San Diego beat Cal Poly for what it’s worth. They’ll be fresh off a bye. 
 

Hopefully UND has a great week of practice and takes another step forward as a team. 

Not impressive, unless Joe Protheroe was playing. Greatest FB ever ... should have won the Heisman ... got robbed!

All seriousness, I don't see this as any different than playing against Idaho St. You want to be a top 10 of maybe even top 5 team, you don't just win this game, you win by multiple scores. No disrespect to San Diego, this isn't about them as a team, it is about where we need to be as a team.

Let’s keep it going 

hopefully our qb can continue to get better and we don’t have a let down. These are the games we need to win.

Tell the boys the game is at 12:45, so they actually start playing on time. Let's win the first series this week!

San Diego has 3 defensive TD's this year (2 against Poly). This will be their first road game of the year. Preseason 5th in the Coaches poll, coming off a 4-7 record last year. This should not be close. #1 thing I'll be looking for is Romfo improving each week. Starting with cleaning up the handful of easy throws he misses each week. Keep building and stay healthy!

HA HA!!

3 interceptions(2 pick-sixes) by Cal Poly.......somewhere at the end of a bar sits a fullback that used to pound the rock 48 times for 84 yards per game.  Long Live Smok'n Joe Protheroe!!

SAN DIEGO – Cal Poly's defense returned a fumble for a touchdown and allowed just 13 points, but three interceptions by the Mustangs offense, including two pick-sixes, resulted in the Mustangs falling in their season opener to San Diego Saturday, 27-21.

San Diego appears to have quite a few grad students and seniors leading the way. Definitely a team with experience. They held Cal Poly to 8 rushing yards on 18 attempts. UND is a young team and needs to be well prepared. It most likely won't be the ISU game again as sometimes things snowball on teams (38-0). 

QB - Grad student

Top 3 RBs - Grad students

WR1 - Senior 

WR2 - Junior 

WR3 - Senior 

Top 2 TEs - Junior and Senior 

OL - Junior, Junior, Grad, Junior, Senior 

Top 10 tacklers, in order -Senior, Grad, Senior, Junior, Grad, Senior, Grad, Soph, Senior, Senior

Last season - 

UND 55-7 over Drake

Jacks 70-7 over Drake

NDSU 66-3 over Drake

Drake over San Diego..........25-20.

This game is about us playing at our level.

Let’s see what the leadership (coaches and players) comes up with … the level of intensity and focus we see on Saturday will be telling for the rest of the season. If the majority of the players think they can take this week off, and that won’t bode well for the rest of the season, namely the road games.

Last season doesn't mean anything.  They have a bunch of upper classmen.  Don't take them lightly.

“Don’t take them lightly”” narrative is a bunch of sandbagging B.S. to be frank. 
 

I prefer the confident approach (which hasn’t been at UND for the past couple decades) which means you put them down early and step on them when they’re down. The “don’t take them lightly” by our coaching staff has led to the UND teams of the past decade playing down to their opponents level often (just look at the history of performances over the last 10 + seasons). Last week was somewhat encouraging, but need to see consistency with that. If UND can’t put together a complete game vs a non-scholly pioneer league school, then that should be rightfully concerning and an indictment on the preparation and execution …

Poly with 8 rushing yards on 18 attempts against them.  Thats not going to get it done.  Pound it down their throats, use the play action to hit some bigger plays if they put more bodies in the box.  I'm expecting the Law Firm of Seidl, Ziebarth, and Smith to have big time games Saturday.

Hawks 45

San Diego 17
