He's huge, but I'd worry about a speedy LB on the edge rushing the QB. The footwork NEEDS work. Plus, whenever he had a chance, he dove on the guy he pancaked. I've seen refs call that holding.

Is he still visiting UMinn next weekend?

I thought he looked so much faster than anyone out there I wondered about the competition. But we need speed.

Apparently 8 recruits are on campus. Any word on who?

oh ya

What else happened in the last week?

Speaking of the current Champs, not that many Sr's on the roster.

Oh...that makes sense.

In light of the SU ability to grab lots of MN players, it seems it hurts them the most. UND has made forays into the Cities but for the last 5-6 years, SU has done the better job of nabbing the guys we can expect Fleck to get.

Totally understand, but it was the first game of the year, with a different QB than the guy who was undefeated since taking over. I just think, even if you disregard USC, that an 8 team playoff is better and would allow for a "hot" team to make a move during the playoffs. No one has EVER argued that BCS playoffs should be reduced. They play the same game with college students and it's a great thing for all those schools.

On Twitter, UND football recruiting says we have a new recruit. Local kid. WHO??

This has been talked about a bit on the site. Look out! There are many who feel it's sacrilege to suggest a Santiago move out of the back field.

Gotta be Johannesson right? Along with him, I agree that Zimmerman could fill a significant role. I also like Mikey Griebel.

Althought #55, Mason Bennett looked good too.

Who were the 2 RS's whose RS was put on red alert near the end of the season as injuries continued to decimate the line? Are they ready to go next season?

The Polls aren't the method or at least not entirely. The committee would have picked them. I think. At least it's not stupid polls with teams playing in random bowl games that decides it now. At least there's a 4 team playoff, but if FCS can have great week of football playoffs, it's not asking too much for the top conferences/teams to do the same.

Other than UND, USC is my favorite team. I wish there was an 8 team playoff as NO team is hotter than they have been the last 2 months.

Their QB had harsh words for the Administration for moving them down to FCS. Wonder how it will affect recruiting. Less money is a factor.

Anyone watching Idaho smash Colorado State in some stupid bowl game? As we get our hopes up for the future, recall they are joining Big Sky football in 2018.

True...be nice if our D oriented team did that more often, too. Not being critical, but the fact these burners are going D is somewhat confusing. I like the WR's we have but all are possession type receivers and do not get open downfield enough. IF a team, had to defend the RB's we have while also having to worry about the long ball down field, this O would be unstoppable. NO safety could ever play within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage.

I agree with all that, but in light of the fact that one thing this team seemed to lack (especially after Clives injury) is a burner to open the field. Maybe I'm wrong in my analysis of some of them, but these new D guys look like they could be that type of WR.

Gibson's HUDL is WR and there was another WR that just signed as a CB. I'm not smart enough to figure out how a WR becomes a S or CB, but the speed of the last couple guys sure would look good on O.

Love that SU was upset the NCAA took away their video for a playoff game. Meanwhile at UND, we were upset the NCAA took away our beer for a playoff game. Different type of fan I guess.

In the 3rd clip of Z's HUDL video he does something Studs NEVER does....He looked one way and threw the other. WOW!

This is called a Reverse Curse. IF things go wrong next year, I'm blaming you.
