I'd say SDSUs best passing weapon is their TE. He's big and very athletic. He's the kind of TE we need.

No prediction from me. I don't know what this team is made of yet. SDSU is very beatable though. The game will be won by us on the special teams with kicking and good returns if we do win. Who knows, maybe the team comes alive and rolls on Saturday. The talent is there, time to execute.

Just remember Bohl couldn't coach his way out of a wet paper bag going into 2010 and now look at him. They about to erect a statue of a giant golden cue ball in his honor.

How does Belichik interview? Loads of charisma right? There's more than one way to get the job done.

That's what I was thinking. QBs transition well to other positions. And who knows what position we're looking at him for. Also I'd like to see video of Vernon Adams in high school. I bet he was pretty raw himself.

That poor kid has a terrible offensive line. He's running for his life half the time. I'd rather go for Wilke before him.

Ill make no predictions on this season or have a feel for things in general until I see how this next game goes. That said, playoffs or bust.

It's blowing my mind that this isn't in purple.

Lower ceiling and metal walls make a huge difference. The noise gets bounced down onto the field.

You actually don't?

They're a run first and second team. Make no mistake about it. They just wanted to polish up the passing game to keep teams off balance.

I've been looking for highlights where did you find them?

Anyone know why this is still a thread?

Can't understate how big of an advantage that is. Hopefully he's improved his motion and lands in our laps.

Last time we played SDSU and got our asses kicked on a miserable day a player told me they had the meanest most physical offensive line they've ever played against. I expect them to open holes from time to time no matter how good the d plays. It's just up to the LBs and safeties to make the plays when that happens.

Never said it mattered. Just answered a question about size. 3-4 defenses have bigger players. Size doesn't matter nearly as much as being good at football, agility, flexibility, speed, body composition, toughness, and awareness. It does help though.

Our DBs are small for the most part. LBs are good sized/big. DL has some big boys. OL is big but pretty lean. RBs are small. QBs are big. WRs are small and big. Our kickers are big too, Zeb is built like an LB. it might be the unis and a few really small guys here and there. As a team we're actually bigger than NDSU.

He could be the real deal. Plus we have an in with his dad bring a former player I believe.

I recorded the game and watched it again. The defense hardly ever blitzed and played pretty conservative overall. I assume Kotelnicki being the smart dude he is was not willing to show his best cards for sdsu to have on film when he knew full well they didn't need it to win.

And the year before their defense sucked. Alot can improve in a year if a couple guys step up.

Timing. Had we moved up at the same time they wouldn't have had the pick of the litter with recruits along with NDSU. We were behind the 8 ball up until this last class with recruiting against them and ndsu. Now that we are starting to look more like a D1 program the cream of the crop recruits from common areas shared by the dakota schools will be dispersed between the 4 schools instead of those two taking them all. Basically we screwed the pooch on timing and its set us back at least 5 years and we're just now getting out of that.

He's 240 for a reason. He lifts extra. That's why he broke the wr squat record as a rs fr.

I'm not worried. He's not hurt. He'll be one of the best wrs in the league this year. Just wait a little longer and watch him play.

I've never been so excited for UND to play a terrible team. I'm about ready to run through a brick wall for this season to start already.

Balance is the key to keeping a good defense off balance. We need to be able to run and pass against them to keep them honest. They're too good to be one dimensional against. But I do agree that our big advantage over them will be our WR, the likes of which they don't see in their run oriented conference.
