The big difference is in the return game. Dressler was great Hardin is good. Dressler was faster but obviously shorter and didn't have the 'go get it' ability of Hardin

soooo Sac St....

They are a nightmare matchup for us.... We'll need one hell of a pass rush in that game

Ive seen Javen covering kicks but he must still be a little raw with the scheme

EWU will have 3 dogs in this fight. We will get to see them up close.

Now let's have a defense do something so we can talk about them in a positive light and run the damn ball for some balance that will allow us to succeed in bad weather

Maybe move Mersereau to cb? He's fast enough and would be a big strong corner. He's a finesse player anyway so I'd rather have that at cb than safety.

It's bobbled slightly so yes you can overturn it

That would be awesome if Marcus is able to make enough of an impression to get a look at the NFL. Hanson will get a look so that could be two in one year which would be unheard of.

He is a true pocket passer. Marcus is one of the fastest guys on the team, no comparison as far as mobility goes. Hanson does have very good pocket awareness though

To me it looked like he didn't real it in completely until his left foot touched down out of bounds. Either way, you can't blame the officials for the pick 6 or the running into the punter or the missed tackles.

When a coach says 'week to week, month to month' that is not good at all. That means they have no timetable other than what his body shows them. You'd think his ankle would've healed by now so something must not have gone right.

Oooohhh reeeaaaalllllyyyy??? Thanks for that. Now watch the clip without your green and piss goggles on.

I hope so... he would've been nice to have last night.

Tell that to the hogs

I have to believe that last night will light a fire under the ass of the entire defense and they bring the right nasty attitude to the rest of the games and punish our opponents from here on out.

Or Hanson... I hope it's Marcus this week and then Braden thereafter but who knows

Point is that anyone who played at a high level understands that the time is spent on the mental side of the game in practice. Not going live, not doing tackling drills, working on scheme. UND recruits players who know how to tackle. These players who are playing D this year had no problem tackling last year, God knows why they can't seem to do it this year.

Looking at that 'TD' to the TE his foot was out and the refs missed it in the review. Can't leave it to the reffs.......

Did you play college football?

This week UND makes a return trip to Cali with bad intentions. To open up Big Sky play with a win will be huge. Sac St. is 2-1 with a loss at New Mexico St (19-49) a win at garbage Colorado (30-28) with a late FG and a win at home against Northern Colorado (28-17) This team has shown ability to be very good but also mediocre. On the season they have 2-1 passing to rushing yards and convert on 3rd down at a rate of 33%. Their QB Garrett Safron is 64 of 102 with 2 ints and 6 TDs on 62.7% for 802 yards on the year. Ezekiel Graham is the leading rusher with 51 carries for 226 yards and 1 TD. Their D is giving up 31.4 per game and 294 yards/game passing and 110 yards/game rushing.

And he is SICK

It's not an excuse for the tackling but they don't teach tackling in college that's for high school and pop warner. When you go to a college you're supposed to know how to tackle, they can't waste valuable practice time on form tackling. It was on the players for making it an issue but now on the coaches to fix it.

Wrong. It did last year for us with Fresno.

More than that we need to be able to run the damn ball, simple as that. A good run game is a defenses best friend, just ask NDSU. T.O.P. = fresh defense.
