Frankly I don’t care who it revolves around. Take what they give us and win.

Turning to? The papers used to be called rags for a reason.

Are you suggesting that players don’t have a birds eye view like the fans do?

I disagree on the run opening. They crashed to him hard. Zero chance he runs for that first down. If Belquist finds that soft spot to Schusters right instead of trying to go straight up field and it’s an easy toss to him for the first down.

And 1 should have cut to the sideline instead of hiding behind the defender. Would’ve been an easy pitch and catch that way.

Like a lot of PWOs there’s no hype for these kids and maybe they end up starting. Not expecting either to be a Joe Schobert or anything though.

Don’t NFL teams do it?

Kai Henry isn’t on their team anymore if that’s who you were talking about.

Don’t think he’s an OLB. Ted Mullen will see a ton more action now. MVJ as well. Next man up.

Gotta get Boltman back in peoples’ heads for that play to really really work. They keyed on his motion hard.

It’s like they had a Hergele copy on deck in case that fell through. I like what I see. Wish we could’ve gotten Hergele though.

Lol, syzirmple quezsstchun

Looks like he can absolutely fly.

Alerus gon alerus

I know Mussman teams aren’t super popular in these parts but his teams always ran a really nice 2 min offense. It usually looked better than the real offense even. Would’ve been nice to execute at that level to get some points.

I would have preferred if he ran and slid. Good opportunity for a late hate on the slide there.

I always thought Cochise by audioslave would make for a great entrance song.

Tommy has a much stronger arm IMO.

First team all conference soph. Tommy Dangerfield.

Mr homer, lol. I’ve offered many a critique on this program.

Of course it is. We’re still trying to build our program into an FCS powerhouse. And still have some of the same issues as the past.

Off the charts

How many plays have we had where his arm strength just wasn’t enough? And/or who’s downfield deep threat ability is being squandered if the playbook is reduced for his tiny little arm?

And millennials are getting sooooo many annoying texts and calls all day about how to fix it.

So we all know NDSU has had a filthy defense basically every year since 2011. Every, single, season, since 2011 they’ve held opponent to an avg ppg under 20. Even last year. 2013 they avg 11.3 pot against…… that’s peak filth. For perspective, we haven’t done this a single time as a D1 program. NOT ONCE. Our best defensive seasons have been 2011 - 20.4, 2016 - 22.0, and 2020(spring) 21.0. So far we are sitting at 19.5 after giving up 48 to Utah st. 10ppg vs FCS at this point. What I’m getting at is the fact that our defense has straight up sucked for the entirety of our d1 existence. The corner stone of this program needs to be defense. Wanna see a deep playoff run? The defense better start avg way < 20ppg. Win a title? Get that below 16ppg. NDSU never won a title without doing just that. We’ve got a lot of work to do defensively.
