Would be really annoyed to have every team apply these standards to "discount" their losses.
JMU out played us and out coached us in that game. Plain and simple.

JMU was a complete team that year, top to bottom. Definitely earned that win in Fargo and the Championship that year.

I think it would have been a good game regardless and the Bison could have lost either way, but we had some pretty key injuries that did not help us out at all. Again, not taking anything away from JMU that year, totally agree, they earned it.
Re: UND Post-Game Thoughts/Discussion
Interesting to see Brooks and Johnson running between the tackles so much given their size. Maybe they are just giving MVFC coaches something to think about.
We really don't have a big back on the roster. Is Clark the biggest guy? What's he weigh? 210? Seems like Anderson and Dunn were both between 210 and 220, weren't they?
Lance is a really special athlete. Throws a great deep ball too. Hope he can stay healthy... will be some bigger hitters in conference play.
Thought the OL had some issues at times with calls at the line. Seems like a couple of times the UND D disguised a couple of things and managed to get some penetration and disrupt. Wasn't as much of an issue at the end of the game (per typical Bison MO).
Is this the most talented tight-end group we've ever had? Plug and play.
Love beating the Sioux, Delaware will be a different animal.
Re: UND Post-Game Thoughts/Discussion
That 3-4 is designed to give the O line fits and make their heads spin. For early in the year I thought we did quite well against it. Room to improve but we passed the test.

I saw plenty of yards gained between the tackles. I'm not sure where all this talk about NDSU getting stuffed up the middle is coming from.

Matt Entz is soft. He is allergic to scoring points and playing tough.( all purple )

This. Key injuries is an understatement. Nick Deluca and Nate Tanquay……..two defensive stalwarts that, according to Izzo's preseason assessment, the Bison could ill afford to lose didn't play in the semis against JMU.
Re: UND Post-Game Thoughts/Discussion
My biggest concern right now is lack of pass rush. It's not terrible but it's not championship level at all yet.
If you're a student of history, remember that we have had a lousy pass rush to start off championship seasons before. Goeser knows what it takes, lets see if the other coaches and players step it up.
Re: UND Post-Game Thoughts/Discussion
In that JMU game we got down 17-0 because we couldn't handle that beast of
a running back. We tie it up at 17-17 early in the fourth quarter and Grimsley
gets a pick on about their 45. We have all the momentum and then the genius
OC Polasek goes to work. We get shit for yardage with his end sweeps, try a field
goal and give them all the field position they need and the final 10 points. All on the OC.
