North Dakota State GDT

Re: North Dakota State GDT

1st INT- I give that one up to good defense, I know that play and TOB ran it perfect, just the D-end seemed to be in the huddle and sniffed it out perfect.

2nd INT- kinda forced it, probably stared down the receiver a little too much, but give the Bison guy some credit he made a great move, and if he's .5 seconds later its a large gain if not a TD

3rd INT- bad decision, I think TOB though he could get it out of bounce and just didn't put enough on it.

4th INT- forced it too much, but we were down, had no running game and I can't blame him for trying to make a play.

As far as Sumner, I've talked to players and off the record they'll say Sumner isn't nearly as good as TOB. That can change but they said you would see that if you were at the practices that it isn't that close. And that is saying a lot considering generally on a struggling football team the back up is the most popular guy in town.

I'll say people can blame this one on TOB, but the turning point was Minnett wasn't able to continue, Duffy just isn't Minnett and when you drop 7-8 back into coverage the game gets a lot harder.

Re: North Dakota State GDT

Yep INTs are part of the game. Interesting that INTs were important in this game two years in a row.

Enjoy the year with the Marker. It will be back home in Brookings for an extened stay next year.

Re: North Dakota State GDT

Yes the Bison aren't beating the Jacks. The Jacks are beating themselves.

Turnovers are part of the game.

Bison defense is much improved over last year.

Marker is back where it belongs....

Re: North Dakota State GDT

I promise you he will be starting the next 2 years, so just get over it!

If TOB is given the job the next 2 years, I'm not convinced Austin will stick around. However, I think he'll get a legitimate shot next year. TOB has shown no improvement in my opinion. Consistency is improvement. Not 4 picks against your rival staring down your receiver on every stinkin throw.

I think Austin wins the job next year and fulfills the leadership role at QB that our team needs. I'll take a crap year with Austin over another crap year with TOB.

Re: North Dakota State GDT

How are you so sure that Sumner won't beat him out next year??

Re: North Dakota State GDT

This is great learning for TOB. He's the QB of the future and will do great things for us in from this week forward. He totally sucked today, but it's those games where you learn the most. Learning is painful sometimes, but that gives the best knowledge.

Danger is right on... It's unfortunate what happened today, but TOB has 2 years left to show us what he can do. These first two seasons have been difficult at times, but I promise you he will be starting the next 2 years, so just get over it!

Re: North Dakota State GDT

I wonder if we burned a scholarship on him?

As confident as TV sounded that he would not be a factor next year,it could be possible that he may choose not to return.

Yes maybe, but thats the breaks.

Re: North Dakota State GDT

I suspect Jordan Thomas showed something on video and had good numbers, suffienct to take a chance on him. Even at the JUCO level you don't know what you are getting. At least he has not nabbed with a kilo of weed like the one JUCO we had a few years back.

Re: North Dakota State GDT

Jordan must have absolutely no chance of contributing as backup QB. TV said on the live chat that if we needed an emergency QB that it would be Sumner and that Jordan would not be a factor next year. He has to be bad to be willing to burn Sumner's red-shirt at this point of the season.

Re: North Dakota State GDT

Well, let's beat UND next week and end a sub-par season on a positive note. The Jacks are not far away from being a very good team.

I just hope Kyle can go next week. It would be sad to see him on the sideline.

UND blows. There's no reason it should be a close game.
