Danny called a couple too many trick plays for my liking.. but he was more entertaining and consistent than fruechte and my guess a better QB developer. As I recall.. the major complaints were that Tommy didn’t run as much as he should and didn’t have a great deep ball. Now we have a QB that runs too much and is inaccurate. danny was handicapped by having to out score a consistently terrible defense. It would be interesting to see if a combination of Schmittys defense and Danny’s offense would work.. always fun to dream.

Two guesses on this 1) watched Jerry get his head bashed in on designed qb run after designed qb run.. decided that this wasn’t the offense for him. 2) recruited by Isaac and he is leaving.

Which would make it way worse

Was just going to say this.. USD was “decimated” in the portal last year. It worked out fine. UND is building something. Will be interesting to see how all of these guys do wherever they land..,assuming they actually land somewhere. My guess is all of the guys who left would be better off staying at und and getting real playing time… maybe SS is the outlier.. I can’t imagine there is a huge market for a true freshman QB with zero college experience other than D2 or lower.. I hope they are all listening to good people and not snake oil salesmen..

I know we give some of the GameDay experience and social medial folks some crap.. but the 701 videos each week are awesome.

I’m sure some person can pull the Massey rankings or something else on SOS.. I don’t think it’s all that diffident.. KSU.. MONT.. YSU.. Salukis (3/4 on the road) versus NDSU/USD/SDSU (1/3 on the road) I think it’s your latter points.. plenty of film., tighter.. Isaac.. Z.. and I would add accumulation of big hits on Jerry that are bigger than SOS.

Kansas state.. Montana.. Youngstown.. salukis.. all pretty good teams. versus USD.. NDSU.. SDSU.. tow of those at home. I think the SOS is reasonably comparable.

There are a couple games from last year that might disagree with this optimism.. most games were the defense fault.. but there were a couple that the offense was MIA and a good chunk of that was Simon. given that and Jerry’s play the last few games.. I would still start romfo this game.. and if Jerry is healthy work him in.

The xDSUs have proven that great players on those teams have as good or better chance getting drafted playing high level FCS then hopping to some FBS team. UND still needs to prove it. FBS has crazy money to throw around.

Actually there SHOULD be a couple people where this is their biggest worry.. obviously schmitty.. the players and all the other coaches have bigger fish to fry my guess is there are roughly 1500 business/marketing students at und that could do better.. Ndsu obviously does.. UnD hockey obviously does..

Echo this 100%.. especially the part about hopefully Jerry is ok.. kid is super tough. facts.. you would take the Jerry of the first 8 games over romfo.. and you would likely take last years romfo and today’s 4th Q romfo over Jerry’s last 4.5 games. as a reminder.. romfo wasn’t great last year but he was still about 15th on the list of things wrong with the team. With the massively improved defense.. kickers and total offense needs to get better. It’s hard to keep an rpo QB healthy.. so you better have a couple and romfo could fit the bill for us.. @SIOUXFAN97 might not like it.. but schmidty was gushing about romfo in the post game and the kid deserves it. also.. I think romfo was 4/8 passing with two bad drops. And the defense. Wow.. and Z.. what a great story.

Siedl will look better when he doesn’t have to run 30 times in between the tackles.. he looked a lot less explosive today on kickoff returns and his runs.. I think they have overused him on the inside running game.

I’m not sure if it was the Indiana St game or the USD game.. but Jerry took some really big hits and hasn’t been the same since. Romfo is doing a nice job managing the end of this game.

Z is a tough dude.. I’m amazed he came back this quickly..

I can’t imagine that they actually have a camera angle that shows he was out.. as crap as the camera work has been all game.. unbelievable
