    Defense

    Hard to say for sure whether they're truly back to where they were a few years ago until they play some of the better teams in the Big Sky, but I don't think there's much question they're better than SDSU right now regardless of what the national rankings say.

    Lennon isn't coming back, but neither do I think that he, Bubba, DeBoer, etc. all of a sudden forgot how to coach. Maybe it was just a bad fit geographically, i.e. not having the same kinds of recruiting contacts in that part of the country as they did in the Dakota's, Minnesota, etc. I have no other explanation because clearly Lennon was far more successful at the dII level than his predecessor Jerry Kill.
  3. Mollberg made his share of mistakes against Montana, but for some perspective, Brent Goska and Marcus Hendrickson combined for 146 yards against SDSU and Montana in 2010 (with a better line and running game than at present), neither was a red shirt freshman at the time, and both did quite well later in their careers.
  4. In 2010, UND played Montana and SDSU in back to back weeks, on the road, and gave up a total of 48 points. In 2013, UND played the same two teams in back to back weeks, at home, and gave up 90 points. Not exactly progress.

    Brooks Bollinger? I know he doesn't have a lot of experience (two years at Pitt as qb coach), but he would create buzz in the program.

    I would guess the NDSU d-coordinator may take over there once Bohl leaves after this season.

    I assume you mean since we became an FCS program, and if so, the answer is no.

    He's now at Western Illinois.

    I suspect only people in their 40's or older will understand this comparison, but barring a major turnaround this season is feeling very much like 1985.

    This kind of result has happened three times in the last nine games. It's completely unacceptable.
  12. In terms of the Alerus era, I would rank the worst losses as 1. Sioux Falls (2009); 2a. Montana (2013); 2b. Central Washington (2002).
  13. Rains looks imminent here, but hasn't started yet.
  14. This isn't 2014 recruiting, but there's a local 6'5", 290 pound 9th grade OL with a vaguely familiar last name to keep an eye on in the coming years: http://www.grandfork...icle/id/273078/
  15. Per a Tom Miller tweet, Goodman is injured. Also, no quarterback starter has been named yet.

    To further illustrate the point, even a head coach promoted from within a year and a half ago--where UND probably could have still gotten away with paying relatively little--is getting paid quite well by Big Sky standards (Travis Brewster).

    SDSU at UND

    It seemed like a much better win at the time. They finished 4-7 that year.

    SDSU at UND

    According to a tweet from CatGrizInsider (retweeted by Dom Izzo and several others), he has a separated shoulder.
  20. Montana State just announced that McGhee (qb) is injured and will be out until sometime in October--meaning he won't be playing against UND.
  21. I saw Rich Wilkie at the game on Saturday. Not sure whether his son was with him or not.
  22. Given their youth, they will both make mistakes. But what strikes me is that Mollberg put up 259 yards, 2 td's and led 3 scoring drives in less than a quarter and a half against an above average defense. That's pretty impressive. It's possible Bartels may be a better "game manager", which might be fine if UND had a better running game and defense. But under the circumstances, I think you have to go with the better playmaker. In my uninformed opinion, that's Mollberg.

    SDSU at UND

    I think most feel he has the better physical skills, and more potential. I guess Bartels just had a slightly better pre-fall camp.

    Will we ever see Jameer Jackson as at least a part time TE?
