In a way Simon and Quincy can do it all. And in the absolutely stacked backfield and there is a lot of options.
Love Q's dedication to the Hawks, but his short game passing was like a man at war tossing hand grenades.

exactly...these same starters from last year struggled against crappy programs.....
MinnDak reminded me that the guys from Ames are mostly returning starters so that blows my theory out of the water.
To support your analysis, this UND team is not as good as last year due to the OL purge and the loss of an experienced QB who moved up in the world.

can we pump the breaks on the mighty mighty cyclones....
they lost to ohio (not THE ohio state), kansas,, iowa, and memphis
none of which are blue bloods southern sytle football
went 7-6
ten years into bubba tenure there is not reason we should be 4 or more td dawgs against iowa state....this is ridiculous.
In the NIL world it makes no sense to compare a team's record last year to suggest it's the same team this year.

With Q spending probably 90 percent of his time at TE and then just the short yardage stuff at QB, I probably don't want him there throwing passes. Unless he chucks it deep on a fly pattern or something like you were maybe getting at or something super basic. But wouldn't want him dropping back and throwing over the middle.
Quincy has a strong arm, but as I recall, it didn't lead to many completions.

But the portal is closed and he can't go anywhere until December. And I can't see why it wouldn't bYupe a year of eligibility whether he's on a team or not.
Not surprised he (or someone) left, just not seeing how the logistics and timing make sense.
Yup
But with Kaminski here and Sulik looking good he may have made the decision that no matter what he was not the GUY

I’ve been trying to figure out why now? If he is able to land somewhere for this season, fine but if he doesn’t does he still burn a year of eligibility?
I think we should get used to it.
Money is out there to draw these guys in. Don't want to wait for someone else to get it.-

The DEs aren’t big enough but they certainly aren’t the same size as our LBs
Is ten pounds that much of a difference?

Remember when we had Cieslak at End at 280 and Ratelle at Inside backer at 250?
The fact the DE and LBs are the same size concerns me for the DE's.

One of my biggest disappointments this year is not getting to find out if the offensive issues the last couple years was more of a Tommy thing or an OC thing.
i bet we will see a little of Tommy in the big10 this year as it sure seems like he is 2nd string and we will sure get to see plenty of Danny this year.
I’m also gaining excitement in this years team.. some great recent articles by Tom miller.. football 360 podcast etc. many things to be excited about while also concerned about the general youth of the team.
Is Danny in a place where he makes all calls?

Former commit receiving offer from the MIAC.
Didn't he move from Fertile to the cities to get more exposure?

Sounds like another day where Romfo was the best QB. Starting to stack up W’s. He might just win this battle. Still plenty of time though.
I hope he's winning it and the other 2 are not losing it. Could be a loaded QB room which is necessary if the OL does not protect the starter.

It was one Saturday practice. He's not going to be QB1. Zero chance. Bo didn't come back for that. Word on the street is he's Tommy Lite and most here wanted Tommy gone.
I suspect you're right about the number of incredibly knowledgeable football scholars who come to this site who wanted to get rid of Tommy.
Too bad that a Big Ten team Michigan State got stuck with him.

When I was at practice on Saturday, Simon was the best QB on the field that day, and that is nothing to be alarmed about. Athletic, savvy, good touch on passes, composed and not rushed in the pocket , and went through his progressions the best, moved safeties where he wanted them to go with glances and well timed ball fakes. Clearly looked like a qb who has been in the system for a while.
Wow.
I trust your eyes and judgement.
The kid is a state champ and is a great competitor.

I’m going to make a somewhat bold take. No matter who is named the starting QB, I think Romfo is no lower than 2 on the depth chart. And he’s going to play regardless, but that’s not bold.
From all that we've been thinking, that is really bold.
Is he more than a Brockstar type?

Yes, averaging around 27th defensively in the country over the time period with the same “defensive-minded” head coach. Incredibly mediocre like everything else accomplished over the past decade.
"incredibly mediocre" or "devastatingly mediocre"?
Incredibly somehow sounds good.

I've never been overly impressed with Dennis to make him a clear #2. I like him and he has made some solid catches and taken some big hits like a dude, but I've heard for a few years about his speed, but still haven't seen any serious separation or deep threat.
Honestly I probably like Klein more when he is health. Big, hard to defend, catches anything within his massive wingspan.
Really excited for the potential of Tai or Deng. Hope someone can really breakout and be a difference maker.
With you on Klein. Hoping he's a go to guy in the red zone.

I can't tell if you're joking or not......
Please tell me you are joking
I'm not sure I was joking as much as commiserating about the new normal in the game.
Young guys are going to look to greener pastures once they establish themselves as players. They will be more valuable with 3 years of eligibility rather than 1 though as we saw with Kilty, if you're really good, one year is still worth some big bucks.

I like Klein a lot and I'm hopeful he gets over 15

Deng Deng came to mind for me. He might be a little raw but if he really is putting in work with Bo, you never know. If we weren’t as deep at RB as we are, I’d say Colton Brunell too.
But in today's NIL/Portal climate, do you really want to see a true frosh show what he's got?

To some extent, yes, but how many key players transferred from NDSU, SDSU, USD this offseason? Two from NDSU, were there any from the South Dakota schools? Without the Coaching changes at UND you see two less key players and the outlook is completely different. Take out the 5th year transfers now, and it'll be even less.
I don't think it's unrealistic to think that schools like the Montana / Dakota's who are investing in Athletics can keep the "key" player losses to 3 or less each year. Some years you might see more, some less.
Which two would have stayed and if you make the case for two why would any of them have left?
I suppose my cynical point is, it's not going to be about coaches as much as it will be about money.
Not saying that coaches don't matter, but the almighty dollar reigns supreme.
How many adults work for jerks but get paid well for doing it? -

Uphill yes I agree
what is with so few upper class men on the team. We might be the boys against men to a degree
This is the new normal.
Get young guys onto the field. If they develop well, they're off to greener pastures (more money).
Rinse, repeat.

If I'm thinking of the same play, didn't that pass end up with a TD. A wobbly duck TD
