Schuster had his worst game that I have seen him play.. poor passes.. bad fumbles etc. the snaps were very poor many times we were able to run the ball.. Danny just didnt seem willing to take what he was given kicking game and lack of confidence in the kicking game is inexcusable.. bad punt as well multiple missed pics.. right in the DB hands really bad game by siegal. the decent our defense kept us in the game for 3 quarters while the offense really struggled we had chance after chance to make this game competitive.. super painful Other if we struggle with a running QB.. NDSU will roll us to all of the special teams apologists.. I dont see NDSU or any other college team regularly missing extra points etc. I realize Kostich didnt miss the extra point.. but he is the special teams coordinator and has been for the last 10 years or so.. he recruits and coaches these players.. somehow the extra point is still an exciting play for UND.. ITS TERRIBLE.. ITS AUTOMATIC FOR MOST, many high school teams dont have this level of excitement in the xtra point. Spare me the kostich didnt miss the extra point B.S. The extra point miss didnt lose the game.. but it put pressure where there shouldnt have been.. at the end of the 3rd quarter it should have been 21-28. this game was totally winnable.. totally winnable.. By the way.. Im not as negative as some.. I expect us to be very competitive against SDSU and have a chance to win that game as well. A week off will help this team and we should be ready to rock . This game was winnable.. Im super disappointed... unforced errors Other than the missed XP was the kicking that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 If it makes any difference, the Kansas City Chiefs play on the field today resembles UND's against Boise. Fumbling, fumbling and fumbling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been saying this for years that Bubba just needs to step aside and let Danny run the show. I don’t want Bubba fired but I don’t want to lose Danny either. I get that the offense didn’t perform yesterday so maybe not the best time to be hyping him up. Bubba did a great job of fixing the mess Muss left but we have plateaued. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying this should happen, but if it does, you don't think Danny is different than Bubba? One comes from a D background, the other O background. That alone makes them different.

No. Last punt was short but no returns even on the 50 yd punt. He netted over 40 yds per punt. That is good at any college level and not bad in the pros. Longest KO return was 24 yds and they brought that out of the end zone Missed XP can’t happen. Tends to be a mental issue with the kicker if it keeps up. Not sure about the backup but both of them need to be automatic on XP’s and short FG’s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kab Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 On the extra point can anyone see if it was a kicking issue or a placement issue the roughing the kicker should have been a penalty on them, clock was at 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux94 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 On Friday I said.....they need to take full advantage of the opportunities that present themselves. That is what was so frustrating, the dropped picks....fumbling as getting near red zone before half. We just can't ever seem to seize the moment. Not that we for sure win if the drops and fumble don't happen, but think it would have been a 4 quarter game at a minimum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 20, minute thirty left in the half. Lots can happen but I was thinking worse case we go into half down 8 although the way we were moving the ball possibly down one. Get the ball right after half. Instead we go in down 15. Dropped picks were frustrating as well. Some of those are huge game changers. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think it's time for a younger and fresher approach. I'll never know a smiggen about the game of football that Bubba does, but I do feel once things feel somewhat dormant it's time for a new approach. I thought I'd love Zimmer coaching my Vikings forever, but the time came and everyone knew. I think it's getting there with Bubba. People will have their differences of opinion about what success looks like. Is it a great season making the tournament most years, but losing out soon after? I dunno, maybe that's where I see things feeling dormant. Every year we're 7-4 and complaining that we got sent on the road before a first round exit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crosses my mind numerous times. So close in ‘13 to making this hire, but yet, so far. Bubba is a great guy, but a change in leadership would be best for UND. Bubba has given UND a decade of solid coaching, but at some point (and I think it’s soon), transition to a different leader is best. This is a conversation best had after the season - obviously. For now, it’s onto SDSU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on. Our next HC will likely be another “one of us”. But, have to hope for the best, I guess. A different leader is ultimately a different leader.

AJS Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 @Sioux94 I think that's the most appropriate description of this program. They cannot seize the moment. Seems they are incapable of it. Although it starts with the coaches, clearly, it's on the players as well. It feels like it's in this programs DNA to not make "the play". Up until this point. Bubba has done a great job elevating the floor of the program. What I'm talking about is the three games every year that they won't be favored, or it won't be the coin-flip type of games. They are also games I'm convinced they can win if they play clean, up to their ability. As predictably disappointing and frustrating as last Saturday was, it's also really important to take a step back when it comes to this season. Almost every fan if you said they would go 1-1 vs Boise State / SDSU, they would be excited. That's still a possibility. It's absolutely way too early to get too low. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
