The way it's going UND will have trouble getting 5 first downs today.

I believe a lot of those problems recently had to do with concussions. If that's true, then that would be a legitimate reason to quit if he didn't want to deal with that. In either case, we're getting pretty thin if Young is also gone.

Do you know if Tristyn still has an interest in UND?

This game actually scares me a little bit because the biggest weakness our defense has shown is the pass defense. Now, it is miles ahead of the Chavon Mackey led unit of last year, but we've still shown times where we are susceptible to the pass. I do think UND has a great shot at winning and getting the offense going, but playing pass happy teams scares me.

Offerree Andrew Wingard out of Colorado has committed to Wyoming.

UND has offered Dyson Chmura. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/1324431/dyson-chmura http://247sports.com/Player/Dyson-Chmura-38194

Gavin Block has committed to Ohio.

Justice MacNeal, RB out of Schaumburg, IL, noted he will be visiting UND in November. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/2657705/justice-macneal

He has it set to private, but it is @prooney15.

Rooney appears to have committed. He just tweeted half hour ago that he is officially a member of the University of North Dakota football family. Welcome to the family!

My understanding is he was pretty much out the door then decided to stay.

I believe he was at one of the Elite camps this summer, and I also think the coaches have stayed in contact.

UND offered OG Patric Rooney out of Benilde St Margaret.

Speaking of track, Jack Curtis a DB that was in town last weekend, has a personal best of 6'9" in the high jump and runs 10.94 100 meters and 22.15 200 meter. Heck of an athlete - whether or not that translates to the football field is to be seen if he ends up at UND.

I will figure out the accuracy of that. Also it's possible he plays basketball in college instead.

Pretty good . Also, it wasn't noted here before but I'm pretty certain we have offered the young man.

Appears Bubba is a couple hours west of Grand Forks tonight trying to get us a QB.

Tyler Seibring has committed to Elon.

The Jacobsen twins out of Florida are taking official visits to UND on November 15th.

Hasan Muhammed-Rogers has commited to Illinois State.

Have the coaches been in contact with him?

I don't do predictions for the most part, but I will say that I believe the defense will continue it's strong play and the offense will get a little something going (maybe even get over 300 yards ). Hopefully stupid mistakes contributing to the oppositions success (bad snaps/fumbles) will be deleted from the game plan this week.

Defense 10 I believe (9 if you consider Baylee Carr the starter). Offense 7 I think.

Although I have never been and never will be a fan of his, maybe we need to move Henson back over to NG for some depth and have Brandon Miller start at RG.
