[Herky] N. Dakota State hanging around

[Gwen Enokian]

Gaining 30 some yards on the ground is terrible
Not even touching a blitzing defender barreling through the line to your QB
on the most important offensive play of the game is pathetic
Not tackling your guy and letting him get an extra 2-3 yds is poor
technique and terrible

Dropping pass after pass forcing your QB to risk injury on third down
because he doesn't trust his receivers is pathetic

The score should have been more lopsided. We have superior talent, at least
on paper, but utterly failed to execute. The loss is beyond disappointing
but early in the season and we hopefully can recover and have a great
season. But we should never lose to a FCS team
Never
