UND @ Iowa State 8/31/24

[Oxbow6]

11-17 for 80 yards

[HoopsFan03]

Why let the time run out???

[SIOUXFAN97]

Qb draw then long fg attempt... Guess not

[nodakvindy]

Wish we'd taken the last TO and at least thrown one into the end zone on 4th. Not much risk in that. 

[F'n Hawks]

LT got beat badly there

[ChrisUND1]

Did they not have a timeout there?  TV said they did.  If they did, WOW.

Day by day

Still a 2 possession game. But ISU offense can't be allowed to race down the field like it's a 7 on 7 passing drill.

Absolutely bizarre.  How can any coach not go for a Hail Mary? Did they not actually have a timeout?

[SuhakiYeahYeah]

Always gotta be something that kills the optimism in these games.

[SIOUXFAN97]

You can't make this crap up....wtf

[UND-FB-FAN]

Bubba ball. Punt from the 38 and go to half with a spare timeout you’ll never get back. Good job Bubba ... 

[ChrisUND1]

If they took that timeout to halftime, it’s something I’ve never seen in a college game before.

Putting the ball in the endzone wouldn't have cost us anything.

I loved our offense there and taking what you can get. However at some point you have to be able to complete a pass more than 10 yards down field. 

How is it that they had a WR wide open down the middle in the red zone without a defender within 5 yards. We can't get that the entire game anywhere on the field when we are on offense.

Just when I was thinking defense was about to turn the corner that TD drive happened. O-line is scrapping and good with run, but lack of experience showed on obvious pass situation because of the 3 man rush brought extreme pressure before half. Out D-line needs to be bullies like that on obvious passing situations.

FG drive I just wish Romfo would have thrown it out of bounds. (Lack of experience, need to fight another play) If it wasn’t for the sack we may have gotten the first, worked off more clock and got a TD. 
 

2nd half, we will see how our offense adjusts. Defense we need to find ways to get them uncomfortable and throw off their timing.

Over 22 min TOP

We brought the house on that last one.

We also don’t have a receiver that can create that kind of space

So far all of the hallmarks of a Bubba team - some really good play but hampered by poor special teams, a porous defense, and horrible game management.

I would summarize your entire statement with just this: UND’s defense is bad. Iowa State covers UND’s receivers, UND defense does not cover Iowa State’s receivers.
 

With all this said, I love what UND’s offense is doing. defense and special teams needs to step it up.

Agreed.

[Oxbow6]

Offensive schemes look similar to Danny's. 5 yards per pass attempt. I've seen this movie before.....

Agree.  Some very odd calls or situations that go awry that you feel an FCS staff should be able to handle.

They’re protecting the ball and focusing on ground game … so far a bit more than Freund’s offenses did. But a lot of season left.
