So much for the “Hornets don’t belong in the playoffs” narrative spewed from the pundits and haters following the selection show. (Interesting that all 4 bubble teams won their game today, selection committee got it right.) :lol:
We were down 3 starters in the secondary today. No idea if they will be back for the game at USD. Lots of injuries on that side of the ball. Defensive line lost a starter today, not sure how bad. UND took over the momentum with the ground and pound in the 3rd quarter, not sure why they went away from that. Oh well, we’ll take the dub.
KB is nearly unstoppable when healthy. I liked our chances with him getting the start over Conklin, glad I was right with that one. Hornet play calling was straight forward without the gimmicks and frills we’ve seen most of the year which is exactly what it should have been given the pretty even matchup with UND. RPO with KB in the groove is hard to defend.
Coach Thompson matched Taylors playoff win total in his first try.
Hornet defense needs to show up to have a chance in Vermillion, not sure if we’ll have the bodies to withstand their onslaught next week. Survive and advance.
