The Bobcats are making changes to their defense and mentioned how much UND improved in one year. I found this post and a few others like it. from the bobcat nation fan board "I was hopping somebody would bring this up. In 2013 UND's defense was horrific, new coach, new scheme and ATTITUDE and they were among the best in the Big Sky just one year later. It can turn around and turn around very quickly. If UND had any offense they might have won the Big Sky last year. Watch out for them, they are building something pretty good I think!" Bubba has made an impression.

Yes. Pretty stout front 7 and should be better this year. Secondary should be much better as well. Scoring defense should be lower if we don't turn the ball over on offense like we did last year. Very encouraged with the recruits we are bringing in.

Some interesting stats from last.

Two interesting reads on Watford City school http://www.watfordcitynd.com/?id=10&nid=3080 http://bakken.com/news/id/232893/growing-pains-oil-boom-turns-prairie-school-melting-pot/ It is amazing what is happening in the Watford City school.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/change-illegal-man-downfield-rule-could-boost-defenses-010948370--ncaaf.html Interesting article on this. Question, How will this rule affect or offense and defense? Montana's new head coach Stitt is quoted in the article. Montana will have a different offense this year from past offenses for sure.

Good one. Another one could be road grader. Because is going to clear a path for sure.

No I don't. Grady has all the tool to be a very tough match up for any of the teams in the Big Sky. Grady may not even play next season. But he will be fun to watch as other teams defense try to handle him. I think Grady will plow a few holes for first downs. Brady O will enjoy following for first downs.

You are correct the sky is the limit. However the Big Sky is not the limit for sure. His playing time in the Big Sky is going to be fun to watch.

I bet the deer was trying to run away from him.

Can you say tackle eligible

I really like Bubba's confidence in the recruiting process. This class will be special and some will step in and make us better from the start. Our defense will even better than last year. The offense will chew up the clock with big play options when needed. So looking forward to being in WY and getting our first win next year.

UND football link. live chat.

Greer signed. looooooking gooood

Patrick Rooney is the second to sign

Nope Iwarri Smith is the first.

Well who is the first to fax in NLI. My guess Brady Oliveira.

Keys commits to Ohio university.

I like the class so far and a couple of nice surprises would be icying on the cake.

Any word on recruits having a visit this weekend. Sooooo looking forward to next Tuesday.

Needed 3 more stops down the stretch

Tough breaks. Need to make them down the stretch.

Agree

Defense needs to make some stops

UND good hustle and better rebounding this game. shanks looks good.

I'm thinking Vernon is looking more like a duck.
