ND-fan Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I think this game comes down to our defense and reason for this we need to stop them and give our offense opportunities to take apart this NDSU defense which I think that can be had. But if we let them control ball and keep our offense off the field NDSU defense will look much better than it is. I believe if our offense can jump on them and offen this could be game we have been wanting for long time. If this happens NDSU will take big risks to get back into the game opening them up to making big mistakes and opportunities to control the game. We need control tempo of this game and I believe it starts with the defense. This what SDSU did to us and reason we look so badly and reason is SDSU is FCS team with FBS offensive line and NDSU has had previous years but now they are very good offensive line but not of caliber like SDSU. I don’t get so many of you if you thought we were going to beat SDSU at home with team they were returning from last year that pretty much destroyed everyone last years playoffs. It’s like you all given up on our team and lost all hope we will never win any big game if that’s the case your perfect examples fair weather fans. I disagree with number posters here on how we get to winning championship but I also believe your entitled to your opinion but as fans it’s our opinion it still decided by administration and people they look to guidance. The bottom line I believe we have to remember this and when we’re in middle of season we’re committed with team and coaches for this year and if you want change start working aDministration convincing them a change is needed. But let’s get behind this team and I think difference now is they need to have confidence to play games their capable of. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their two QBs run the ball well and that is it. Below average passing game and well below average defense. If UND thinks they can win simply because NDSU has fallen down to the pack, then this will get ugly. It’s been steadfast and true ever since NDSU started their run, that for UND to beat NDSU, UND will need to rise to the occasion, not wait for NDSU to fall. As much as I hate NDSU, they are aggressive with their football program, whereas UND institutes mediocre coaches and extends them after losing seasons. Major difference. Only hope is that Saturday has a very strong pro-UND crowd on hand and that raises the level of play from all the UND boys. I don’t see the coaches suddenly “flipping the switch” in terms of their demeanor and decision-making in big games. They’ll coach on eggshells as per usual.

This team you speak of went 5-6 … and Bubba was extended. So, according to the administration, you’re not wrong; they think 5–6 is good also.

They are more of an average team this year. At the alerus, I like our odds. I remember we were down 17-7 and scored a late field goal as window dressing. Can we beat them in GF - yes, as we know it's all about the OL and DL - that's it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing the majority of that stat is from one game against a really crappy opponent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to be a disciplined and mentally tough team to win on the road consistently, and we haven't been able to do that. Our home record is great, we need to take the next step and be consistent on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post geaux_sioux Posted October 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2023 This is the worst NDSU team since 2009, but for whatever reason I’m still not confident.

Unless we are extremely good and they are extremely bad, I don't see a reason for confidence until we have actually beaten them. Hopefully, sure .... but we've played 2 big games this year and shown we are not up for the task. This is a big game and while they are not Boise or SDSU, i don't trust our team or coaches yet. Hoping for a W and to use this as a springboard for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Green Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 UND under this coaching staff is completely different home vs away. UND home field advantage has been worth about 20 pts. in the past As hard is the loss was 2 years ago it was a 1 score game and they went on to win the national championship. UND has won some big games at home. If the crowd is 95%+ pro UND and loud on all downs on Defense, we have a very good chance to beat them. I feel more confident in this game than i do vs USD and N Iowa as those games are on the road. 24-21 UND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
