North Dakota Play-by-Play

Credit to the OL because he got about seven yards before contact.  But Grant did have to do some work to find the seam.

And the five extra yards after contact are a regularity with him, which is very nice.


 
Looks to me like UND was heavy to the field which is the weak side of this formation.  Probably needed to run to our strong side where we had the numbers advantage.


 
Thompson won't be confused for any of the Martinez's in the running game.  But this is good functional speed. 

Might be nice to get a couple of runs here and there just to make the defense account for it.


 
I don't know if Teddy is stiff coming out of his break but I would love to see him slide faster. It's almost like the play of Nebraska was to fast for him. He might be healthy but you can tell their maybe rust or self doubt there. Hope he can overcome it soon definitely would help the team.

Pretty poor pass set by Teddy here.

Guy basically swipes at his face to get by him to the outside.

On this play, Grant has no delay before he goes out on a route. He goes right out for a route and isn't home at all to help block. If he had stayed and helps chip that guy off it kind of looks like Brewington was open past the line to gain.

Well I can't tell you how it's certainly supposed to be blocked what I can tell you that is since it's a rpo the qb imho should have kept the ball and have our wrs beat their man on coverage so he could throw the ball. Too man guys in the box to get anything out of a run option play.

Actually I think quite a few of these might be drawn up to look like RPO's but are actually designed handoffs to the back.

We had a lot of those under the Tim Beck era as well.

But he sets up way to far inside and with his shoulders perpendicular to the line basically inviting the guy to go by on the outside.

Considering the WR is blocking on the play I feel fairly confident that it wasn't an RPO.

 
Curious what the responsibilities were here.  Both Butler and Reimer end up in the same gap.  Gap responsibilities were mentioned as an issue - guys are getting out of the gaps they are supposed to occupy.

Looks to me like it's more likely that Reimer was supposed to have the inside gap and Butler the outside gap.  When Butler comes inside, there is space for the RB.


 
Butler just seems too hyped up.  And also too shocked by being unblocked that he can't recover in time.


 
I mean ... it shouldn't have been marked as a first down.

But if you're giving so much cushion that a simple slat converts on 3rd & 12, that's poor.
