LT got beat badly there

Agreed.

Would like to see a play action deep shot at some point. Also could see a long run from Romfo pulling it

Bluiett has not looked good

If you are running it and 3rd and 8 you better be going for it. Net of 18 yards on that punt and it wasn’t even close to being a good punt

If he’s short, sneak with Q

A throw over the middle!!!

Have to make a play on that first one. How the hell did that make it through

With basically a whole new o-line, not a good situation for Simons first start. Feel like he will be running for his life.

I tried the other day and the same thing happened.

I was maybe thinking Utah or Washington but don’t think either of those teams ended up as well as they usually do the years we played them.

At least we have a big D-line to match up with them!

Remember when we had Cieslak at End at 280 and Ratelle at Inside backer at 250?

Me as well. I’ve been very critical of the program in recent years and have my doubts for the year. I have a feeling I will get very frustrated this year. Doesn’t mean I can’t have fun and enjoy watching my team play. I choose not to piss and moan all the time.

First home game is going to be a great day of tailgating. Excited for the season to start!

I’m pretty sure he is not calling plays.

He will have running packages for sure again I think.

Plus Iowa State is projected to be better than I had originally thought, certainly better than the Nebraska team we played 2 years ago.

Honestly wondering, how does Massey work for ranking defense? Eye test tells me we weren’t a top 26 defense last year.

I wish it would be a blowout but I think it’ll be close. I think NDSU will be able to run the ball and sustain long drives on offense.

Can’t confuse deep with a lot of people competing for a travel spot.

The coaches have now moved into their new offices. In around 6 months, the weight room and locker room will be ready. Getting really close to everything being finished for the football program.

I have as well. Hopefully he is

They really need Rucker to take another big step at OLB. In the last 360 article they were high on the Upper Iowa OLB transfer (John Butsch). They need this position to be significantly better than it has been the last couple of years. Think they are also banking on Erkman being a stud at safety, and need one of the transfers from West Virginia State to step up there as well. DL worries me. Again, will need a couple of the transfers and redshirt freshman from last year to step up. I’m trying to be optimistic about the defense next year but I have had trouble doing so considering how they’ve been the last couple of years. Considering he’s technically a defensive coach, Bubba and his staff needs to get this side figured out. They will be relying on some D2’s/Juco/NAIA players making the jump up so it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
