If UND can run for 200+ they win. If not and have to try to throw for 200+ they got no shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Very scary situation (leaving the state for the first time in 8 weeks) for a team that consistently can’t play good football on the road …. What are the chances Bubba spontaneously learns new football coaching tactics on week 9 of his 11th season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't really heard any complaining anywhere so I'm guessing they got the call right, but I would have loved to see the replay that showed it. Maybe they had it where two different views were synced, if you had the view showing when his knee hit with the other angle showing where the ball was that would show it. I honestly do think he was probably just short, but yeah nothing conclusive at all on the replays shown on Midco. But if they had a synced view that may have shown them enough to overturn it.

MoSiouxFan Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I don't know if it's correct or not, but the ESPN schedule for Saturday now shows that our game is on ESPN+. UND's website still just shows Midco Sports 2. I hope that ESPN is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 Bubba's team are historically bad on the road. First game outside of ND in 8 weeks. Don't even care about the spread....just want the money line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be on both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even care about the spread....just want the money line. We certainly aren't good on the road. I don't think staying in state and playing at SU is any kind of advantage over going on road vs most other teams on schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND Football Fan Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Having a strong D helps a lot to win road games. Our Big Sky champion team had a fairly solid D and finished 9-2, unfortunately we crapped the bed in the 2nd half in the playoffs. Since then the defense started to get worse, coincidentally so has our road record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Green Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 That Vaughn draw play is the kind of play that this board would go nuts if he doesn't make it in the End zone. If he doesn't get in the half is over and we go into the half with only a 7 pt lead. The kind of call that is dumb if it doesn't work and brilliant if it works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have had some sort of plan with two DL in front of him, must have thought they would need to clear out more bodies than normal? But when the DE's get around the corners as fast as they did while Q is looking where to go, it is a bit of a calculated risk that almost blew up. Assuming there was a reason they went away from the tried and true that pretty much works every time but no clue what that might be. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like over thinking to me. “You know that thing we do that literally never fails? Let’s change that up.” Now I’m not opposed to using those big bodies when we don’t have the Q under center push for the 1-2 yards we need but for now it’s just not necessary. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
