Agree. Depth is thin and injuries could change the outcome of any games.

I have followed their blog as well. They have no idea how much the defense improved last year from the previous. I think the offense will make great strides this year compared to last year. I would be surprised if any team this year scores more than 30 on us. If it does happen it will be because of TO's.

Good catch. I was more surprised than Montana was ranked higher than Montana St. First poll I have seen than this year. I think Montana will rank higher MSU at the end of the year. I'm not sold that MSU will have a defense yet.

Interesting poll No surprise NDSU #! EWU #9 Montana #17 Montana ST #25 UND #73 http://herosports.com/college-rankings/d1-fcs-football-rankings/

I believe UND defense will keep it competitive as long as we don't lose the turnover battle. I really hope we don't have any major injuries. Definitely want to stay healthy for the conference play.

I think Wyoming will be much improved from last year. They have a better QB this year that will provide ore offense. They secondary will be young but fast. UND will need a lot breaks to win this game. This will be a good match up for our defense to test our secondary. I will be interested how the OL does and our running game against a good DL.

No TV for this game at all.

Thanks Colter

We will need to pack the house and make it loud.

I agree. Now if he would pick UND over the Bobcats this year, his predictions would improve. I think Oct 31st will be a scary night for the Bobcats in the Alerts.

Colter didn't do a good job of predicting UND's season last year. That could be understandable because our defense surprised many including many UND fans. He is very impressed with Ratelle and he should be. I have read many of his articles and listened to his podcasts and h e has some good info on other teams in the conference. For us junkies this helps pass the time until the season starts.

How about Vashon Tucker. Do you think he will have his shirt pulled. Probably hard to tell since he came late to camp.

Thanks Teeder this made for a nice week.

thanks

I just finished watching the clip of camp. question who is number 39? I don't see it on the roster.

Cricket????

Yes it is the preseason. NAU received 74 votes and we beat them last year. the poll will look quite different about week 6.

Dane mentioned he is interested in medicine. He just may have interest in UND as well.

I was a bit surprised about Studsrud. He only played 4 games. However he was QB while beating ranked NAU and won on the road at UNC. I would Tauberman will make the list and maybe Greeley and Reyes. I doubt we have any in the top 20. personally I would have Retells in the top twenty rather than 49.

I agree he sure looks like he wants to hit someone.

That will help the running game. Thanks for the updates.

I agree on the mobility factor. Keaton made some nice moves in the NAU game that neither of the other QB's would have made, imho. Plus another time he was sacked and held on to the ball, no fumble. Keaton impresses me. I will be happy with Bubba's and Paul's decision on who will lead the team the best.
