Doubters? Haters? Any questions? Business as usual!!!

Too many penalties is my only concern. That being said, NDSU outplayed ISU in just about any way you look at it.

Clock management and penalties will get cleaned up. We have good coaches. Hail the Bison!!!!

Agreed. Thought the clock management was already better by the sceond half. Clean up some of those penalties and a 4peat is looking better!

All these are fixable.

1. Clock Management. This got better as the game went on.
2. Red Zone play calling.
3. Reduce penalties.

You nailed it.

4. Not attempting 57 yard field goals.
5. Not going for 2 every time.

Fixed it for you.

I think a lesson here is to scrap the strict adherence to play clock rundowns for the first two series. Let the team get into a rhythm, then work the clock. Once they settled down, there were no more issues with the play clock. Let the guys get a feel for other parts of the game before they force control of it. Today was a great example of how forcing control while still trying to do 50 other things simultaneously doesn't work so well. A better opponent could have put more on the board in the beginning.

Yeah, definitely noticed the play clock portion in the beginning. I kept yelling at the TV, "Just get the play off, it doesn't matter if the play clock is down to 2 seconds."

That and I thought special teams had a few too many penalties. Hopefully those can be corrected soon as they could prove to be costly versus UNI or YSU.

To me, the three big questions coming into today's game were, in no particular order:

1. Defensive Line
2. Offensive Line
3. Quarterback

Check, check, and check!!!

Everyone of those groups met and I'd say even exceeded expectations today. It's going to be fun to watch this team as it improves throughout the season.
