I think we will play our base personnel but schematically will have some different packages. One of our OLB's is a former safety, Palmborg and another Ray Haas, is a rangy 6'5" 220 lb guy who was described to me as "could be a top player on the team at multiple positions" At inside backer, if Disterhaupt stays inside, he can run with anyone as he sprints with the top 4-5 on the team in team workouts. (sprint groups are arranged by speed) So we will give Utah 3 down, 5 on the line, with 3,4,5, or 6 coming each play, but most times 4,5. We don't often rush 3 and lay back, that's not our style.

Good read!! I will let you know how our corners match up after the game. I loved the Utah game vrs Bama!! And it wasn't that close of a game (just like the experts said, although for Bama), Utah had Bama on it's heals from the 1st drive. I'd say your coaches out coached and the players out played even though Bama was probably man for man on paper a better team. I made the point earlier that UND needs to out coach and out scheme Utah to have a chance, much like Utah did vrs. Bama. And this won't be easy as the Utah staff is really solid. Do you know how many 3-4 defenses you typically face in a year?

Football will stand on it's own 2 feet, season tickets up 842. I don't think forced participation will be on the committees agenda. I have no problem with an extra incentive for those that want to be at both events, I actually like this. For those that only go to 1 football game, and it's only because of a hockey game admission, maybe football will open their eyes to a good time. For those so hockey brainwashed that think football is beneath them, do me a favor and stay home.

Closer than a 1 point difference in the poll?

Says CNN Sports Network.

I am impressed with his skill set and size as a junior. He will light it up this year, some fbs interest wouldn't surprise.

I hear ya - I hope our players don't cry about every little thing they don't 100% agree with -

I said to myself, looks like about as athletic as a long-snapper......then I open your attached site up, long snapper!!

Anyone know the history of recovery from an Achilles tear, if that's what it is?

For the record I've always hated morning workouts and think they are total bull$%!#. Does anyone really think these guys are going to go to bed at 9:00 PM and rest up for a 6:00 AM workout?? In reality guys barely drag their ass to these, do the minimum to get thru the workout, then during the school year head back to bed and skip class.

The break out between tailgating, in game experience, and the Alerus center itself brings each sub committee to around 10 persons, that's my understanding. I hope they do well.

My understanding on Blair- very good feet, very good run blocker, even at 265, but at 265 pass blocking is concern in that he gets lifted, and when a d lineman gets an o lineman off balance it's over. So at 265, it's tough to say Blair is an every down type tackle. I don't know his current weight. I think 275 - 280 would be the goal this year but as of spring he wasn't close to that.

I think 2, but a little hesitant to crown Grady as starting RT. Ryan Tobin has a chance to play this year. Good to have some depth this year.

......mom's clothes iron to put the letters on??

So is Cole #1 or is he left out of the top 15? If he's out of the top 15 that's a joke.

No, I had an excellent DB coach, Bubba.

The secondary was horrible not too long ago, during those dark days if anyone asked what position I played I would say 'back up punter' cause I was too embarrassed to admit I used to play in the secondary.

I am not impressed unless a guy has 21+ offers.

-for the Utes fans. We were just about to put Richmond away in the play-offs last season, marching the ball with the lead and there was a double reverse that didn't go so well and that was part of a catastrophic loss in a game we were controlling.........

I agree. We'd be foolish to think a typical vanilla offense is going to cut it in this game. If our coordinators, O and D, don't win their respective battles we (UND) will be in a lot of trouble. Just speculating, but I think UND will be a little stronger on the lines than you think, being an FCS school. Definitely a wild card with the Ute's offensive changes this year. Thanks for all the analysis and insight!!

Totally agree - Whomever plays opposite of Reyes, (Stewart, Flowers, Canady) will be the most critical position/performance in the season for the defense.

2nd this list

I like it, a balance of the big historic moments and the most recent moments fans want to see again.

If we get an all inclusive list I will hand deliver it. Not saying 100% will be on the video but we should be able to get a lot on it.

Reindeau decleater against UNC. Possibly the biggest hit I've seen. Cole Reyes knocking out UNC running back.....
