Midwestern Hawk

Tom did not report on Dline.

Almost 100% due to 6 national championships and the take-downs of FBS opponents. How many schools have had ESPN Gameday visit twice in the last 10 years?

Hockey is a great sport and UND has a fantastic program but if the University wants to elevate its profile in the Midwest and beyond, only football and basketball will do that. Phase 2 needs to be a priority and funding needs to be generated ASAP.

What kinds of things do you mean? How much underfunded? How can we help as fans(football only funding)?

Does anyone know when the team reports back to GF for summer workouts?

All three points are spot on. If Grady really wanted to play football he would be playing this season somewhere. If he could just show up, not go to school and not go to practice not work in the off-season and not really be committed he probably would be playing somewhere.

One thing I noticed watching the scrimmage, the kicker looked shaky at best kicking field goals/XP. Was he having a bad day or is this going to be a problem?

IMO the season will hinge on whether or not we can stop the run this season. If we can stop the run, we'll be able to control the line of scrimmage and also get home with the blitz. The secondary should be improved and will look much better if we can blitz effectively. If Harris is back to full strength at cb we could have a better overall defense than 2016.

I say Ott, Larson and Kruse(if he is fully healthy). All 3 are significant potential physical upgrades to the guys who were at those positions last season. Ott brings athleticism and potential to make huge plays although he still needs to pack on some weight.

Defense will be somewhere between good and great. If the oline can hold up could be a huge year IMO.

Recruiting is not as scientific and objective as we think it is. So many variables.

Seems to be much more confidence in the defense entering spring, will be interesting to hear if the defense can really get back to 2016 form.

I believe it was lifting this winter.
