i posted this bc nothing has changed....ST cost us a game v montana and imo cost us this game...more than jerry or ss did...when you essentially spot a team 9 points to start a game your playing catchup the whole rest of the game....

 

Forgetting undisciplined play with terrible penalties.  
 

Disappointing game on all three phases.

This is NOT Bubba Ball anymore. One bad game on the road does not mean we are back to Bubba Ball. SMH

I've got nothing. What a wasted opportunity. We could be sitting top 4 right now. Pathetic effort. Terrible play. Poor coaching and play calling. All out disaster against the Yotes.

Anyone who thought Eric Schmidt's first season would go smoothly without any bumps in the road was delusional.

He is working with mainly Bubba's leftovers and the team is already much improved.

Once he gets a couple of recruiting classes on the field, I think we'll be Top 10 nationally, if not higher.

Agreed, just disappointing that had the be the bump in the road and at that time. So many upsets this weekend, it would have been a prime opportunity to move up.

I don't disagree at all. Saturday was very frustrating. But we have to remember that this is a process. So far, I like what Schmidt is doing.

This is true, ya it sucks lost to USD but I think back at beginning of yr we would all be happy to be sitting where we are rt now.  And then probably thinking not having real good chances against both xdsus in reality. But now I think most believe we actually have a very good chance to beat at least 1 and decent chance of getting both if we play to our capabilities.

I think SDSU is very poachable this year, especially since we have them at home. NDSU will be much tougher, but being at home gives us a decent chance.

I could agree with this if it was a talent issue, but they were not ready to play on Saturday and that is concerning.

Overall happy with what Schmidt has done, but they took a big step back on Saturday.

Maybe that loss refocuses them.

Also concerning that in all 3 losses we had the ball with a chance to go down the field and win the game and were unable to do that.  Will need to do make plays at the end of the game in the playoffs or the season will be done.

Have we ever played well in the Dakota Dome? It seems like we struggle to win down there more often than not.

Edit: Our last road win vs. USD was in 2008.

Bubba didn't leave the cupboard bare like Mussman did, but it isn't top notch FCS talent either. Schmidt is getting the best out of what he has to work with.

I think Schmidt will bring in top notch FCS talent, but you won't see those kids on the field for a couple more years.

Think the Dakota Dome struggles are overblown.  Rarely have we been the better team going down there.  2 years we played horrible everywhere after the NDSU win.  Last Win was in 2008, but being the he Big Sky while they were in the MVFC we didn't play them as much.

Agree, to have 1st down and mid field and go 0-4 is not good. Actually need to get at least something on the first 3 downs so its not 4th and 10. Even a 4 yard completion on 2nd down makes it 4th and 6th and a lot more options. 

Red zone and the two minute offense (particularly in situations where you cant run the ball because no timeouts) need improvement.

As the old saying goes: Offense, Defense, Special Teams, win two out of three and you will probably win the game. 

IMO: Offense - we scored 21 they scored 17 - wash

Defense: we held them to 17, they scored 7 on us - wash

Special teams: They scored 2 points on us, had a couple of great returns that shortened their field. Them

This game was a fluke and it was still in our grasp.
