That last sentence is what we expected to happen last week too, coach.

Colter, of all our games this season, how many opening drives of a game or the 2nd half, have resulted in a td? What's that percentage?

Yep, can't play ball control until we have the lead with the team we have. I'm glad he gets it, just a week too late.

You can look that up at the BSC site or ESPN. No need to ask Colter to do it.

Sorry for the laziness [cat]s but I'll attribute it to a full time job.

So by Colters work, we an see the the DC at UND is the only team we didn't score on, in opening possessions. Too bad our DC didn't get that job. I wonder if our DC sees how effective making adjustments against MSU is?

My point in asking is relative to preparation and in game adjustments. I'm guessing we script a series of plays for each half. I fully in belief that Cramsey will out coach our remaining opponents with the griz possibly being a question mark. With the remaining healthy bodies we have, I think we'll plan to our strengths and be just fine until SJ gets back.

We were going into a stiff 25 mph win in the first quarter vs UND. Also had a bad snap lose 19 yards and kill our first drive. Broke out with 23 points with wind in second quarter. Had the wind in the third, but with 19 point lead we wentvfor it on fourth and one and failed. Next possession we had a drop on second and 1 and then lost a yard on third.
