I’d love that honestly. We left a lot of meat on the bone down there on both sides of the ball.

I’m with you, but I keep thinking it’s going to be in Fargo.

Hell, I’d take that too. They’ll kick our ass but whatever.

Let’s just win Saturday and see where we sit, hopefully ndsu loses to make it interesting

Depends how many points they have 

why would isu's offensive output have anything to do with it?.......that would be 3 points in 10 qts against good teams.....

If it’s 24 to 3 then put him in

if it’s 3 to 3 , no I wouldn’t 

[CMSioux]

Tommy is running for his life on a majority of the plays, his skills in eluding the rush are so good it goes unnoticed. If we had a pocket passer it would really be ugly.

once again why would what the other team is doing matter........if tommy/danny were at 12, 13, or 14 straight scoreless qts at halftime against isu you would just say......."dam is gonna break soon?".......... season ends on 3-0 loss.

Thank god for Tommy! Offense would’ve been a real disaster without him against Boise (18 points), sdsu (14 points), UNI (0 points), USD (3 points)

He had several chances to pick up 6-8 yards but the line of scrimmage is like an electronic fence. if he took those yards and made teams pay the rush would slow down a bit.

Lol, Tommy is not good in the pocket.

Tommy is often running for his life because on a conventional drop back pass he holds on to the football forever!  Now that's either because our receivers can't get separation to get open...or he is unwilling (or unable) to make throws on his first read...leading to either check downs or scramble drills...Physically it's tough for him to step up in the pocket and throw the football...and with his arm strength that's an issue as well.

Against bad teams we are extremely good at ad libbing...against good teams...they get home.  Just my two cents...

[gfhockey]

When’s the last time the offense scored a td against a team with a winning record?

 

is it ndsu?

running for his life?

What does bubbas chart say that he got from Lennon?

[sioux24/7]

I’ve been a Tommy backer most of his career and I still think the guy is a good FCS QB (at least at home) but for this boards sanity, my sanity, everyone’s sanity, I really hope he doesn’t use his Covid year. It’s time for new blood and I wish Tommy the best, he will be in our record books for a long time.

agree 100%.. anyone that really hates Tommy needs to go back to when we had Ketteringham.  Tommy has leveled up the program in my book and deserves a lot of credit.  That being said, Im ready to see a new guy back there next year and maybe even yet this year.  The combination of Tommy and Danny have lost their Mojo in my book.  My guess is its a combination of both.  Tommy would look a lot better if Danny would follow the NDSU win blueprint.  Danny would look better if Tommy could complete some of the downfield passes.

With one of the projected brackets I saw (I think STATS) UND could very well end up travelling back to Vermillion if they can win a first round playoff game. I'd welcome that challenge, and would definitely rather go there that Brookings.

 I wouldn't mine that! But what I did see is that UND and USD were on the same side as SDSU. And what a surprise in most of the brackets I have seen NDSU is on the opposite side of SDSU??

biggest question i have is...............if we have zero offensive points at halftime on Saturday does Trey come out for the 2nd half?

Nope, that's next Decade type stuff.

Unfortunately, you are probably correct. I have felt Schuster is a good QB but probably not going to carry a team on his back to pull out a win. I also hadn’t felt he would lose a game for us. He did make a difference in the OT win against ISU but we shouldn’t have been in that position in the first place. I thought he played the worst game of his career against USD.  Feeney should have been given a shot against UNI. Team needed a spark. If Schuster plays in the first quarter like he did against USD, I would put Feeney in to start the second quarter.

Schuster is a like a Brad Johnson type qb to me. Checkdown Charlie. Manage the game. Keep us safe. Win most games. The problem is he isn’t the type that can put the team on his back and score a huge upset win against a better team or even a good team on the road. When the game manager stops managing the games well like against USD and UNI it’s a problem and sucks the life out of the team. I used to defend him more because his floor was so high but he’s lowered it recently and that makes me eager to see Trey in there. Tommy has done well for us no doubt, but I want more.

Don't disagree with this but if Belquist pulls down that ball in the endzone or Wes catches that ball on the last drive, things probably look at little different.
Both of those balls were put were they needed to be. Not routine catches but I'd guess both of those guys wish they had another shot at those.

Or if Tommy had the arm to make that INT a TD on that 16 play drive
