I would say, at this point, Jawon Johnson and Cole Reyes, backed up by Zach Arnell and Swede.

TE looks really good, too, with Zach Adler's experience, steady-eddy nature and workman like attitude. He's probably the best blocker of the TE contingent and his versatility allows him to be put in the FB position, if needed. We were sitting better when Ruhe was out there practicing; he's big and tall and can catch in traffic. If Bubba is saying that RBs Arrington and Oliveira are expected back soon despite their apparent ankle injuries, I would expect Ruhe to be on the same return timeline. It appears that Feidler is a Ruhe protege who is showing that he possesses many of the same qualities. Luke Matthewson is hit and miss, but when he is on he brings valuable depth to this position group. Nordby has not practiced all camp. I have seen converted OL Jacob Francis line up at times in both the FB and TE slot. Youngster Keller is coming along nicely at TE but probably won't see the field this year due to all the experienced bodies ahead of him.

Safeties are looking really good. We have three really good ones for a change: Jawon Johnson, Zach Arnell and Cole Reyes. William "Swede" James and Dillon Olson have also been around a while and have playing time experience. Arnell plays with a violent chip on his shoulder. He's like a faster, taller version of an ILB.

Parker Pros, They look about as much as expected. Heidelbaugh is probably a little further ahead at this point. His throws are more accurate and he's got good command at the line. I've said before I think he'll be a really good scout team QB for UND this season. As for Hartness, he's not far behind. He looks pretty much the same as most of the freshmen QBs that I've seen roll in to camp the past five years, and that includes Mollberg, Bartles, Studsrud and a kid named Palendech, who transferred out and is now fighting for a starting spot with FBS UNLV. I'm saying the learning curve is steep and we'll learn a lot more about their true abilities once the game starts slowing down for them.

FSSD, Francis hasn't made anyone's jaw drop at FB, at least early on. You are right, though, he is a big man at that position. The one I have been more impressed with as far as a surprise is Coyne.

He looks like a good one!

Thanks, guys! I wished I could do this for s living, but duty calls. ( :

always my pleasure!

It's final!!! UND gets four goals by Viterbo to avenge last year's shut out loss to the same team. 4-3 UND. All four goals scored by UND freshmen! FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT!!!!!

Sorry my updates are lagging. I was working on my fall camp scrimmage report! It's truly been a day for the freshmen today out at Bronson Field! EGF native and UND freshman Riley Koberinski score to give UND a 3-2 edge over visiting Viterbo. Fellow freshman Katie Moller then notched her second of the game to make 4-2 UND. Viterbo closed the gap with a PK to make it 4-3 UND. For context sake, this same Viterbo team shut out UND 3-0 last year on Bronson Field.

There was a nice showing of fans today for the first and what has been reported will be the only real scrimmage of fall camp before UND faces Wyoming. About 30 people were on hand compared to the usual handful of die hards. WR Alex Reed sat out the scrimmage today presumably for precautionary reasons for some unknown reason. The other usual suspects were still out with bumps bruises and ankle sprains. Oliviera joined Arrington in the wearing of boots on their left legs. The Iron Man Award today goes to Iwarri Smith, who is only one of three RBs (Norberg and Austin Gordon) to participate in today's scrimmage. He took a solid hit to the knee on one series. He had a noticeable limp after that but continued to return for more attempts at RB. Bubba and Rudolph ran a balance of running and passing plays today. Norberg had a nice run up the gut busting through a seam and breaking a couple of LB tackles before being brought down. It's the kind of run that would have been a welcome sight on first or second down last season. The best run of the day, though, came at the hands, or feet, if you will, of Austin Gordon, who busted through the line and scampered up the right hash for about 40 yards. It was shades of Adam Shaugabay. WR Stanley showed off his height on a sideline route where he went up and snatched the ball at its highest point well above the reach of the secondary. CB Chris Carter had a violent hit and tackle on WR Dulin. Both players were ok afterward. Mollberg seemed to get the bulk of the plays today and did fine. He hit Dulin on a 10 yard TD pass. Studsrud was equally solid, nothing flashy though .... He did tend to run more when plays broke down. Bartles was involved in a couple of nice pass/catches, including A 50 yard pass and catch from Bartles to 6-5 TE Feidler as well as a 20 yard toss to WR Carter Blackwell in the back of the end zone. FB Coyne had about a 20 Yard catch and run. On the somewhat negative side, there were too many false starts today by the OL. Got to get that cleaned up, however some of those false starts came at the hands of inexperienced personnel on the line -- still they have to learn. Taubenheim was solid on FGs and PATs. The punting game has been hampered by Miendel's health and Bolducs's departure. Well, my vacation is over and it's back to work on Monday, so these reports will be fewer than they have been in the future. Nonetheless, I will try to supply whatever I can on occasion.

Freshman Katie Moller ties it up again for UND. 2-2!!!

There are two #39s at times depending what practice jersey they wear. It could be either RB Austin Gordon or FB Josh Leonhard.

Still don't know who that is.

UND TIES IT UP 1-1! Goal by Freshman Kaylee Kebba. 23 minutes remain in first half. Kebba scores from about midfield after Viterbo goal keep misjudges leap.

I'll have some first scrimmage reports later this afternoon. Right now I'm at the UND soccer game. It's just about to start. About 15 minutes out.

Faison put that "out" months ago, in case anyone wasn't paying attention.

Bartles.

that's great news!

I believe he walked off with help from trainers.

SiouxFootballnsider has a nice first week recap with projections. A must read! http://siouxfb.areavoices.com/2015/08/14/week-1-thoughts-2/

The walking wounded is growing, and running back depth is even more of a challenge. Oliviera appears to have suffered the same type of injury to the ankle as Arrington. He left on crutches earlier in practice after turning on it wrong during special teams drills. That leaves Norberg, I. Smith and Austin Gordon as the only RBs practicing right now. Also DL Steve Greer was hurt during the first round of 11 on 11 drills. Looks to be a lower leg thing. On a positive note, CB Harris returned to full action today and looked 100 percent. A small scuffle broke out today between a DB and a WR during one-on-one drills. It was quickly extinguished by coaches and other players. I couldn't tell who the combatants were so I can't give you the Tale of the Tape. It was nice to see that kind of fire out there on the practice field as it shows heart with position battles still up in the air. I don't want to make too much out of this; SiouxFootballInsider put it best: #everyyear Cerrentino had by far the best catch of the day as he snatched a 50 yarder in stride with three DBs draped all over him. The hit of the day goes to walk-on fullback Josh Leonhard on Labat. Leonhard absolutely brought the boom down on one of UND's stud linebackers. The defense dominated red zone skelly exercises today with four INTs ( W. James x 2, Flowers and Arnell), and a batted-away pass by Dylan Bakker. No one QB was the primary victim. They all rotated through and all were challenged by the stout D. SEE YOU TOMORROW!

I am too. It was just breathtaking the other day when I walked in it. Pictures do not do it Justice at all.

I missed that. Thanks!

it's pretty nice, though, isn't it?
