Has anyone seen any of these ND recruits play or at least know how good they are?

I blame the oline period. Joe also didn't improve like he should have so I'm glad they put Bartels back in there and he looks like a totally different player. But the oline play has not been good enough once this year.
I think a point could be made that if we had this years defense last year we would have had at least 2 more wins (SDSU and NAU or Cal Poly). The defense obviously isn't very good still which was made clear against MSU Montana and SDSU. Unlike last year they have gotten off the field when they needed to in a lot of games and have tackled way better. I'm not say at all that this is good enough though. Until we are getting pissed about giving up 300 yards in a game our defense will be a work in progress.

I'd say 7 in a career is pretty damn good. I takes 3 points of the board and is as good as a fumble recovery. He took 21 points off the board by being a beast, nothing moral about that just ask Central Arkansas if it was a moral victory when he blocked two of their fg to win a game.
Apparently the only word you read was game changer. Read the whole post or don't respond. Your responses don't even make sense because you didn't actually read my post.
Then throw out the game vs a D2 from last year. The point is that the offense not helping the defense nearly as much as last year and the defense is still doing better.
