I think that aside from seniors, golladay, d. brown, and Harris are the only guys that have left that hurt the team. Although other players may have been good additions on the field, they didn't raise the team chemistry or GPA.

Sparks is last on depth chart and that’s his reason for leaving. Rich and Rashad got scholarship reduced and decided to leave. Palendach realized he would not play. Lyons is gone because of reduced scholarship. Winfeldt is gone due to medical reasons.

The guys that left will be missed on the field, but definitely not in the locker room or off the field. From talking to current and former players, the only ones that were liked by everyone are brown, Harris, Peterson, and isenberger

Adams quit mid season. After blowing out his knee multiple times I hear he finally gave it up. Not sure about the Mossman rumor, was talking to a few older alum and that was something being thrown around

Few notable losses since muss got the boot: OL Dustin Adams quit OL Darren Peterson quit OL Joel Isenberger transfer to Winona St. OL Rashad Williams possible transfer DL Mike Edwards transfer to Western Iowa (JC) CB Daryl Brown transfer to Duluth CB Rumeal Harris transfer to Mankato S Ryan Cain possible transfer WR Aaron Carr thinking about transfer WR jameer Jackson transfer to Mankato WR Kenny Golladay transfer to NIU Rumor Muss becomes OC at NDSU

Hoerchner to guard over Meehan. Being a senior I'm sure he would give more of an effort than younger guys. Or kleasin to guard and Barton at tackle

freshman do not attend any sort of meetings during the season other than mandatory team meetings. study table is easy to get done because you can chip away at the hours thoughout the week while in between classes. most classes that freshman take are easy, freshman year classes. freshman are excused from conditioning if they give good looks in scouts. morning workouts are Tuesdays and Thursdays which are grueling. Fridays they have a workout while the upperclassman are traveling to an away game. they also lift sunday evening. freshman weights is only hard if you have guys who skip reps, have a bad attitude, or someone gets in trouble over the weekend. not saying that freshman year is easy, because having to adjust to something completely new is difficult, your first year typically isn't as hard on your body as the other years.

Kleason is a natural guard. Put him at RG and then move deneui to left tackle cause of his experience. If you played Barton next to Kleason, it would make him better just by playing next to someone with so much experience

Since the lack of offense boils down to the offensive line, why not try some new guys in there. It wouldn't hurt to shuffleguys around to new spots or try other people. Like I said, this unit is not performing well enough to ignite either a run or pass game

I've been reading this forum for the past few weeks and it seems that alot of changes need to be made. Start with personnel... Offense Qb: why doesn't bartles get a chance to play a full game. Mollberg hasn't been getting the job done. Rb: sure Jake miller has speed, but he showed he cannot pass protect and lacks the ability to break tackles. Has sparks seen the field at all this season? Varner shows good speed also. Maybe they lack the vision Ol: what should have been one of the stronger parts of this team has shown multiple flaws. Can't control LOS and can't stop a 4 man rush. Why not try Barton at tackle? Joe Kleason was a guard before his Injury last season...wouldn't hurt to try. Walker has had multiple penalties past few games that cost points. Is Hoerchner much worse? Te: Adler is only one I've noticed in games. Don't use this position enough Wr: for all the hype this group generated last season and before this season, not at all impressed with all American Hardin. Jackson has played hard all year however. This group needs to start making the highlight plays they are capable of making Defense Don't have the right guys for this scheme which is problem number 1. Dl: soft and gets manhandled by opposing offensive line. Edwards would be best option at nose. Cummings and Stanchik play slow. Turn this into a 4 man line with Stanchik and summings at ends, Henson and Edwards at the interior Inside lbs: Goodman flies around with no fear. Peters needs to be able to tackle better. Would be nice to see some younger guys in here Outside lbs: Bennett has played great last few weeks and Finley is coming back from a tough injury. Idowu and hickel have improved and played like one would expect 2nd string. What about reineke or Rich?? Corners: soft play and get beat way too often. Many more issues but those are biggest Safeties: love kuksa on the field. Kid is a missle. Carr has ups and downs but seems to know the defense. Sure would be nice to see butler in the game more often. Biggest one in the secondary and extremely athletic. Time to give some others a chance because the guys who have been on the field Re not getting it done. Don't know how many more games I will be able to watch which kills me because I am a proud alum.
