UND92,96 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 One thing that needs to change if UND is going to continue winning is the turnover differential. Right now, UND has seven turnovers, while the opponents have just four. It's unusual for a successful team to have a negative turnover margin. It's almost unbelievable that the Sioux have yet to recover a fumble on the season through five games! Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 Agree with you 110%. The 2001 National Championship team had a huge positive advantage in turnover margin. We have to start taking better care of the ball. And it's not just Belmore, either; the running backs and receivers have been too careless. And the defense isn't forcing the turnovers it has in the past. If we want to hang with the big boys, we will have to reverse this. Quote
Wilbur Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 My opinion on the turnovers is Belmore.....the guy throws way to many interceptions. Does anyone have a for sure time period for when Manke will be back? To have any chance against Omaha they'll need him at the helm. Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 And they say Bison fans live in the past..... At least 2001 is in the same decade AND Century. Quote
dakotadan Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 And they say Bison fans live in the past..... So UND's 2001 team won a NC. Explain to me again why we wouldn't want this years team to be living up to that same level? Quote
PCM Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 So UND's 2001 team won a NC. Explain to me again why we wouldn't want this years team to be living up to that same level? Because in .00000001 nanosecond after the Sioux won the national championship game, it would be in the past. Any UND fan who celebrated or spoke of the victory would automatically be living in the past. Do I have to explain everything around here? Quote
GeauxSioux Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Don't forget about millenium. I can't see the word millenium and not think of Newmanium. Quote
