilized thru 2 games with simon....nothing downfield (and he does have sneaky speed)...mostly short slants and whatnot.....

he needs a 10 catch 140yd and a couple tds day (today!) to get him going but can simon do that????

Yes. 8-165-1 should do it.

You’re not wrong. But probably something to be said that Bo can put up a stat line like that with a QB that is still figuring it out.

And, Bo chose to stay so I think he wants to be here and hope that he’s happy with the start to season. He made some plays on 3rd downs against Cyclones, great team W against Griz, and then a game where he sets D1 receptions record and got another W with good stats to boot. My guess is he’s feeling OK right now. But certainly can’t say I know for sure.

They did exactly that and UND scored 52 points. Yes the D scored and gave the O great field position, but O did it's job.

Anyone know the winning percentage when the Alerus has more than 10,000?

[Oxbow6]

Defensively through 3 games UND has been better than advertised

Since 2006 (UND site has no data of older that I saw)

Bubba 11 - 3 and 26-7 in other home games

 

Muss 5-2 and 18-10 in other games (note early days we had several poor teams for home games

D1 Eea 16-5 and 44-17

D2 games since 2006 5-1 in 10,000 plus games

so since 2006 UND is 21-6 in games of 10,000 plus crowd.

I'm going to say it.....if we had Cam Miller at QB we'd be Title contenders....deep playoff run contenders at a minimum.

I don't know about that, but I think a better passing game would make this offense more potent.

UND sent about 7 players to FBS this off season. Another to national FCS champs and one to CFL. Jerry or anyone going FBS could very well happen.

Why must we go back twenty years? Why can't we live in the now?

Just be proud that you're the best bicycle QB Scout in America.

[90siouxfan]

Siouxfan97 is Hedburg?

 

[Siouxperfan7]

You guys remember when we held our own against Iowa St, beat #4 Montana, and scored 52 points against Idaho St.? Those were the good ole days.

I get there is always things to be working on and be critical of, but man....sit back and appreciate what this team has done so far this season.

dj moore reminded me of bo in the isu game last night after trying to track down caleb's throws.....
