Sure would have liked to see what would have happened with a QB change after the first two series of the game. 

I'm still stunned that Jerry played at all. Not sure how we could have been cleared.

You don’t think the defense is playing better because of “coaching decisions”….

This team / program is much above what they were with Bubba

Coaching decisions have cost us multiple games this season - When is the last time on 3rd or 4th down that throwing it long down field has worked?

[Und Princess]

It hurts to lose this game. I thought it was a AWESOME season!!! I am excited for next year!!! Hopefully we don't lose people to the portal.

I can basically guarantee they didn’t coach him to do that

Agreed - but the coaches are responsible for teaching discipline and smart play.

[Siouxperman8]

ISU red with the win

[rochsioux]

NDSU season over also.

[nodakvindy]

Coyotes might be favorite at this point. We turned around their season.

Silver lining

RPO QB read

"read"???

[rochsioux]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a shotgun kneel down to end the game. That’s what Illinois State did. 

[rochsioux]

The path to the championship was wide open for UND. Bison loss makes our loss even harder to take, was a winnable game and a very winnable bracket.

Nope. We would have lost to everyone else w our offensive ineptness.

and telling a guy to jump over the punt safety guys...come on

No one told our player to do that. His mistake was he was running toward the punter and jumped up to block the kick and landed on the blocker. That is also a penalty. It looked worse cuz blocker upended him. Still a penalty on us.
You tend to assume every mistake by a player on special teams is a coaches fault. It isn’t. Just in case you want to blame Kostich for the fake punt, he doesn’t make that call, even if he thought it would work.

I'd be on board with Josh Morton if AD change.  Experience at UND, then Mich St and now Augustana.  

Dealt with him a few times when he was at UND.  I'm a nobody in the world of donors and UND athletics and he couldn't have been better to me.

Kind of like when we roughed the punter in playoff game against Richmond.  When punt return team went on field they were told, whatever you do, don't run into the kicker.  Kid got caught in between and got penalty for hitting kicker and kept big drive alive for them.  

Sometimes kids do stuff in heat of moment, trying to make a play.

Needed to get Simon a series early.  Team rallied last week when he came in and had nothing to lose.

We can all get off the Simon train now …

Great kid and person, but let’s all move on. Bright future to look forward to.

Need a qb coach with some chops.  Gotta be willing to spend some $$$ I'd guess.

Hedberg was at UND 1996-1998 and left to take SCSU head job.  Too bad we didn't get him back when he left SIU.
