I hate blaming refs but Jerry spent lots of passes behind his receivers

17 for 40 isn't going to win a lot of games.  FBS average completion percentage is 60-65%.

60% on 40 attempts is 24 completions.  7 more completions and it's game over.

Should have been several "game overs" in spite of the low completion percentage.

This one really hurts.

Really hurts is right.  
what we saw with Jerry is a qb playing his second high level game.  Didn’t seem to easily find the underneath, middle of the field receivers or blew their doors off with high fastballs.  Better with the long ball.  Too bad he didn’t get meaningful reps last year. He’d be so much farther ahead. 
Also need to see more Ziebarth. Especially when trying to run out the game.

Today I learned that in NCAA fb, if you spike the ball with less than 3 seconds on clock the half will run out.

Well damn I’m just learning that now. That makes a lot more sense. BS rule, imo.

Notre dame pulls a UND, loses by 1 on a botched extra point 

[UND Football Fan]

Well we were not the only one to lose or not got to OT because of EP or short FG. Tennessee missed chip shot FG and Notre Dame missed extra point. 

[andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!!]

I cannot believe that my other team, Notre Dame, just lost in part due to a missed extra point.  What a Saturday...

Great game today. For a good chunk of the game this felt like old UND football, being able to rely on the defense to get stops. Turns out our d line is not going to be a liability and that should make any game we play the rest of the season winnable.  Jerry didn't have his best game but I think he'll do nothing but get better the rest of the season. I think we took too many deep shots and in the second half.  i would have liked to have seen us run the ball a little more, especially  Z.  I wonder if that's Jerry Autumn bullying into the deep throw when he sees single coverage with out a safety over the top? We were having some stretches where we were getting chunk yards on the ground on consecutive plays and and regardless of the potential to complete a big pass play, in a game like this, I think we would have been better off keeping the ball on the ground 

I'd like to see the formation where thetight end was covered... That penalty hurt.

Future's bright at UND though!

For being the No. 5 team in country Montana didn’t look great. FCS feels very watered down this season. Besides NDSU SDSU MONT ST who else is actually "good"

Tarleton might be pretty good this year

[Kab]

Ndsu hasn’t played anyone good yet

sdsu didn’t blow drake out

mont state beat San Diego bad 

UND has had the toughest schedule of anyone and can’t hold a lead the last 4 minutes , Eric, get that fixed

Why

[Wilbur]

So I was today old when I learned the 3 second spike the ball rule in college.  

That being said we didn't have any timeouts and we throw it short with a chance to maybe get 3?

So I owe Jerry an apology, and likewise he owes me one in return for the previous play.

OC, DC, and ST Coordinators again show their true colors. The HC/DC spent past year taking credit for the previous administration and UND supporters upgrading facilities, recruits etc. Had a good opportunity to come out on top but continued 24 years of mediocrity but hey you beat Portland State. The FCS is terrible right now my goodness maybe take care of business. The process doesn’t matter if you don’t win. Last year at least Montana was a gritty win.

I am beginning to question Fruechte as offensive coordinator. The play calling is very strange.

Agreed.

[LeaveNoDoubt]

Play calling all over the place. Got complacent in the second half. Z was running hard and getting yards up the middle but we continued to try give our speedy back looks between the tackles.

Has anybody confirmed there is a rule? I’ve looked around and can’t find one. Seems like a lot more concern that the spike might not complete in 3 seconds than an actual rule.  I’m reasonable confident that I have seen teams spike the ball in that situation. 
 

regardless.. tough way to end a half

[gfhockey]

I’ve never seen the officials job a team before like that

this is what I found on the spike rule 3-2-5

It’s year one guys. Chill and respect the process. We’re way ahead at this point.

I mean, look who we lost to! A ranked FBS and a winning (big time) FCS team. Seriously guys, give Eric a little time.
