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.

Right. Goes from all American RB his freshman year to now being a bulldozer RB in Rudy ball. DCs have adjusted Rudy hasn’t. He’s taken a lot of punishment with the simplicity of this offense. He could of easily been an all american WR the last couple years if Rudy made some adjustments. The guy is a special talent with a garbage can for an OC.
Again.....his talent alone warrants all conf/all American and playing in the big sky where every other team passes 65 times a game he should easily be 1st team all conf RB followed by all American at RB or WR or both.
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.

would be nice to have him around at rb if these guys are nicked up
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.

Morrison is now 260 on UND's website. Fall media day guide has him at 250. Hopefully 260 is correct.
Why two different numbers? Which is more recent/accurate?

Classy move by the kid deleting all history of his offer and commitment to UND. Then re-writes a whole new commitment tweet.
Noticed that too.
To be young and innocent again.

Looks like Westberg has flipped to the Bison.
Sucks...but that's college football.

I fully realize that and therein lies the problem. I did say I thought the ceiling could be 9-2 and it's attainable and maybe the threat of not making the playoffs will be a bigger boost. I am really hoping for a playoff win this year but one game at a time and see what happens
I agree. 7-4 is a legit prediction, but it's not good enough for the playoffs.

Is this a UND sports discussion forum or a UND sports rah rah rah forum? ...Just curious if articulate, nonemotional objectivity is allowed? It seems to me that instead of discussion around differing opinions, we are discussing whether or not we can have differing opinions.
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.

I'm going with 7-4 for the regular season. Loses to Washington, Sammy, Idaho, and Weber. Best case we go 9-2, worst is 6-5.
7-4 does not make the playoffs.

I agree the O-Line needs to be much better. It has been the most disappointing position group during the Bubba era. There should be 5 year sr's. and 4 year jr's on this roster and there isn't many. Lots of misses in the first two recruiting classes.
That said, I checked SU's roster, they have 4 OL's over 300 and they avg 301lbs. We have 7 over 300 and avg 315. I don't think weight is the problem.
If this group is not better this year, the hot seat will be real..
Thanks for the comp. What's the DLine numbers for them?

I just saw Jenkins weight too. Wow! Hope he has the speed and technique to go with that weight gain.
I saw him walk off the bus before a game last year, and the guy is HUGE. Now he's HUUUUGE! Yes, size isn't everything, but man there's potential.

Seguin +10 I really liked him in the spring game
Williams +5
Swenson +4
Bennett +22 (257)
Geier +13
Ott +3
Tobin +1
Nguon +10
Rooney +12
Russon +9
Jenkins +30 (now at 305, a MONSTER)
Helgren +8
Here's the weird part.
Dline. Tank -3, Cieslak -8, Morrison -10, Engwall -14 and on the O Line, poor Blair is down 4 though he may not have been 270 as the spring roster shows.
By the way I counted 6 over 300 and Helgren is at 298 and Russo at 294. Who is calling for the firing of the strength coach? Some of you just look for excuses to fire anyone!

I have the Spring Roster. MOST of the players are up a few pounds.
Lawrence up 15
Carter up 10
Ketteringham and Zimmerman up 10 and 8
Jax Turner up 14
Shannon up 15
Bungham up 14
Rodgers up 13 and Hunt up 4
That's through jersey number 50

Is the first sentence really necessary? I mean, you're not always negative about the coaching staff, remember?

I can't imagine anything they come up with will be so outstanding that it has to be kept secret for a couple of games. Just use the personnel you have to the best of everyone's ability and the other team won't stop it even when they know it's coming.

But isn't it possible that due to a better passing QB, the scheme will change? Isn't it possible that some of the play calling was based on the limitations of the QB?
If it's shown that Keteringham and/or Zimm are obviously better passers than Studsrud and the play calling stays the same, I'll be grabbing a pitchfork along with so many others here.

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!
