I get it, but they haven't even played a game under the new coaching staff...

ndac went in there with 1 qb...probably not any trick plays and ran it down their throat....

why isn't that our mentality?

Who says it's not the mentality? The game hasn't even been played yet and you're already asking why we didn't do something? Also, if we're planning to just run it down their throat then why does the QB situation even matter? This is truly getting bizarre my man...what are we even talking about right now 

 

And this is coming from a pessimistic frustrated fan. But I can at least say I complain about real things that have really happened

I agree with you @SIOUXFAN97 I don't like sparky posts. I like being informative and share facts. I'm excited to see who takes qb1

Or maybe there will be special packages for JTJ, just a thought.

I hate to break it to you, but we ain't ndac. The truth hurts! We all want that, we could certainly get there, but we're not them. Wanting it isn't enough. The admin has taken the right steps. Facilities, coaching change, you can see recruiting improving, but the whole process takes time. Yes, you can argue 20 years is time ... but I'm talking time with the new staff. 

A loss this weekend doesn't deter what I think of this team potential (depending on how they play). A win this weekend, gives me hope for this team's potential, but far from crowns us as national champs or even MVFC champs. In other words, I think we need to settle down a bit, regardless of how our first-year coach does against a B12 program while he is trying to build us up. Anything else is a major overreaction. 

You also have to compare the opponents. I have no idea how K State did that year, and I really don't care. I watched a bit of the game this past weekend, and while they had some miscues, they are still going to be very tough and very physical. Watch out for Osunsami! He looked fast and physical! O line better be up to the job or we may see more than one QB for the wrong reasons. Avery Johnson, didn't look the part early, but still finished with almost 300 yards passing, 2 TDs and a rushing TD to boot. My point being that the product of this game comes down to far more than whomever is under center for UND.

I do agree with you that we need to be able to run it down their throat (who says that isn't the coach's mentality?), which will not be easy. They did a good job of stopping ISU early but couldn't do it all game. O-Line will need to get some push, and we need Ziebarth to be ready for a battle as he is our physical back. Then you hope we can open some holes for Seidl and Leigh to break through. If Langama is ready to go and can do some damage, get him some reps.

This is where I am at. This team will go through some growing pains early on. But I also think they'll get better and better as the season progresses. In a couple of years, I think Schmidt will have us to the point where we are contending for MVFC titles and high playoff seeds.

... and I'm hoping it won't even take a few years! but realistically, it could to get the right pieces in place. There is not magical solution to flip the switch, or we would go back and have transitioned to D1 at the same time as SU. Monumental mistake by UND, but its over and done. Lets see what Schmitty can do!

I also think Schmidt won't hesitate to pull veterans who aren't getting the job done and replace them with underclassmen. No keeping your job because you put in your time in the program. Performance and results will matter again.

I think our days of crapping the bed on the road and underachieving vs. bad teams at home are over. If we lose, it will because the team we are playing is better than us, not because we just didn't show up.

1qb....run the ball.

Only call out here, is you are also referencing 4 guys who are in the NFL. Whole heartedly agree with running the ball, but these guys also do way more than just handing it off.

Agreed on all fronts ... the FCS landscape should make it possible for quicker turnarounds if the right guy in charges know how to put the pieces together. I think Schmidt is better equipped to do this compared to Bubba. He has been with bigger programs that know how to win and can bring some of that mentality.

I also think that with that fresh mentality should come some more success on the road. That doesn't mean we are going to be winning at the Fargo Dome or The Dyke every year, but we should see more success in some of those games that we seem to lose that leave us scratching our heads. Youngstown, Indiana St, Illinois St., UNI, USD .... and yeah, it is time to get a win IN Fargo.

Are you willing to give the new staff more than 9 months with no games played yet?  They’ve had great recruiting success for 2026 but none of those kids will be on campus for a year.  It will take more time, unfortunately.  
Wishing for us to have a qb that knocked everybody’s doors off in spring and fall camp won’t make it happen.

You guys can down vote me to hell but I said Jerry was QB one form my source I was right. Also if Jerry shits the bed JTJ will get a chance. Its simple as that you don't transfer guys in and have them sit on the bench.
