No NDSU offense works when the defense can't get any stops - and you can't give up 8+ points in the first half of a game in which your only offense only has 6 drives.
The secondary should improve - not sure what room for growth there is elsewhere - other than I can't imagine we'll do much worse on starting field position.
This team just can't afford mental mistakes. I'm glad they're going on the road for two weeks - hopefully that gets them focused.
The thing is we decided, on purpose, after we were down by 3 scores that there were only going to be 6 drives in the whole game. That is galaxy brain coaching. And it that’s the only way we’re capable of running the offense that is galaxy brain coaching as well. We’ve been running the 5 minute offense 60 minutes a game for far too long now. When’s the last time we looked anything but incompetent in the 2 minute drill. Apparently we’re so bad at it now that we don’t even try.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
