Gotta be some pro scouts in attendance watching Shelley play today.

This situation reminds me of last year when we lost that heartbreaker to the Salukis. This year it might be last week's game. It was pretty ugly after that game last year although we did knock off ISUr late in the season.

If it did this Mo State game stomped. kicked and beat the hell out of the team spirit. I just feel bad for the kids.

I didn't get a chance to watch it just saw the current score, did we do anything positive after we got off the bus? Too many turn overs on offense? Did Mo st run all over us or throw with ease?

Why hasn’t Dobbins played more for us this season? Has he been hurt? He’s listed as a Jr and before coming to us he did pretty well at Temple. Hoping he comes back next year

Bruno is listed at 5'10" so he may be a little shorter than that. Average NFL QB height is 6'3". When you are short and have to look through the OL and DL guys to find a receiver, most of the time you are simply throwing to an area where the receiver is assumed to be in his route. This was very noticeable today with the high camera angles at MSU stadium. Bruno and receivers were not on the same sheet of music several times. I dont know what the solution is. But if you can't run the ball with some consistency, QB is nothing but a sitting duck back there IMHO.

That's how you respond after a heart breaker... Coach has lost the team.

Interesting that macomb playoff game next Saturday will be at 3 in macomb so i'm guessing the NDSU game will have a very small crowd.

Screw reviewing any film from this one. Instead, I would show the 2016 game at Hanson against the Bison. Probably the best game I have seen in person at home even though we ended up losing 21-13. Held them scoreless in the 2nd half and we were in it til the end.

BTW, I was behind the north end zone watching most of this one. Got a good look at the arm of Wentz from there and came away most impressed.

Ooops, after futher review, that game was in 2014 and we lost it 17-10 but also in it to the end. They came in ranked #1 and we were winless (0-2) in conference.

"thats how you respond after a heart breaker" -- what did I miss? Who said what? Please elaborate
"Coach has lost the team" -- couldn't agree more!
