I love it!! The start of college football is so epic because week #1, everyone is undefeated. As players and 'extensions' of players (family) this is the expectation, run the table. If the players aren't thinking this, might as well not put the pads on. See you in GF!!

I don't recall many 1 and 3 step passes in the past, is this a trick question? You've been non stop mad crushing about a dominate O-line, it's unhealthy to obsess about it.....ha ha!!! All I am saying is you play with the guys you have. Danny can help the O-line out simply by his approach to offense.

You have to include catching the ball, especially when a short pass is 'equivalent' to a run play. Drops kill drives. We will have a series of plays that to be honest, the O-line doesn't really need to block that much. It's called getting the ball out quickly. The seven step drop with 4 seconds of perfect pass protection passing scheme has left the building.

Actually, the old timers had some pretty tough Big 10 teams on their schedule. So hardest schedule in history is a stretch but in recent history debatable. 2019 looks to be pretty salty.

Is it easy to look at the schedule as a whole and crap your pants.....luckily we take things day by day and even that might get us looking too far ahead. If we focus hour by hour and put our best effort forward I think we can do better than what most are thinking. I agree it's the hardest schedule in program history.

I think what we'll see is different players each week having a lot of success. By his own definition of offense the Fruend system will take our best players in the best match ups and attempt to exploit it. That might be Mckinney scatting around one game, JJ pounding the next with O line push, the Jets on the outside the next, and Gordon with his mix of skills the following, and even the TE position should see a break out of sorts multiple games. So I expect things to be 'somewhat' rounded with one of the aforementioned outweighing the others and being the key to our success each game offensively. We will no longer apply an offensive blanket philosophy and run it out regardless of the defensive scheme and personnel. Also, the notion of balance offense being 50% run and 50% pass is 50% stupid (Mike Leach) will ring true this year. A short pass or series of short passes could easily take some carries away from the RB's, but with them still involved.

About 1.73 meters-

Why wouldn't I??

Rudy would be all over this kid and his development as a blocking TE.........moving on I hope Danny can land the guys he wants based on his vision that so far, is just a vision. But I have a lot of confidence in the offense under him.

A huge negative with the FCS poll is losses don't seem to bother ranked teams much and 'good' losses won't even drop a team at all, so that makes it hard for teams to move up. So I'd rather have a spot at the table to start.

Norther Iowa is way too low at 17. They can't start there and have 6 losses and make the play-offs......or can they!!

I think Griebel is an option. And you forgot Gordon. And the freshman coming in could surprise, too if healthy as I know he's coming off a knee injury. I don't think the situation is totally bleak but I am bummed about Otis.

As of this very moment in time the UND Side would have 2.0 (or the GPA to be eligible, maybe it is 2.5) NDSU side has to have Ben Newman slamming a "Clean Victory" But, I suppose a broader look will be required.

A lot of football players are eligible so they can/could play, take that away and what's the point. Maybe I was with a bad student/athlete group but for the most part, guys could barely stomach the student part of student athlete. You just have to man up and get it done Otis, like many have done before you.
