Midwestern Hawk

At D1 level, HC assists or approves of game plan, OC calls the game. I believe that is what happens at North Dakota.

What was horrible vs Missouri State? Special Teams? At Utah the Specials were fantastic. IMO opinion the only really bad stat was penalties.

Never saw Coach Schmidt & crew pitching a shutout after watching Mo St play at Mizzou the previous Saturday. Best atmosphere I have experienced at the Alerus, a needed win for Bubba. Now lets get one in Vermillion!

I watched neverman and Murray on kick cover Saturday and I thought Murray was trying to make a play and neverman was not. Murray is the guy who caused one of the holding penalties on Saturday. Great hustle and effort, neverman not so much IMO.

Have been to a half a dozen or so games in D1 era and this by far the best pre game and game atmosphere. First time I have seen students into the game and that is the key IMO.

I hope I am wrong, but I have pretty good info that Rodgers injury is more than ankle sprain. Not sure when info will come out.

Any word on how long Rodgers will be out? Not a good position for another injury. Rastas did pretty well, just struggled taking on blockers. How about Taylor? Multiple games?

We had 45 rushes and 31 passes yesterday. Closer than some games, but not a 50/50 split. I thought the play calling yesterday was great. Bubba is 10-2 over his last 12 games.

Bubba ball is never going to be a 50/50 split. It is about great defense, running the ball, play action passes and controlling the game. i agree sometimes a pass can be effective on first down, but some on here envision an offense that Bubba will never run IMO. This UND team has a chance to be really special. Obviously they have plenty to work on, but I frankly dont understand all the criticism of the OC.

If the student interest continues and we continue winning, the alerus can turn into some serious home field advantage.

Rastas was moving pretty well, but really struggles on taking on blockers. Must be considerably better than neverman, for the playing time ratioafter donnell went down.

That would be great, Donnell will be out for awhile.

Don't think donnell is very good, and I think it was demon Taylor. Lots of defensive injuries this season so far, how many defensive players have we lost for the season or extended periods?

Remember it is early in the season, team looks good for this point. Plenty to to work on, specials, penalties etc, but it will come. Bubba has taken this program a long ways in a relatively short time.

Only injury I noticed. Not at a deep position. Hopefully not serious.

Anyone know how serious Rodgers injury is?

Rodgers looks like ankle.

Donnel down. Don't need that.

I agree with this on JJ, needs to run like a speedy 230 lber, I was a little disappointed last Thursday.

Great player. Never ever like to see that. Hopefully makes a full recovery.

Do we know which frosh have had their shirts pulled for sure at this point? I have heard Shannon, Bluebaugh and Adeotti. Is that it? Any other possibilities?

McKinney was hurt during much of fall camp.
