There are serious issues at UND, but others in the system are doing what they've always done (including UND's former chief executive): whistling past the graveyard.
Given the fact that Kelley hails from New Mexico and spent about as much time in such liberal strongholds as Texas and Wyoming (sarc.) as he did in Cali, I think you can get the idea about how much actual thought was out into that analysis.
I like UND's potential to wear defenses down with Nevermann, Norberg and Gordon and then counter it with "finesse" guys like Santiago and Oliviera and George's deep.
