    It wasn't like they ran power three times in a row.
    If thats the case then im wrong on the play calling part of it. I just remember watching it thinking...they are planning on kicking a fg on 4th down. Not getting a new set of downs after 3rd. And it wasnt the closest of fg. So why give the other team the ball if you miss it.
    I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.

    Well they did run it on 3rd and fairly long, so that's maybe where that feeling came from. I watched the field goal and it was definitely a makeable distance and that would have won the game, he just didn't hit it well. But the drive did flip the field, use up most of the time and all of their timeouts so I was pretty happy with the outcome. If the 2nd down QB run would have been a little more successful I think we would have been in great shape.

    Play calling on the series up to the missed fg was imho spot on given the game situation. Only call that made me scratch my head was a play earlier on with both Crockett and Bonnet on deep fly routes, that was a little weird.

    Zero wide receivers on the field for that one.
    Pretty sure I've never seen that at NDSU before.

    Although again, if they throw on that 3rd down and don't get it they leave CC with a TO.

    Ryan Smith and Bryan Shepherd have been sorely missed this year on special teams. Not sure why punt returners CJ and Christian are staying next to the ball when they don't fair catch or catch the ball and return it. They need to just get away from the ball.

    I'm betting on some personnel changes this week. Lots of time for better players to heal up from bumps and bruises if we win, and even more if we lose. We need to go all in the next two games.
