Would Mollberg switch positions at this stage of his college career? I understand he was a great athlete in HS. If Jake Hanson can go from QB to LB, he could move too. Btw, Jake was listed behind Ratelle on the depth chart the last couple of weeks. Kudos to him for gutting it out and being a great teammate.

Still haven't heard much about Donnell Rodgers. Love the name as he sounds like the type of guy who could be the on the edge pass rusher we really don't have.

So you think Mollberg and Bartles are even around next year? Heidelbaugh? What about Donnell Rodgers and Steve Greer? Redshirts? Still with us?

Thanks for this. I like to know which of the guys we already have could be impactful next year. In a different post someone mentioned Gordon as a RB. Is that right? Love Demon's name for an OL.

Thanks for the Depth Chart shot. I'm guessing Tank at NG; Camy or Rooney will be involved in the OL in my opinion just based on what I saw in their HUDL videos last year. I have a feeling Smith spends time at WR too.

So looking ahead, we lose one of the greatest LB's in school history who will be all but impossible to replace (at least with one guy) and the O-Line takes a hit with Meehan, Anderson and Boas all gone, but otherwise this team is built on Sophs and Freshmen. Anyone wanna take a shot at a depth chart for next season? Which Redshirts do you think will step up next year? Obviously we could see some Freshmen play too, but I'm curious about the guys on the roster now.

THIS!! One negative of the boards is the excuses people come up with as though the whole world is against UND. I can't even go to a hockey game night thread without reading about how the refs are out to get us. Maybe we do "deserve" it more than a team or two, but we had the games in our hand and we blew them. This should be the BEST thing to happen to this team. Their should be a chip (as another poster noted) that causes them to use this pain for the next several months in the weight room or wherever they develop skills. This should show recruits they can become part of a team on the upswing that will be in the race next year. This can be a good thing.

That's my concern-that the committee will look at it through that prism of which CONFERENCE deserves X number of teams. I disagree with your flat statement that UND does not go 5-3 in the MVFC. It would depend on who we played in the conference. Iowa is undefeated in the Big Ten. Iowa did not have to play Michigan, Michigan St and OSU.

Naturally, I hope our guys make it. They are playing their best football of the year and I hope that counts for something. I am wondering if the conference is nationally viewed positively enough to warrant 4 teams. That is a big issue I think. But, I also like to "follow the money" and if UND really has tossed a hefty bid out there, that should impress the committee. Whatever the result, the truth is this team needed to hold a 4th quarter lead in one of two games and it would be out of the committee's hands. That said, Bubba Ball is working and IF this staff has another recruiting class as good as this one appears to be, the program is going to contend for titles. And not just Big Sky titles!

Michigan, ND?

thanks

For those new to the thread the playoff show is 10:00 on ESPN

It was last Tuesday.

Geez I hope those two fourth quarter losses don't come back to haunt this team.

When the announcer says "Fighting Hawks" it sounds like "Fighting Ox."

And Meindel doesn't kick everytime because???

Nice play to Georges. I guess. Couldn't see it with the crappy camera work.

Need a looooong drive here. Or a quick Santiago TD.

This isn't good. We need a turnover because I'm not confident we stop them otherwise.

Ok now this crap is getting serious.

Do you prevent D a triple option?

I don't like Santiago on KR now. Let's save him a bit.

35-7

Reyes has to keep his cool. He's a stud, but c'mon man.

Is it? I'm a USC fan and much was made of Reggie Bush pushing Lienart in v Notre Dame and as they talked of it this year, the announcers said that it's not the rule anymore.
