It'll be interesting to see where the Coaches poll everybody after this shake up weekend.

What an awful loss! We shouldn’t even be in the top 25 after this. What a joke.

I hoped the guys were no overconfident at the start of the game and now I wonder if that was a factor.

Dropping us out of the top 25 for losing a game against a team that nearly beat UNLV, lost close to UNM and almost beat montana is a stretch. Bad loss but not that bad. Also a ton of top teams lost today, who do you want in front of us?

Blocked punt for 6 was the difference. And we just couldn’t stop #28, especially on the draw play. It worked nearly every time. Their pass protection was giving their qb all day to find the open guy. Very diappointed.

Looks like today was upset day. Few top 15 upsets.

Only caught bits of the game, the early long ISU run was painful. Was it that brilliant of a misdirection?

Will we get any defensive players back the next 3 weeks?

We could use some more length at WR. NDSU has at least five 6'3" WR, two at 6'4", and a massive fullback (6'2", 248 #s).

Items that stand out:

- we controlled TOP, so our defense shouldn't have been tired (36 m > 23 m)
- we out gained them, 567 > 471
- 3rd down conversion: ISU 6 of 10; UCD 2 of 8
- Psyk and Goligoski share a Sack
- Cofield and Bell each with a Pick

Was Caden at 85%, 90%? His TOs not typical.

Cofield and Vargas injured?

Weird loss. Reminds me of the 2021 matchup when the then-undefeated Aggies lose to a winless Bengals squad. Hopefully we don’t have a first-round matchup against SDSU at Brookings, if we do make the playoffs.

Caden just had an awful game. He wasn't seeing the field at all. His play fumble to end the half. Interception to end the game. Either the kid is hurt or his head is out of place. We need to see some of the other QB's on the roster.

He was also 8 days out of being in the hospital for tonsilitis...on antibiotics and fluids trying to get back to normal.

We saw Harper play last week and I don’t know that a different outcome would have resulted. QB might not have been 100%, but i think disasters on defense, special teams, and play calling may have been more definitive than the offense shortcomings. Not taking easy 3 at the end of Q2 turned out to be game point.

How long would that FG attempt have been?
