2025 UND football

[F'n Hawks]

This has been huge for us so far this year.

[UND Football Fan]

One thing I like to point out was during the last several years we tried to control clock and be more methodical on offense, especially against teams that were considered “better” than us so our defense does not get exploited. This squad with improved defense is allowed to be more aggressive on offense and if we go 3 or 4 series without a score it’s not catastrophic to team morale. It’s fun being a fan with the a team that has the hunter mentality.

this is allowed, but yours wasnt.  NCAA is a joke.

Flip it and reverse it as a DEI representation issue

Agreed! Let’s all help build the momentum and spread the word:

I’ll be really curious to see how we do against South Dakota on the road. I think the road woes will be officially behind us if we win that one.

Interested how they do against ISU-R next week. They are winning, but are barely beating really bad teams. Definitely a below average MVFC team.

Correct.. for all the hate romfo gets from a few.. offense wasn’t even close to the biggest problem last year.. defense was a dumpster fire.  While I still believe Jerry or feeney would have been better last year.  The improvement in defense and Eric schmidt is what has made this team a top 10 team

I’m sure it will come out tomorrow. Arm was in sling so that tells me shoulder dislocated or broken collar bone.

How he landed my gut tells me broken collar bone.  Because that is a season ending (3-6 mo. healing) shoulder injury. I heard nothing about training staff popping his shoulder place.

Your definition of “barely beating” is different than mine.  I would say they’ve thoroughly dismantled Portland State and Valparaiso.

One team has an above average defense and a QB who has elevated his teammates around him, and who isn't 5'9" on a good day.

Nielsen’s first title was first year after Bubba, they were with Bubba’s players I believe, Nielsen’s 3rd year he won, that one I would think with less. Bubba coached Duluth 2004-2007. Duluth’s titles were 2008 and 2010.
