Saturday looks like another nice day to tailgate and then get into the Alerus and make some noise!

I think so!

Brady O on track for another 1,000 yard rushing season. Leading rusher has 2 games played on him. He also has 44 receptions for 365 yards. Winnipeg has bounced back from a slow start and is now 7-6. Evan Holm sits at 10th in tackles: Side note, a lot of names FCS fans will recognize for QB leaders. Bo Levi Mithcell (Eastern Washington, though UND didn't face him), Jake Maier (UC Davis), Bethel Thompson (Sac State), Vernon Adams (Eastern Washington), and further down Streveler.

Not from last year, but George Natsvishvili intrigues me. Anyone know if he's been practicing? I thought someone said there were enrollment issues? Listed at 6' 10" on the roster (other places I keep seeing 6' 8"), left-handed, can handle and shoot the 3. He's 20 years old as well so not a typical freshman.

Exactly what this team needs is a lights out, Matt Norman type shooter (in addition to Eaglestaff).

One thing I didn’t know is that it has a lower level that is level with the field inside the Pollard, so it’s even bigger than it looks from the outside. They’ll also be able to walk right out to the outdoor practice field on the ground level.

New softball field opens this Saturday. Looking good!

I think Romfo's arm is stronger than we've seen. If you watch his HS film, he's making some pretty long throws on the run. To my very amateur eye, when he short hops throws, it's because he doesn't get his feet set or he's rushes it just a bit. I think we need to get him throwing on the move a bit more until he's more comfortable passing with his feet set.

San Diego appears to have quite a few grad students and seniors leading the way. Definitely a team with experience. They held Cal Poly to 8 rushing yards on 18 attempts. UND is a young team and needs to be well prepared. It most likely won't be the ISU game again as sometimes things snowball on teams (38-0). QB - Grad student Top 3 RBs - Grad students WR1 - Senior WR2 - Junior WR3 - Senior Top 2 TEs - Junior and Senior OL - Junior, Junior, Grad, Junior, Senior Top 10 tacklers, in order -Senior, Grad, Senior, Junior, Grad, Senior, Grad, Soph, Senior, Senior

More of this on Saturday! Rucker torched that tackle.

San Diego beat Cal Poly for what it’s worth. They’ll be fresh off a bye. Hopefully UND has a great week of practice and takes another step forward as a team.

Someone he’s likely never even seen practice

Yes, he missed some easy throws. We get it. Still had more passing yards than any game last season and on 65.7%. Personally, I think he can correct some things and make those throws he missed. You seem to want him to fail for whatever reason.

Belquist seems to think it was the OC. There are other articles about Romfo being told by the OC hes the starter. Not hard. “He knows how to win, he knows how to control a game, and I think Coach Fruechte saw that and liked that,” Wide Receiver and Team Captain Bo Belquist said. “He played really well this fall camp. He controlled the ball, didn’t have too many turnovers, just played smart.” https://www.valleynewslive.com/2024/08/26/langdon-areas-simon-romfo-ready-lead-und-offense/

It was: Fruechte said he also looked at leadership when picking his quarterback. "We looked at the opportunity of being in front of the team and how you handle that," Fruechte said. "He does a great job communicating with our guys. He's not a loud person. He's quiet, not a rah-rah guy. He's an every-day guy who competes his butt off." https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/und-coaches-teammates-label-simon-romfo-as-tough-consistent-and-a-winner

Etsu had soooo many chances to end it lol

Not sure what point you’re making here?

What does being from ND have to do with it? schuster was from Michigan and he played a few games.

Tell that to the OC who played in the NFL.

Romfo had some bad throws that should be easy throws, but finished 25/38 (65.7%) for 287 yards and two TDs. He’s got a ton to improve on obviously, but I’m sure he’s aware of that. Side note: career high for Bo today. Guess there was some sort of passing game? Jerry will get his chance. I do wish they got him in much sooner. Not sure what the thinking was there.

2-1! Tons to get better at, but 52 points and lots of positives as well! Keep getting better - on to San Diego!

Man Hunt runs hard!

Rucker is a beast

Yeah get Bo out of the game please…

Great tackle to force that fumble!
