Speaking of Golladay, Northern Illinois had 19 completions spread among 8 receivers in their first game and Golladay had none of the receptions. Wonder if he's injured or just didn't play. Hard to believe he's not one of their 8 best receivers.
Welcome to the Sioux Nation! If he's anywhere near being as good as you say, he'll be the steal of the year and may be the anchor we're looking for to lead what we anticipate will be a greatly improved defense this season. I hope he has a very profitable three years at UND and enjoys the experience as much as I think he will. Again, welcome to the Sioux Nation and perhaps we'll run into each other at the home opener, if you plan on attending, as I plan on driving up from Missouri.
I think we should schedule one every year, as I think the advantages, such as exposure and a nice financial boost to the budget, outweigh the disadvantages, such as the threat of being blown out. Utah, Washington, etc., are fine, but I'd much rather see us schedule some Big 12 teams (closer to home than the Texas schools)..
It's great that the BSC is having their annual meeting at UND so that, amongst other things, they can see what fantastic facilities we have (and will have). In a way, it would have been nice to have had the meetings at UND next year so that they could have seen the IPF nearly finished and the new $130 million (?) Medical School under construction.
That's two potentially decent quarterbacks (Riddle and Palandech) that we've lost from the 2013 class, so I'd imagine Bubba will attempt to bring in two QB's in the next recruiting class to give us some depth the following season. Not thinking a dropdown unless neither Bartles nor Mollberg prove themselves this season.
From what I've read on Gopher Hole, it sounds like the kid we got from Minnesota could be a real difference maker on defense the next three seasons. Could be a great get.
So far, so good, I think, and I don't believe we're quite finished, yet, either. As you've alluded to, all things considered, especially the late start that the staff got, on paper, at least, this class has exceeded expectations.
