Anyone know if UND is looking at Dennis Johnson's son Casey? He scored an absolutely sick game winner last night against Red River and is a great skater. Reminds me a bit of Marto just not as good of a supporting cast.
The underlying socio cultural theme is undeniable regardless of if people like to hear it or not. It's about more than just race though, there are plenty of black players, Shaugs and others, who are mature and loyal and have not only commitment but can see the big picture. It's more of where the kids are from than what color their skin is though....
Tyrhe Ivery, RJ McGill, Aeron Carr, Anthony Fletcher, Casey Young, Jake Disterhaupt, Roman Bridges. There are a lot more quality athletes at wr. If Kenny leaves we'll be fine, just not as good.
With Jackson leaving and possibly Golladay, which I hope doesn't happen, look for Tyrhey Ivery to return to WR for his senior season. Remember he made huge plays as a fr wr.
The offense should have been 'fine'. The problem was nobody could have foreseen how pathetic the OL ended up being. Not saying one of the qbs would have won the Jerry Rice but they would have been much better with good protection and a running game.
Chappell was only on relays when they wanted to qualify a relay for state when he was a senior. He was a guaranteed 40 points each meet so the coach had him in all individual the majority of the time. At state his senior year team Chappell would have gotten 4th at state if I remember correctly. By himself he was a top give track team at state.
Don't forget the progression made by Marcus Hendrickson from that game at Montana to his first start against PSU. Night and day would be an understatement. These kids were FR and were given way too much on their plate with a !@#$ OL. They'll be much better next year and the year after that and the year after that.
I've yet to see a RB in person with such easy top end speed and instant acceleration. Those backs we saw were quick but none had devastating break away speed.
