UND @ Murray State

[Sioux>Bison]

Good teams win, great teams cover. We weren’t a great team today. Offense needs to pull its head out of its arse! Need to show up in the playoffs

Lose and out. I’ve done a 180 on this in the last week. Go 0-for-the-Dakotas? Stay the hell home.  

I won’t be excited for the playoffs without a win next week, the fanbase agrees 

[The Sicatoka]

Two key players in second half:

Johnny W - pick six and strip sack

DD - key catch, recovered on side kick

SDSU is going to have its hands full with Illinois State today, so they may have their 4th conference loss going into next week.  Their QB is still out from what is being said on the broadcast.   They lose today and will have everything on the line playing us next week….

21-0 redbirds 10 mins left in 1st qrt 😬

Overall great win today. Defense looked very good against a very tough and talented Murray State team. Offense and special teams did quite well almost 50% of the time. Another win against some very stiff FCS competition.

Top teams in MVFC except SDSU and UND getting stronger as year goes on. I'll roll with that pal.

That makes sense if you don’t consider NDSU narrowly escaped last week. Our defense is getting stronger. If our offense can find their groove again we will be just fine.

I'd love to see UND offense find their groove again. If not I'll be worried in the playoffs.  No kicking game and a predictable offense spells trouble.  At 79 I don’t have many years left to wait for a deep playoff run.

What concerns me is that our OC has shown he has absolutely no capacity to learn or change.  If anything he's gotten worse over the last half of the season.  The HC needs to have words with him.

[The Sicatoka]

The OC was night and day before and after halftime.

Honestly there’s someone already on offensive staff that you could say is better qualified to run the offense than Fruechte …. he didn’t play in the Big 10 or NFL … but he won FCS national championships as an offensive assistant college coach … something Fruechte can’t claim 

I would jump on the OC IF we had a great QB.

 

We don’t. OC can call all sorts of plays but if QB has no touch, over throws short passes and under throws long passes, Coach Walsh couldn’t look good.

Well, of course we’d be better if the players were better. That’s always obvious. But for now, the QB is coached by said OC, all year, day after day. They are connected at the hip. You can’t throw the kid under the bus if the coach could be enhancing their play. 

[shep]

And I think you can’t throw the OC under the bus when the QB can’t do the job.

 

OC isn’t telling him to whistle passes at wide open receivers.

 

If I question anything it’s why the OC sticks with him though at this stage he really has no choice,

‘Though Jerry does well with his legs,  Then again we had a running QB last year,
