The Bison are back in the Fargodome this weekend on Halloween after a one-score loss at New Mexico
Tim Polasek discusses UTEP, injuries at QB and O-line, depth, and more:

"More five yard plays. More knockback up front. When we do get some space, are we going to make somebody pay for tackling us?"
TP on offense
TP says there isn't a temptation to sit Nathan Hayes knowing the bye week is coming. Considers Hayes questionable with an ankle, says he's beyond the toe injury.
"We're not good enough on offense. If our starter is available to play he has to play."
"We've been ready to go, spirit and energy, for every one of these late kicks."
TP on travel and new kickoff times
"I think that was the hardest four-game stretch NDSU has ever been through, including the playoffs, physicality-wise."
TP
TP mentions UTEP is very active on offense pre-snap. Different formations, shift, trade, and motion.
"We still have a chance to have a very successful first year in the @MountainWest."
TP
"We're excited to have a Halloween game at home. I'm Fired Up. I'm excited to see our respsonse."
TP
"The physicality was really good, and I thought we did a good enough job of getting the quarterback under enough duress, he just did a great job of taking care of the football."
TP
“We need to execute better offensively. We need to cultivate some opportunities for players in space.”
TP
“Losing hurts. It really does. It stinks to lose. I thought our effort and competitive spirit could not be questioned.” TP
