I don't think you can say nice things about the coaches here as that includes the OC and that's verboten.

Hello apples...this is oranges...nice to meet you.

Sorry, but this thread is for those who do NOT want to see any good signs about Bubba and who actually hope this season sucks so there's an excuse to fire him. Que the "horrible 2nd half loss to Richmond" reminders in 3...2...1

FWIW, I can never tell the difference between Toivonen and Wanzek.

I read the first post in this thread and could not possibly take this seriously.

He has higher standards than the rest of us. I think this is a great game to head into SH next week.

Happy with the play in the trenches. D did well with our first string guys throughout. OLine was really pretty good. Much maligned but they held their own v some big time college D linemen. K had some opps to minimize bad plays by tossing it away but didn't. Still like him but it's good to have this type of game so he sees how fast things go.

According to Miller, all 4 QBs are at this one, along with 2 true Frosh OLs and both Punters.

56-6 with a missed PAT.

Not much to trust. K is MUCH better and I thought Z was too.

Yep. Each time he had room to run, but man can he put a ball where it needs to go when he has the time. To OLine credit, most of the game, he had the time.

Not even Ketteringham? So nice to have a DI QB who can make the pass to the right player at the right time. Without the drops he's gotten be 75% at least.

Cam Hunt had some good end of season games too as did Jaxson Turner. I'm glad they are still on the team AND not in the starting lineup!

I love tailgating but agree that less than half have tents. Basically, many park their vehicle to block the wind and set up from there. Frankly, just do a good tour of the others and make your decisions from there.

I would dare say that player who misses Elijah Grady the most is John Santiago.

I was ticked at lots of play calls last year and blamed Rudy for it. By the same token, I agree that the QB was not gonna win with his arm or feet and the OL didn't allow him to use either. And I know the D was decimated by injuries, but the team gave up over 30 points a game and NO ONE talks about Schmidt.

Interesting, but if your friend is a coach, this could be a lot of "coach speak" designed to insure his team does not take UND lightly.

I don't want to be "that guy" but at this point last year, we were all looking forward to the SD game as that would be the measuring stick. Sure didn't like how we measured up, but the SH game has the same feel to it. I'm hopeful things go better this year.

I was at practice for an hour or so today. Nguon was not in the drills. Looks like a groin/leg issue. Was walking without a limp. Thought Helgren looked good. Big kid, but Waletzko is a monster, as is Jenkins. Helgren was at RT. Zeke Ott flies out there. Nice to see a couple players get on their teammates. Don't have Blair's exact comment but it was something to the effect "They're relying on us and we have to knock this !@#$ off." Ty Carter got on the D at one point; unfortunately in one on one drills he got burned on a post. I wish I could have stayed as they were getting into more 11 v 11. Lots of reps for almost all players. Both of the QBs looked fine. I can't tell them apart so I had to keep consulting the depth chart.

It appears that's what McKinney is doing. Plus, it wouldn't be hard for Gordon to slide back in an emergency. Sounds like Weah has gotten lots of reps too.

Why two different numbers? Which is more recent/accurate?

Noticed that too. To be young and innocent again.

Sucks...but that's college football.

I agree. 7-4 is a legit prediction, but it's not good enough for the playoffs.

Not a rah, rah forum and everyone's entitled to their opinion. It does get tiresome to see the same POV's from some but it's a free, open forum. But don't get mad at those who grow tired of the same old stuff all the time.
