One of the guys I played with who played some in the CFL said he was shocked that UND didn't do more position specific stuff. That philosophy was roundly debunked on this forum at that time. I agree that the injuries aren't due to the S&C program but am still surprised that OL are doing the same program as CBs - if that is true. Yeah, I brought it up two years ago and was "roundly debunked" too (I love that phrase!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a group of antibiotics that can cause problems with ligaments but they should not be used routinely. The supplements are unknowns cuz God only knows what is in them. Creatine can cause muscle cramps and possible strains/pulled muscles. All of these should be something discussed with athletes and monitored by our athletic trainers.

I also know that there are different S+C philosophies and trainers are passionate about their own methods and that there are many ways to skin a cat. What I do know is that a football specific S+C trainer here in the Twin Cities - who worked for the Vikings for years - trains his athletes differently than Bakkol and does not approve of the training done at UND. I don't have a ton a specifics but I do know that the former Vikings trainer does not believe in squats and trains athletes specific to their positions - and both of these contrast with UND's method. Defensive backs are given weight programs different than offensive linemen and different than punters. He also said that many D1 schools do not squat because of the knee stress and when the NFL draft combine is approaching the players go back to it because it's one of the metrics used at the combine. After that the Vikes don't squat, at least when he was there (enter Vikings ineptitude joke here). Strength and conditioning should be customized for the sport and for the position. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bincitysioux Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 So I have multiple TVs in my living room and after the shellacking yesterday, while it was my wife's turn to watch House Hunters, I had the NDSU-YSU game on one of the other TV's. My wife glanced up at that TV and said "holy cow their guys are all so much bigger than ours, our players look like high schoolers". How I know a lot of our guys WERE playing high school ball a year ago, but its not the first time we've pointed this. USD's guys seemed way bigger and more athletic than ours when we were in Vermillion. Just sayin'........... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homer Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 For the record, I like Baukol and don't know strength training but I am in agreement with others that off-season workouts need to be evaluated, along with possibly player commitment. This many injuries is unheard of because it doesn't happen. Bad luck or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with your assessment of smash mouth. I believe if you are only going to have 3-4 base.... the DEs should be at least 250 lbs and the nose should be at least 290. Having a cupboard full of quick small LBs does not get it done with smash mouth. Right before Donnell got hurt in the misery st game , I happened to be watching him.....he went right off the backside of tank to fill a gap.....he was met there by a pulling OL....Donnell lit him up!!!! Nearly put him on his ass. ....instead he just knocked him back 5-6 yards and made the tackle. That's what they are missing this year. Nobody left has the size and or attitude to make people move.

In defense of the S&C staff, a lot of the players recruited by Bubba come out of high school way behind the eight ball, so to speak. Bubba and his staff may have to just start by recruiting more physical players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Guy Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 In addition to strength and conditioning. UND needs to find the $$$ for a nutrition program. Many D1 schools provide protein shakes, and other food in the athletic facility year round for their players to attain and maintain weight. Also, a point to note is, UND requires and pressures kids to stay in town for most of the summer. I say let the kids go home, get some home cooking in them and set measurable strength and conditioning goals that they will be tested on in July when they return. Many kids stay in town working full-time jobs just to pay rent which doesn't give them much time to workout and develop their bodies.

Even though our guys are young, at certain positions I question the body types we have out there. Some of our DEs look like LBs. They need to add 20lbs minimum basically across the board. Our OLBs are a bunch of converted safeties with the exception of Haas and Lawrence. Even those guys could use a good 20 lbs. Haas has the frame to carry 250 no problem. ILBs are a little better with Rodgers, Larson, and Hunt. Rastas needs to add at least 30lbs. Our safeties are smallish as well. Again, 20 lbs for most of them. At corner the size of most of our guys is ok but they either need to get stronger or tougher. OLB and DE are the two biggest size concerns for me.
