UND @ South Dakota 11/11/2023

[siouxfan512]

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

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

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

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

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...

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.

 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??
