I don’t know, if NAU doesn’t turn the ball over down deep in the first half, and give us the two point conversion, I think the third and fourth quarters play a lot differently.

 

Never felt like UND was going to lose this game at any point. Domination on both sides of the ball

Hope we attempt a FG here. Let’s see #92’s leg!!

#92 struggles to kick it past the 10 yard line on kickoffs.  That could be an issue at some point in a future game........

You're right, they probably woulda beat us by 20 if not for that. 

No, but it’s another thing to think that those few plays didn’t give UND a bit of cushion that kept NAU just out of reach.  But that’s what good teams do, make the plays necessary, and capitalize when the other team doesn’t.  Let’s be honest, if we were on the other side of those plays we would be pointing to them as turning points that kept us behind the eight ball.

Hey man I actually totally agree. Although we used to be on the losing end saying if that one play went different we woulda had them. Now we are saying for the opponent, if one play woulda went different.......we probably wouldn't have had a 20 plus point lead in the 4th quarter.  #progress

I’ve been told he’s instructed to do that….. in warmups he’s booting them out of the end zone 

If he kicks a touchback 0% chance our special teams makes a play to pin them deep or forces a fumble. How often to kickoffs get taken back for a touchdown? Maybe once a year, got to add a little risk to see if the boys can make a play

I have a vague memory of us doing it against SCSU at St. Cloud when Kleinsasser played. 

Correct I was there.

There was no doubt during the game who was going to win.  2-0.  Beat Boise.

Looking at Russ Horn’s photos, those new green jerseys don’t look like North Dakota football jerseys. Have to say it…

Screams Canadian football league jersey to me.

Got home and watched the highlights. I see what a lot of you were talking about in regards to missed tackles and giving up big yardage on third down. That said, we led 37-9 with 6 minutes to go. That’s a pretty good beat down. No team is gonna come back from that no matter how many on side kicks they recover. Now let’s really go make some noise. 

[AJS]

Although frustrating to watch the opposing team play their 1st unit late in the 4th in a game they can’t win, playing up tempo. Incredibly valuable to the defensive depth. Valuable reps.

Mullin also had himself a game; seems like he gained some speed

I was impressed with how fast he scooted down the field on that return for 2.

They should be in green rather than black but those greens are hard on the eyes

I was too.  We won the game and I think it factored into the outcome, right?

[SWSiouxMN]

Defense does look better in areas from last year, but.... it still have room for improvement.

Is it enough to make a difference?

Offense looks good, but man... Tommy can't take too many more of those hits without hurting something. 

[shep]

Wathcing the replay now.

It sucks when the crowd is going wild and they have 3rd and 11 and get it. Their QB had a nice arm and good speed.

Tackling at the point of impact must improve.

 

[MoSiouxFan]

Thought Ocansey had a good game and seems to be improving.

[shep]

YES Just watched him make a nice play in the 2nd half

It was rough early on but he improved as game went on.
