Donovan Hunt needs to see the field much more!  

Hunt, Z, and Isaiah could be one heck of a 3 headed monster!!

Maybe the question should be:  What's wrong with Jerry?

If Jerry is so much better than Romfo and still cannot get on the field outside of a kneel down situation, why should any non-North Dakota athlete want to come here?

Or are reports of Jerry's greatness grossly exaggerated?

What does being from ND have to do with it? schuster was from Michigan and he played a few games.

And Seidl might be the best of the bunch. Not a knock against any of them. I think they are all solid and it’s great to have them all here! Hope for more games where they all find the endzone.

As a general note.. it is possible to both be excited about UND football and our current over performance of expectations and also be very concerned about Romfos throwing ability.  The way the bengals were focusing on the rushing game an above average passer would have had 400+ yds.  defense played good enough in the first half that it didn’t matter.  Would have like to have seen our backup QB.. if you aren’t putting him in in the last quarter at least in this game you aren’t ever putting him in.  I’m guessing that contributed to feeneey leaving also.. for some reason the backup qb doesn’t get any time even with a bit lead.

Let’s not forget this is his 3rd game as a starter. Coaches love his arm and accuracy. We may not have seen it yet, but it will come. The underneath passing and running will open up the deep routes. Just need to hit on them.

It appears that a plucky North Dakota kid will be favored over a talented kid from outside the region. I guess I am just trying to figure out how Romfo is the starter when he throws balls into the turf like Sean Greenwalt.

Not sure what point you’re making here?

Would you say he's shown either through 3 games? 

[gfhockey]

We spanked them like my ex wife did my monkey last night

[HoopsFan03]

We all may as well stop talking about Jerry at this point because he’s 100% gone

We’re never going to get to see him in live action for some reason

How many different players got a chance to receive beneficial playing time in the second half of the game.

Agree 100%.. the coaches see what we see.. if they had some much better option he would be out there. 
 

I am totally baffled why they don’t give Jerry time when we have a big lead though.. seems like you should want to develop the backups.

Well, I would say zero on defense since we decided to just play prevent defense for the last 35 minutes instead of mixing in personnel and continuing to attack.

For the people pleading for Jerry - first off, how you can know that Jerry is just flat out better?  And if he were, wouldn’t he be starting?  Or are our coaches so moronic that they have no idea what they’re doing?  Something just doesn’t add up.

Dang, I remember 55 years ago second/third tier and not getting a chance to play.  Made it harder to feel good about a big win.  Later when I coached, every player on the team got some playing time during the game.  

[wheelsup]

Also.. big win against a team everyone was sweating about.

letdown - nope

defense - awesome until we let off the gas

Kickoffs - better

certainly some head scratchers.. but 52-28.. I’ll take it.

I like the idea of Jerry getting reps, too, but it’s not like Romfo doesn’t need the game experience. Maybe up big in the second halves of the next two games, we’ll all get to see our popular backup quarterback. 

I agree with this, since our defense let them score on 3 straight drives....I think they kept Romfo out there....plus he obviously needs reps and practice on some of his throws. And this is coming from a guy who wanted to see plenty of Jerry in 2nd half when we were up 38-7 at half.  

I hope there is still a chance the next two games where Jerry gets more than a kneel down snap.

I didn't mean they didn't play.....they didn't play meaningful snaps when the opportunity was there.

don't rewatch it....it's ugly

C'mon man, I know you need to be negative about something in a blow out game, but Romfo made some good passes that were downfield.
