I say yes this year. I think we could have 2 or 3 possible. Then again it may be a committee approach and we have a few with many yards but no one with a 1,000. My best guess will be Iwarri Smith. His speed and quickness will provide him the tools to gain large chunks of yards per play. We saw how Jer rushed the last few games. I think the line is ready to open some holes for the RB's.

Good sounds like Bubba ball to me.

I hope you are right. if that is the case we should be able to pound the rock.

No doubt this will be the toughest match for UND. The Bison have many weapons. Will UND be able to bring pressure on Wentz? Will UND be able to force the Bison into 3rd and long? Will the UND CB's be able to cover? Will UND be able to move the ball on offense? many ? This game could be a blow out or it could come down to FG. We really just don't know. I do know our defense will be better than last year. more depth and experience for sure. Offense should also improve, how much is a big ??. Just happy for the opportunity to play the best and hope we play our best.

Nice video. really look forward to this team creating many more highlights. Both offense and defense.

This recruits Bubba and staff have brought in are cohesive. this is so important in building a top notch winning team. sooner rather than later.

I agree I believe UND will be a good fit for Jahmere and Jahmere will be a good fit UND. Welcome aboard to UND Jahmere.

BigSky freshman of the year would not surprise me.

Returning either the best or 2nd best defense in the league last year. 9 of 11 return starters and picked to be 9th. We do have much to prove that defense wins championships.

UND has much upside in this poll. I wonder if we could get some takers on placing higher than 9th place?

That is good to know as well when I get my tickets. See you at the game.

Thanks, that is good to know. Since it is Labor Day weekend some people probably have other plans and want to sell their tickets.

Interesting I thought their single game ticket go on sale in August. I called the ticket office a couple of weeks ago. I plan on 6 or 7 coming from Williston.

I Just bought my tickets for the Montana game. Endzone seating row 5. Looking forward to this game.

I would not like to be Idaho St. coming into the Alerus this season. UND could make Idaho St. offense look ugly.

There were many plays of the game. But Studs made a move there and the lumberjack left his jock on the field on that play.

In Bubba we Trust. enough said

I agree with this. First games will give both teams a better view of the ?'s.

Five BigSky teams in the preseason poll. We play four of them and 1st place NDSU. http://www.fcsgameday.com/news/archives/fcsgameday2015preseasontop25

Can't argue with that.

I agree. Ratelle should have made the 3rd team for sure. I can't believe Wentz didn't make first team. I'm Ratelle was over looked because lack of exposure during playoffs. Not sure how Wentz was missed.

Lol. Most have auto correct.

A couple of nights ago, I watched the NAU vs UND from last year that I recorded. The OL was fine on that game. Garman rushed for over 200 yards. Studrud did a fine job at QB Managed to slip thru a blitz near the end of the game to complete a pass that set up the winning FG. No turnovers or botched snaps. The RB did miss a couple of Blitzs that resulted in sacks and stalled drives in the second half. The OL opened holes and set up some nice runs. Studsrud didn't look like a freshman QB with 3 weeks on running the Offense.

Ok. I will go out on a limb. yes UND will be 4-0 in conference play heading to Missoula. 5-2 overall. mostly likely a loss to Montana. Return home and beat MSU and N Colorado. Travel to cal poly as tied for conference leader at 6-1. 7-3 overall. a win secures conference share of title and playoff. a loss and we are on the bubble for a playoff position.

He looks like he would be a good get.
