Real-time, yup bad PI. Second look... nope, that was offensive PI if anything

Yeah - defender has every right to the ball and our guy had position and was facing the ball. The receiver was not. Plus it was the receiver initiating all the contact. Flag was still thrown on us anyway.

Well....1 of 3 ways to take this.

1........ND is better than advertised
2........just another typical Matt Campbell Saturday in September
3........ISU isn't that good.


I think it's #2.
It’s been #2 literally every year of the CMC era. The only thing that will change my mind is an absolute curb stomping of Iowa. CMC plays right into Kirky’s plan every year and let’s Iowa pull something out of that ass in the 4th quarter to steal the game. Even 2022 wasn’t impressive.

Not making excuses for defense, but at least part of this is North Dakota being EXTREMELY happy to take what we give them and absolutely nothing more.
This is a fair observation. Theyve taken one legitimate shot and thrown a pick

The QB has done a great job moving the chains with his feet and with quick stuff underneath. But a lot of that is by design too.

#2, maybe a bit of #1. Too early for me to buy into #3 yet.

Yep, we are right on track for a CMC September. Team comes out in the opener and struggles in a W. We play Iowa at their own game and lose in the margins. Then in week 3 it will all click and we will hang like 50 on Arky St. Team is then competitive in all our league games, wins 5 or 6. Finally, show up to the bowl game looking like we skipped any sort of bowl prep. On to hoops.
