My understanding is that most schools will hope to have more in December than Feb.

I bet you don't. The expectation in Bama is winning a National Title every year. They may not make the playoffs because of this loss which I believe is attributed to the fact the D was without key players. Of course, Bama's injuries do not justify UND's implosion, but UND not reaching it's expectations is a bit easier to comprehend. For some.

Did the CB Fitzpatrick play?

Bama lost yesterday and may be out of the football playoff (though it should be 8 not 4 teams) and part of their lack of dominance on D this year is that 4 of their top LB's have been injured. Just saying....injuries suck

Kid likes to hit. Closing speed on the run is impressive.

His dad played OL here.
-
But DO NOT say it was the injuries!
-
But when your entire narrative is that we ONLY consider the score and never consider injuries or anything else, then we have proper grounds to argue that a. most of us fans have low expectations if b. we don't seek a new HC after the season. Get it?
-
So the team averaged almost 6 yards/running play?? Wow. I would never have guessed it was that good and I understand that a couple of long runs boosts the average, and some of it was Studs running for his life, but ... Is it possible, Bubba (and Rudy) saw the average and decided they could just keep running? I get it, it didn't work a lot of the time, but the numbers are better than I thought.
-
I'm hopeful that Larson, Morrison and Honerlaw also bring it to the D next year. A different QB will make a big difference too.
-
I bet the RB's would say it did.
-
Big enough? I started looking at BS team rosters to see who brings lots of players back (SUU is one and EWU too) I noticed, having looked at 3 teams so far (SUU, PSU and EWU) that many if not most true freshmen linemen are the same size as our guys in that 230-260 range. I know this isn't a scientific study, but it caught my attention.
-
We know what our team has coming back for next season, but just wondering what other BS teams have? I watched Montana v MSU earlier and now watching NAU and SUU. SUU looks good, but NAU had some horrible special teams play so far.
-
I agree that none of them were ready and your point is good that if only one of them had to play, their lack of readiness could have been covered by a Reyes or other more experienced guy. I think that Rastas played his guts out and is smart enough to know the D, and IF he puts on 20 pounds, he will be able to handle the job. But with Larson and Rodgers hopefully there next year, he will be a nice backup.

2 things I heard in the last two weeks: Carson Wentz sat for 3 years before getting a starting job at that school south of us. Aaron Rodgers was NOT recruited much out of HS and went JUCO for 2 years. I think sometimes we get too excited about flashy recruits when it's these types of guys who can make your team. Of course, both are QB's and that makes their progress more noticeable. Anyone on the current roster that may be under the radar that we never talk about?
-
How about McKinney and Greibel? Are they going to contribute?
-
It was probably an excuse made up by Bubba's backers as most of us want a mediocre team and will excuse anything.
-
He means if you have a bad season caused by incredible injuries you MUST ignore the injuries and you MUST fire the coach and if you disagree you have LOW EXPECTATIONS for the team.
-
This is your version of the truth, plain and simple. Everyone's entitled to and to express it here; I did it a lot on the hockey section as I felt Hak, after 10 years, needed to go. I get it, but it's way too soon to suggest that Bubba should go.
-
But in the winter we'd pile up snow so we had something to dive into . Imagined we were playing at the old Met in MPLS

UNDFootball360 liked Eric J. Burton TSD @goon4812h12 hours ago More Eric J. Burton TSD Retweeted UNDFootball360 Over on Sioux Sports, they want coach Paul Rudolph fired, yesterday. He was an assistant coach when I was a freshman at Upper Iowa, I think he's a good coach. Personally, he pushed us as players to get better every day.
-
Thank you for this. Sometimes numbers do not support perceptions. I thought Muss had a high flying pass all the time O here. And a throwing QB next year could make 50 yards per game diff on his own. Also, our receivers have very little YAC and that could change next year too IF the QB leads the WR and the WR has more speed like McKinney Greibel .
-
I was referring to Brian Kelly.
-
He did. But he also changed his own ways too. Yes, a rebound IS necessary and I believe it will happen.
-
So if he gets fired, where do you see the program? How many of Ott, Larson and others leave for other places? How many of the recruits who verballed are gone? How long before the next guy gets us to where we were last year and likely would have gotten without all the injuries?
