How many times will UND have to beat NDSU for the McFeely Mountain West vision to become reality?

Yes

21 of 44 in the UND 2 deep are jr/sr 48% (vs WIU) 52% underclassmen vs 52% for NDSU. That includes Gee and not either Weah or Skokna(3 RB listed)

https://www.iheart.com/podcast/139-paul-allen-kfan-fm-1003-26980875/# Paul Allen interviews Entz starting around 1:30 in. Mostly about spring football and Trey Lantz but asks Entz about the "juggernaut" that is SIU and how they got beat so badly.

Maybe but Cofield started in the fall game. He hasn't been the only RB to transfer either.

The best RB(Cofield) transferred, his backup(Wilson) was hurt in first spring game.

Completely agree. A win over UND will certainly help SU "right the ship". IMO offense has been bad all spring, I think we will all have a better gauge on the NDSU defense after Saturday. Wins were all against struggling offense and defense was not good vs SIU.

FBS transfer downs are transferring for a reason. I think Zeb is proof positive of that.

I agree. Someone explain to me why the Bison are so young? I can only think of one reason. Far too many recruiting misses. Trey Lance, Dillun Radunz they lost. Everyone else could be playing. In September the team will only be 5 months older.

Tell me reading the last few paragraphs doesn't get the blood flowing... https://www.inforum.com/bison-media-zone/mens-sports/football/6937423-McFeely-NDSU-UND-rivalry-regains-heat-faster-than-expected#.YFHpVr7aeKM.twitter

Isn't the idea of a trophy for the winning team, "exclusionary"? Based on our new societal sensitivities, maybe we could just have a trophy for each school....

Glad to see some offers going out. Don't want recruiting to be a casualty of the spring season.

Red River Trophy.

I agree with your thoughts on the "gamer" aspect, although the sample size is very limited. He also needs to learn to get out of bounds and protect himself. He took several hard hits during his limited plays Saturday including a shot near the goal line on the last drive. If that was anyone besides a DB who hit him, likely would be Zeb for sure this Saturday.

Miller as QB gives the Bison the threat of a QB that can run, but I would guess limits lots of other parts of the playbook. All but one of the drives with Miller went nowhere. Zeb's pocket presence is that of a statue.

I finally had to watch the game delayed so it would be in sync with Jack Michaels and the radio broadcast. The WIU broadcast was painful to listen to. No idea how a "broadcast school" would let that product out.

All three offers yesterday are good looking prospects: Emmett Johnson http://www.hudl.com/video/3/8936471/5fb2305b1761f50a78ba2a18 Luna Larson http://www.hudl.com/v/2EfV2Y Haydn Stay http://www.hudl.com/v/2EhjDA

Looks like offers going out! Emmett Johnson, MN Athlete https://twitter.com/EmmettJohnson_/status/1371572262827134979?s=20

Conjecture at this point, but who would have predicted this a month ago.... https://herosports.com/fcs-football-bracketology-playoff-predictions-bzbz/

Bison D gave up 443 yards, 25 first downs and 38 points to SIU.

I agree with you, definitely some talent, but also some glaring deficiencies. OL seems to be a weakness 4 games in and also RB on top of the well-know QB and passing problems. Can't let Miller beat us with his legs and IMO we will be ok. Hard to gauge the Bison defense at this point. Were awful against SIU, but did well vs a very undisciplined MSU and a bad offense with a QB who can't throw vs ISU. No turnovers and keep Miller in the pocket and UND will notch another win.

In hindsight Shuster should have been the qb from SHSU on.

What was the staff looking at the last 6 months to start Zeb? I’ve watched bison vS SIU, MSU and ISU and have been amazed he is the Bison best option. The ISU QB was a terrible passer yesterday too.

4-0! Big game next week!

I agree . I just think it’s wise to use head-to-head competition over comparative half time scores.
