Incompetence 

BJ needs to play the most but maybe rotate Deng and Nate? It seems pretty simple to me. Guy has been playing well and was a huge reason we won last week. Get him the damn ball.

Couldn’t have played worse and only down six. Defense could win it with a pick six

This is a winnable game. Somehow Isaac needs to prove he deserves to keep his job. Same for Jerry. Same for our WRs. Same for the OL. Same for the RBs. They better come out of the locker room with a major chip on their shoulder. We’re all embarrassed watching them.

Every team is selling out for the run. Our RBs can’t do anything about that.

Doesn't help when Jerry's primary target is wearing purple.

Pull Jerry.

Probably not happening unless an injury or game is out of hand. He does have an 11 yard scoring drive, so there’s that.

But, we have our infamous 3rd Q letdown coming!

Substituted the 3rd quarter for the awful 1st quarter.

Right now Jerry can't even do easy

but those are the easy ones...get em going...

Offensive ineptitude is a major trend at this point …

Folks can argue about the root cause, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE

100%! You’re spot on! Get Deng the damn ball! He’s a NFL WR

Very winnable.  The D is elite.  Holding Tarleton way under their average .   The offense is just an absolute mess.  Wouldn’t a coaching staff usually see after a month and a half that it just isn’t working and try and change something  ANYTHING ??

Like using the TEs?  The TEs were an integral part of the offense early on in the season .

At the moment he’s not. But if we got him the damn ball he certainly has the potential to be. So get him the damn ball

[ND-fan]

The success for the offense is still in quarterback even if oc calls play quarterback also needs to read defense to audible or go to alternative. All this plays to other parts offense the line, receivers running backs, we saw last week what audible did for us in both our passing game game became blowout same thing happening now. Schmidt doesn’t want to put doubt on quarterback but he maybe giving chance to really move on. Bubba did same thing when we played Richmond gave away game never ever recovered from that. This could be future determining our tenure under Schmidt on how we respond and adjust to the game we’re in. I’m afraid Schmidt going maintaining course.

[UNDhoops]

This game is very winnable. If our offense shows a pulse we should win this one. 

[LH Golfer]

Not a great fb mind. But wouldn't 4 wide outs take the inside pressure off? Is that even doable?

[Siouxperbb32]

Hopefully Rucker isnt out. We definitely need him in

[Siouxperman8]

Rucker got leg whipped by OL early in play he got hurt on.  He kept going but then stayed down after play.

Maybe were looking at this thigh which is where the guy got him. 

[Parkers Pros]

We gotta hope that Rucker can come back.  

[UND Football Fan]

My only guess is Deng played less because of his blocking on the perimeter. But we need play makers on the field in BIG games. Shows how special Bo was. 
 

As an old O-line guy, the line better start figuring things out and play with an edge.

Schmidt in over his head right now.

Stop. We are already ahead of schedule. The fake punt was really bad though

You are showing concussion like symptoms, you should get that checked
