I’m not sure that is accurate. Most NFL players don’t make that much.

Sather did nice work convincing him to stay.

It obvious you don’t. We do know what you can do (repeatedly). I would have thought you would have realized that a long time ago this nonsense shows a lack of FB knowledge and a lack of class. I would wonder if he stole your girlfriend but I can’t believe you’ve ever had one.

Early on Romfo called a great audible on pass and changed running play where he physically repositioned the blocker. We can listen to what his coaches and teammates say or we can listen to the handful of pissants, who if they even ever played the game (doubtful), never learned to appreciate their teammates especially the backups. He got to his reads quickly and got rid of the ball quickly. He completed 3 of 6 with 2 drops. He hasn’t played meaningful minutes at QB in over a year, but didn’t get rattled. I hope Kaminski recovers quickly, and can play next week, but it’s good to know we have an experienced QB who his teammates and coaches have confidence in. We moved the ball effectively at a crucial juncture in the game. I don’t care who the QB is as long as they play well and do their part to lead this team to another win.

If you request, I believe they will pay for your counseling.

You don’t throw it to guys who are covered.

Whiff block by 76 and missed block by RB. We will see how Simon can do despite not getting reps all year. 2 dropped passes so far.

screen pass and they must have forgotten the TE is an eligible receiver.

Play calling is OC’s call, HC can over rule, and QB audibles if he disagrees.

Good idea ( as long as someone else organizes the flight. I wouldn’t want to end up in “alavama”).

They have a QB with a 65% completion rate. They have a huge oline ( like SD State) and 9 RB’s averaging 5 or more yds/carry. They are undefeated in FCS games. They typically have good skill players in their league. This won’t be easy. We will need to play our best (complete) game of the year.

Agree, but if we are going to make a playoff run, we have to tackle better, no missed assignments and play penalty free.

That’s nonsense. UND is responsible for the Alerus and FB revenues not a generous donor. I’ve stated my opinion and will respond to this on a separate thread but let’s not digress from UND FB.

He “short-armed” it.

Yes but, that’s on UND not a generous donor.

Those 4th down calls aren’t calls made by a special teams coach. The ST coach places players in a position to succeed, but can’t make a player block the opponent rather than a “look out block”.

Probably belongs on a different thread but when a donor has been as generous as the Engelstad family and their foundation has been it is baffling that you continue these type of posts. Their support focuses on their top priority, but the initial facility donations and subsequent support continue to benefit not just hockey, but MBB, WBB, VB and if not directly, at least indirectly our other sports. For those who have served on Foundation Boards or similar, I believe it’s clear the best response isn’t to criticize their generosity, but simply say thank you.

Eric has moved the team and program forward. We have had solid play from our “nickels” (Kostich responsibility). We have had very few punts returned against us this year ( net punting average is about 42yds). We had our FG kicker struggle early, replacement seems to have settled in. Kostich is recognized by players and coaches as a great recruiter and players like and respect him. What coaching changes should he have been making? He has put his players in a position to be successful. (That’s a different story with our offense).

Yup, perfect pass to Hoskins. As things played out, we could have been up 21-0 before they scored. 2 PI’s, Jerry’s 2 turnovers, 2 plays with missed secondary assignments, didn’t try to run outside but our oline that is supposed to be a strength didn’t dominate LOS, and defensively they pushed us around on Los. We continue to give up too many yards after contact to RB’s. I know Ziebarth is hurt but we have gone from rotating 3 RB’s to basically 1RB who we wore out trying to run inside yesterday. I’m not sure having our smallest RB as lead blocker for Jerry is best use of personnel. Essentially we abandoned our outside running game. For some reason after a pass to our TE early in the game, I don’t recall throwing to any of our TE’s the rest of the game. Our 2 games against the S.Dak schools we our worst of the year. Lots of room for improvement, but we are capable of a playoff run.

Hard to keep track of who is being sarcastic and who is serious. There are a number of folks who believe that is effective and exactly what our team needs. You posted it, did you think my response was serious? ( good call, it was )

That’s little league crap. Doesn’t work at this level unless the cumulative IQ of your team is below 80.

Sophomores at any position, starting all year, should have out grown most of their “pains” by now. I watched the Ill State-SDSU replay on MidCo. Their OLine is huge and capable of a dominating run game. Mason is a big mobile QB. Odds are they won’t start as poorly as last week. This is playoff FB for both teams. We can’t afford turnovers, missed tackles, errant passes, mental errors (players or coaches) and we can’t afford penalties. We are capable of beating these guys but we need to play our best game of the year. That’s how we close out close games and that’s how we will win.

If that happens, will you please let us know what your thoughts are regarding special teams? ( preferably multiple times over the next year or so).

I think his brother will have multiple FBS offers, including Big 10 schools. You are correct, I don’t believe he would be interested in UND.

I don’t think so. They haven’t even been selling “Touchdown Trey” clothing. He has had an impressive season so far and he isn’t even the best QB in the family.
