I do. I was just pointing out this little play https://youtu.be/PaYLCColxh4?t=603
I guarantee they'll get better. Whether their "better" is good enough to get NDSU back to the top remains to be seen. Both Entz and Roehl are in their respective positions for the first time in their coaching careers and I'd bet both would say they're better than they were 4 years ago but nothing makes you get better like failing. The remarkable thing about this NDSU program for the last 10 years is it continued to get better despite rarely failing. There was a lot of fortunate timing to that too IMO. Just look at everyone's favorite Bison OC Courtney Messingham. He was ran out as Iowa St OC a few years before he was here and ran out as K-State OC a few years after he left. Hell, it took ol' Stiggy 30 years to finally figure it out (and get that fortunate timing on his side).
No one knows the blue print for success at NDSU any better than Entz and Roehl right now - I'd say they have as good of a shot as anyone willing to coach in their respective positions at NDSU of figuring it out again and they deserve that opportunity.
There's also no guarantee SDSU will be the top dog next year. Only five schools have won two or more championships in a row to combine for 14 repeat champions. Six of those repeat champions are NDSU with GSU being the only other team with more than two.
It's OK to not be OK.
