Practice #2:
It was a fun day from a fan's perspective out at old Memorial today... lots of fun plays. Bubba might beg to differ on certain aspects, because, well, he's the coach.
The theme for the day today was that The Defense Strikes Back. After a day in which the offense ran a bit roughshod over the defenders, the tables turned a bit.
My Play of the Day came from the defensive side of the ball: It's not often that you see a player pull off a Pass Break Up and an INT all on the same play, but that's exactly what Torrey Hunt did. The second-year CB stepped in front of a Studsrud bullet over the middle to Toivonnen, batted it up and away and then recovered his positioning in enough time to scoop the ball up just before it hit the turf.
In other action:
- For the second day in a row, Mikey Greibel looked really good out on the practice field, and for the second day in a row the rookie snagged a one-handed catch along the sidelines.
- Austin Gordon just never lets you down the way he practices. Every time, he explodes off the ball like a bull out of a chute and increases his power through the play. Some of the rooks could learn from AG as sometimes it looks more like they're rolling out of bed than exploding through the play.
- Speaking of practice Studs, if WR Easton Erbes were maybe a couple inches taller and a bit thicker...you'd probably have heard more about him on Saturdays. The kid continues to grind and do everything right, not letting any catchable balls hit the turf, catching tough balls along the sidelines with toes in bound, and in general, hustling before during and after every play.
- Observed that Izzy, Toivonnen, Mercer and McKinney were being used a lot on jet-sweep action plays, either fakes or actual sweeps.
- Two different QBs -- Ketteringham and Heidelbaugh placed perfect balls to Greibel and McKinney, respectively, on slant patterns that would have went for long distances.
- The starting four in the secondary, at this point in practice, appears to be Tyus, Reyes, Flowers and Torrey Hunt. We'll monitor if that changes.
- Tyus played coverage perfectly on a long overthrown pass by Zimmerman, snatching an INT in the back of the end zone.
- Ketteringham connected with freshman WR Izzy Adeoti for about a 40 reception.
- Though they had there moments, McKinney and Izzy did fight balls a little bit today, more than I've seen to this point... looked to be more mental concentration than ability.
- OLB Palmborg has become a monster. He looks really good, strong and fast on the edge and in drop back pass coverage.
- Someone asked me about newcomer TyKeise Johnson's position yesterday. He's mostly been playing corner.
- After the aforementioned first-line secondary, it apears that Blubaugh, Kyle Heiptas, T Johnson, and another newcomer in Eli Allen played mostly the corner back position, while Randolph, Turner, Tucker and Shannon patrolled the middle.
- The first-line line backer positioning appeared to be Palmborg and Lawrence on the outside with Disterhaupt and Rodgers inside.
During 2-minute drills to end today's practice, Studsrud started things out again.
That series was highlighted by a PBU on Toivonnen by Tyus Carter, and a nice INT by LB Andre Steiger. (The LB crew had been changed out after the Tyus' PBU)
Heidelbaugh took the next series and it was mostly the Hayden Blubaugh Show on defense. Blubaugh had two athletic PBUs in a row on coverage of Mercer than then Stanley.
Heidelbaugh was able to connect with Seibel on a 45 yard bomb along the sidelines, with Randolph providing excellent coverage. Just a nice athletic play by the senior.
That series ended, however, with today's runner-up Play of the Day: If there was ever a play where both sides of the ball could come away feeling ok about what just happened, it would be this one. The defense, however, felt just a little bit better. Hiedelbaugh through a rope about 20 yards up and along the sidelines to Wanzek, who miraculously came down with the snag and got one toe in-bounds despite being blanketed by Tyus Carter. It's the kind of play that you'd expect only Wanzek to make. So as I am prematurely gesturing the completed catch signal from my spot in the Memorial Stadium seats, Reyes swoops in from out of nowhere to clean things up and knocks the ball loose before Wanzek is completely down. It was big boy football on both sides of the ball.
Zimmerman took the final series, which was mired by bad snaps and incompletions (bad throws, drops).
Zimmerman did find life on his series with a nice long third and 10 ball to Redshirt Freshman TE Derek Paulson, who is now wearing Dulin's old #84.
Bumps and bruises are mounting a bit and I anticipate the bike brigade membership will start growing in the coming days. Nothing looks too serious.
See you tomorrow!
Who needs Adam Schefter....we have Teeder!!!!!!!
Very informative with great detail....communications or journalism major???

