Teams that live and die by the 3 usually die, especially when you need to win 3 games in a row to advance. You are bound to have a cold game.
My issue with Dave is that he is an average head coach, his results against better competion reflect it clearly. Every once and a while he might put together a team capable of winning the league but I don't see it happening regularly. I don't see him having high level wins and I don't see him winning an NCAA tournament game.
Now some posters here have definitely embraced only winning when the team is experienced and it seems for them just reaching the NCAA tournament suffices. Those aren't my expectations and for a program that won a NCAA tournament game not too long ago we should be striving for more.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
No S___! 2014 we had won a Big Dance game vs Okla.... had been to Big Dance 3 times in 5 years.
since then. Nothing, Zilch, Zero. Not even 1 Quality win. To FAIL this bad and to take this program that far into the dumps DOES NOT DESERVE EVEN A 1 YEAR BAND AID EXTENSION!
pathetic and dammit Matt Larsen, READ THIS AND WAKE THE HELL UP! there was 1500 actual fans a game... maybe. you get a new coach with a new vibe and new offense and new excitement and you DOUBLE or TRIPLE the attendence and you will look like a genius!! DO IT SUNDAY NIGHT!!
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
