    Throwing my two cents out here: 

     

    The QB position hasn't looked good since Braden Hanson/Marcus Hendrickson. Since then, we haven't had a true #1 guy. Mollberg looked like he was getting there last year and then he got injured. Studsrud was winning games this year but he was primarily doing it on the ground. Yes he was winning, but the passing game was pretty much non-existent. Bartels ran into terrible luck last season with the injury, but this season he doesn't have that excuse and has shown absolutely nothing to inspire confidence or justify him getting another start if Studsrud can't play this upcoming weekend. I think if Studsrud can't play, the coaches have to go to Mollberg for a game, at least see what he can do now. 

     

    I'm curious what Mollberg can do, primarily because of how much different the offense is from when he was running things last year. Early last year, UND couldn't run worth a lick and so Mollberg was being asked to pretty much carry the offense. It wasn't pretty early but his decision making seemed to be getting better as he got a feel for the system. He was able to utilize the receivers we had last year. When he and Bartels went out, it was obvious the coaches wanted to protect the true freshman and put an added emphasis on the run. Don't know if it was just some serious coaching by the new o-line coach but holes started opening and Garmin showed what he could do when given a semblance of a gap. 

     

    Cut to this year and the run-heavy offense continues with the added threat of the QB run and the perpetual homerun threat of Santiago. The offense is a different creature. I'm not saying Mollberg would come in and instantly fix the passing game as there seems to be major issues with the receivers this year, but some of those receiver issues could also be on the QB play. Hard to do timing routes when the QB is late with the ball or unsure of his decision making. Also tough to stretch the field when the QB can't push the ball downfield. So stick in Mollberg (who we know is capable of chucking the pigskin), continue pounding the ball with Santiago/Oliviera, and demand a receiver wins a 1v1 battle. What do we have to lose at this point on offense?

    Had Zane come back, I honestly think this years team is better than last years. But the current goal-tending is highly suspect and the defense really needs to step up. Sure we have a lot of young forwards but our D was supposed to be one of the best nationally this year. Gotta shore that up, particularly on the PK. This is still a young season with a lot of young guys. I expect things to get better, it's just going to take some time and all the injuries aren't helping.

    It has to be pointed out that ISU has a very good offense. They aren't good because their defense sucks. Our offense isn't explosive enough on the outside to exploit them the way others have this year. We need Clive and his speed.

     why do we need Clive? So that we can underthrow him all game? We had one play with a wr alone behind the secondary and it was grossly underthrown by a qb who had time. Give me a wr that can run a 10-20 yard route and actually get separation.

    Yes, it is buffering.... espn 3 not problems - this pile of crap site - has buffered all season for me.  Big Sky took a bit step back with this service.

    Completely agree with this. Don't remember these constant problems last year.