That's why I microwave it for 15 seconds
Honestly, I do...wife thinks I'm koo koo

Schedule around hockey?!?!?

Under the cliche "You can't please everyone".....why the varying start times? Seems counterintuitive to branding a product....

Would appear the need for speed is being addressed this class...don't forget the Big Uglies!

That one stung...sorry!
Give Richmond credit their Playoff experience showed.
Positive UND spin: we now have a lot of youth with valuable Playoff experience to carry forward!

Just got back to Fargo and that was a game I won't forget. Lots of problems early on, up 14-6 then giving up 3 TD's before the half and trailing by 20 at one point. So with 11:00 left they announce who gets the tuition money in the contest, exit the students and enter a comeback for the ages. A pick 6, 2 OT's, a bunch of review calls at the end, but most importantly A WIN!!! Heard some boos when the Fighting Hawks name was called, a "lets go Sioux" chant, and of course a "F the Bison" chant that no one but one guy repeated (probably the alcohol talking). The audio from the video board is horrible couldn't understand a word of it. The announcer was awesome, glad to have him back after missing him last year. I still would like to have Welcome to the Jungle play when the team comes out, instead of playing it then stopping for a video then the team comes out. Should be the other way around with the video first then the song as the team runs out. One thing I noticed was the multiple Hawk logos around the Alerus. Not only lit up on the advertising board and the scoreboard but along the sidelines, I don't recall a Sioux logo being displayed like that. I can't wait to go back on Homecoming and hopefully coming home after another UND win.
Couldn't agree more on the opening...play the video first then music as the Team comes out. The way they did it seemed kinda anticlimactic.
As for crowd noise...I was told it was pretty loud on the field and helped our boys during the game. Good Hime Field advantage!
Enjoyed talking with all the tailgaters/fans...great atmosphere!

Frickers Sports Bar in Bowling Green? It wasn't too bad in there. A Bowling Green fan said normally they don't have that much representation from the other team. It was a good showing. Mason Bennet had 40 people there himself. Reyes had 20 or so family and friends there. Chris Carter had family there, too. It was fun talking with those families.
Yes indeed it was! Fricker's was a pretty cool little spot.
At first I didn't know who or what was being represented when all the folks wearing #55 white t-shirts rolled in!!! There were soo many, I never imagined it was for UND! Great showing of support by them!
Yes, Bennet and Reyes family/friends amounted to a small Army!!
Everybody we met were so nice and very passionate about UND...had a great time!

Bollant. Ran a 4.37 40 this spring. Currently a DB.
Wow! That is blazing...if hands/ball security are not an issue, get him on the field with the rock some way (return/receiver/jet sweeps).
Heck even a decoy to free up some space in the box and stretch the field.
Lord knows we need some speed out there

Can't wait to see the Gameday atmosphere at the Alerus!
I'll be in the game worn #16

Might as well, he's the fastest guy on the team.
Who is GBaby?

Attended my first UND Football game...
Takeaway: Not enough speed on the field, both sides of the ball.
Hopefully, that can become a priority if it hasn't before.

Heard ESPN 3 will cover the game, don't get it. Will anyone be streaming it over the internet?
Download the Watch ESPN App and you can watch (stream) it live.

Good kid...lapse in judgement costs him a season.
Penalty is too harsh IMO. The NCAA trying to match the NFL Commish with being judge, jury, executioner.
