I hate to be that guy complaining about play calling on O, but man alive, these past 4-5 games, especially this latest one were all absolutely atrocious...like parody laughable. I legitimately dont think I could have done a better job at being bad if I was trying at least in the SDSU game. 

1st and goal calls

4th down calls

Predictable patterns of the same play calls especially when UND loses momentum. 

Avoiding the calls that are working, and overloading on calls that are clearly not working. 

 

Has this been strange and frustrating to anyone else? It's one thing when things just arent going well and it is easy just to blame the play calling but this isnt what I'm talking about. Out of touch timing, out of place shots, poor clock management, and low energy low confidence calls that were there the entire first half of the year. Never trying similar plays to what clearly was working...Did the OC have a stroke last saturday or what is going on?

Spot on, and I think our poor QB play was a reflection of his play calling at times.  I'll be interested to see what the game plan is Saturday.  We can't go status quo or 7-6 it is.

UND has every reason to win this game. But until both the coaches and players start showing some killer instincts I’m worried they’ll allow it to be a close game…and we all know how UND handles close games…

SDSU lost to Indiana State.  Transitive comparisons generally don't hold up in football.

Yup. S Dak took  overtime to get by N Col, only won by 5 vs Ind St, and just  beat N Iowa by 3.  We handled the latter two teams easily. We then lost to S Dak.

[Hawkster]

We win 34-24.  Jerry and Deng Deng romp

Should put a charter together like the Florence alavama  days. Fly in fly out 

I drove….stopped on the way down but rotated drives and straight thru on the way home!

[Mama Sue]

I want:

1. a win.

2. no injuries.

3. no offsides, facemasks, or roughing calls on us.

4. absolutely no targeting on us.

5. minimum of one QB sack per quarter.

6. at least two TFL per quarter.

I added the penalties for this game. Have not been posting much but have listened to the games.

Go Sioux!

Was there ever an injury update on whos out and whos playing this week?

I like to call it my WTFAWD*  quotient. The first half of the year it was once or twice a game, the last 5 games or so it has been 7 to 9 times a game.

* what the fu&* are we doing.

We chartered in to the dry county. Had to rent a car drive to next county over to buy booze before the game as they wouldn’t let us take it off the air plane

Not sure what to think of this game. Tech played a bunch of cupcakes all year but did what they should have….beat the hell out of the opposition.  Zero losses in the fcs with Kentucky (SEC) as their only loss 

Und hasn't played up to playoff standards the last 4 games (1-3)….namely offense.  New leaf tomorrow or same ol same ol ? 
 

Is Flemings playing ?  If not ….that hurts an offense that is not playing well already.  

Tech was a top 8 team most of the year.  They ended up a 13 seed.  Total disrespect shown their way.  That might give them more ammunition to prove the doubters.   I’m sure tech was expecting a bye this week when they tuned into the show on Sunday. 
 

They have speed at skilled positions .  UND has lost their top two CBs for the year.  Will that be factor? 
 

Mvfc isn’t built with “speed” teams.  Und hasnt faced a team built with speed/ finesse yet this year just power style teams. Might take und awhile to adjust ? 
 

Und is not in GF and well….unds road history is a topic most want to forget about 
 

Tech is not a power team…und shouldn’t  be exposed up the gaps like they were last week. Contain the outside 

Will Coach have confidence in using his kicker? 
 

With their speed …kickoffs will be interesting. 

If I witness anymore of that ridiculous play where Jerry follows sawyers “blocks” up the middle I will destroy my TV 

 If und truly has a top notch OL they should absolutely control the line of scrimmage.  Und should be able to pound the rock all day.  It will be along day if und can’t move these guys around up front 

Und needs to slow the game down and burn every second of the play clock and keep techs offense on the sidelines

Mvfc doesn’t have any teams that have speed like these guys so und might be caught off guard initially.

I have confidence we will win this game. I think we are the better team and we will do this. 

[UND Football Fan]

Well, just finished consulting the Oracle at Delphi. The Pythia said, “the offense must play to win or a depleted secondary may get exploited”

 

I take that as we better start fast and score TD’s or we will have another close loss.

We need to start finishing drives and not even have to trot the kicker out there.

Still time to get your Christmas bonus. Lay the point.

A win today would go such a long ways for the program. 

[forksandspoons]

Let’s go!! Brand new season. Run the ball!

[Oxbow6]

Fruechte can't go full on LeFluer and run it off tackle repeatedly to the tune of 2.2 YPC...especially on 3rd down and 3 or 4.
