that didn't make sense

They will be. After Hardin and McGill are gone we will have Jackson, Bridges, Golladay, Fletcher, Oliver, and probably the next crop added on. Thats 3 6-3 guys a 6-4 guy and a 5-8 guy. Great size and playmaking ability along with a super quick slot guy who will make people miss. Hopefully they recruit a guy or two with breakaway speed to compliment these guys. I'm more worried about the defense our offense will be great for years.

He's a member of your board and stops by to kiss ass from time to time.

Don't forget about the other freshman. I've heard Fletcher is the real deal and has a great work ethic. Expect him to be a beast.

Welch is playing DT right now, maybe they should slide him over and he would make a nice BIG DE. Cummings has nice size but needs to get alot faster and quicker. When I saw some practices in fall camp Edwards looked like the best DT on the team by far, he just needs to keep developing his massive strength and unreal quickness and gain better consistency and conditioning. Don't be surprised to see him on Sundays, no joke.

And d line, they got two cornerstone types in Edwards and Carrothers last year but they need more to replace the seniors. It doesn't seem like the younger D linemen seem like anything to get excited about other than the two true freshman I mentioned.

You'd think it'd be the entire conference, they wouldn't be the only terrible teams in that subdivision

If it goes three tiers you can bet the Big Sky would move up to the second tier

So..... technically we can still make the playoffs by winning the conference. For that to happen hell would have to freeze over and EWU loses to PSU Davis SUU and Sac St Poly loses to PSU Sac St NAU and Idaho St NAU loses to SUU Idaho St UNC and Davis Montana St loses to UND Montana and PSU Davis loses to PSU PSU loses to UNC SUU loses to UND and Weber St Montana loses to UND UND loses to nobody Odds of this happening are ridiculous to say the least, so you're sayin there's a chance?

They only way to win with DaveKay is to not respond

I've seen others of his and he's always full of it and never has a clue what he's actually talking about. Bison fans love him cause he kisses their asses

The football gameplan guy means well but usually is talking out of his ass based only on stats and assumptions

He hasn't been getting enough playing time at WR. Way too talented and athletic not to be on the field. He was a good DB back in Texas in high school. But can he tackle?

It'd be nice to see a few JUCO guys to bridge the gap and fill holes in the d. A DB or two a MLB and a DE would be nice. And not the Joey Bradley type of JUCO, more like that one LB and the DB Gatlin that NDSU got a few years ago.

Nobody is saying that the offense or special teams suck. In fact, the special teams is very good in alot of aspects and the offense is outstanding. It's the defense that is pissing people off. We all know that you can't do a damn thing without a good defense. If our D were to give the offense 6 stops a game we would be undefeated right now. That is how good the offense is and how bad the defense is. The end result is a team that is in every game but can't close teams out because they can't stop them. And on nights when things don't go right for the offense and we get a few bad luck plays EWU happens. This team could be great but thanks to the defense they're far from it.

Answer. A Mike Tomlin type coach. With a dc like bubba.

You guys have been on almost every board talking about this. I do think Bauman is better. But Deonte is a very different back, he's much more smooth and a little faster. Bauman has those rare subtle shakes between jukes that can't be taught and breaks more than just ankles. Both guys are stronger than they appear and have good vision. You can't go wrong with either one but it's still Bauman. Just go on undsports.com and listen to the post game interview with Dom Bennett and he'll tell you how good Bauman is.

Unfortunately I don't think Mussman commands the respect from the players not only for him as a head coach but the program

Last years run defense was phenomenal. Against d1 teams. Sdsu wouldn't have scored as many points but neither would last years team. Same story against Poly and Sac St and NAU. I'm not saying they would've won but the d wouldn't get run over. Pass defense was the same.

It wasn't the obvious call. Just because the result wasn't great because Golladay didn't run the route properly doesn't mean it was a bad call. The same could be said about that 4th and 1 call against usd, only it worked out.

I noticed him too. He needs to play more. Henson isn't big or strong enough to handle the job in a 3-4.

It's becoming very apparent how good that last crop of 'D2' defenders were at tackling and also how clutch Goska was. The guy couldn't throw to save his life for 3 quarters and then the 4th would roll around with the team having their collective backs against the wall and he would always mount a late charge. It wasn't always enough to win (Poly game Bradley dug too deep a hole for him) but more than not it was. He was one of the best leaders I've seen under center at UND even with such a small sample.

Pretty big difference from #2, the point is that bad teams inherently increase their strength of schedule by giving their opponents wins. Look at the other teams on the list, for the most part they suck.
