    Below average arms don't, as an underclassman, complete 65% of their passes and rank 4th in the MVFC in passing yards per game.  Tommy was 4th in passing yards per game while only a single receiver had over 400 receiving yards.  Tommy had little receiving talent to work with last year, and any of the talent he did have was either injured or coming off a major injury - let's see what Tommy can do this year as an upper classman with what should be a better receiving corps.  

    I agree. Tommy struggled in some games last year but overall played well. I just rewatched the SDSU game the other day and Tommy had a ton of good throws. With those good throws he had a few drops that would have been huge plays for us. We need our wrs to make all the plays when they are there to be made.

    Pretty weak to blame the false starts on crowd/stadium noise.  Those guys would've been jumping early in a library.

    I agree we need to be better with the noise...however it was a home game and between the band and the Alerus pumping music our offense had to deal with a lot of noise. No reason they should have to deal with either when playing at home. This needs to be fixed before the next game.

    Was that recent? I don’t recall those names but I don’t follow local sports much anymore unless they are being recruited by UND/ NdSU

    Brent Quale from Williston played for the Huskers.

    Boy does Kason Kelley really look the ILB part. He made one play that looked really impressive too. I know he’s on the 2-Deep, would like to see him get more and more reps.

    I agree...I thought Pedigo looked good too. I was impressed with our young linebackers.

    These are valid points. My main point is, at the point of contact, with a strong RB, our LBs tend to get moved backwards. That generally didn’t happen to the group I reference as the body type and thump standard. In fact they regularity blew backs up in the hole.

    I’ll go with others...dline size is a much bigger issue right now than LB size...that being said our run fits were very poor against ndsu and jmu. If you are in the right spot it is much easier to make a solid tackle than if you are diving at the rb as he runs through the hole. If we can get a little bigger at dline and have our LBs in the right spot we will be just fine.

    Was fun to see all the way around.  Still plenty to work on, on both sides of the ball.  Sammy Fort really stood out to me on defense.  Otis should get 20+ carries every game.  Although there looks to be plenty of depth at WR, I'm still not sure there is a speedster out there that can stretch the field.

    I agree very enjoyable to watch and a ton of things to still improve on...I’m with you that I want to see more out of our WRs and the deeper passing game. We struggled with completions downfield. We need our WRs to win the 50/50 balls and we also need our qbs to throw the WR open. 


    The push by both lines was the highlight of yesterday.

    Nice take. We had some hogs when he was here. He busted their asses every day. Now he’s an FBS head coach. Must’ve happened by accident.

    I’m not arguing that. He was a great coach and did push people hard...but our offense and oline were average at that time...not great. That being said I think our new oline coach is also going to be very good.

    Makes me long for the days of those Rod Carey OLs.

    Yes...we were an unstoppable offense during that time period...scored at will...nope. I have nothing for or against either coach but let’s not make stuff up.

    I think Shannon should slide down to OLB. He’s an absolute dog. He would have great speed for a LB.

    I’ve heard this is the plan. He’ll need to get bigger but I like it. This spot has me most concerned for next year.

    So does Skokna have another game (4th)? I'm so lost on who can play or can't based only losing their RS.

    I think he burned his shirt yesterday.

    Need to force a turnover or two 

    Yes we do. The effort by the D just isn’t there right now. Maybe a fumble or int can get them moving.
