Just cause he was productive doesn't mean he wasn't a diva. Much like some of the seniors from football this past year, good riddance. The program will be better with a cohesive team that plays hard always and plays together.
They also mentioned that the coaches are just plain better and that guys understand what they need to do within the scheme 10x better. Let's hope they can unleash guys like Ratelle and Labat and Norberg.
Had a good conversation with a couple of people in the program today. They talked about how much more organized the new staff is and how clear Bubba's vision is. It's rubbing off on the players and it's basically what they were waiting for from Mussman.
I'm not sure they've underachieved so greatly. They just aren't a dominant team. The older players aren't very talented and the young guys can't carry the team.
We beat NDSU by 20 because they played terrible and Braun tried to be a one man show. It was not an indication that we were that much better. Play them 10 times and that's the only result of that nature.
I'm sure he will. I hope he put on a good 20 lbs, he was rail thin when he got here. The good thing is it obviously didn't effect his mobility. Plus doesn't Rudolph like having a mobile QB?
In semi related news Dustin Iverson is up to 255...... Big boy and athletic. Anyone interested in this stuff check out Nate Baukols twitter, he's got plenty of videos of players lifting. For example Rattelle did a 374 lb split jerk.
