They're kind of like us on offense except their QB is bigger faster and stronger than Studs but can't throw as well. Oh, and no all american RB.
There you go. USD QB is bigger, faster, stronger than Studsrud. His highlight throws were good........

The USD quarterback is the type of player that can carry a team. He's really good. We need to make him miserable and his team will follow that lead, being miserable. I have a lot of concern about a player like that.

Can't wait to see the Gameday atmosphere at the Alerus!
I'll be in the game worn #16
Frickers Sports Bar in Bowling Green? It wasn't too bad in there. A Bowling Green fan said normally they don't have that much representation from the other team. It was a good showing. Mason Bennet had 40 people there himself. Reyes had 20 or so family and friends there. Chris Carter had family there, too. It was fun talking with those families.

I don't think anyone said Prater was going to step in and be THE guy after Studs. Just that it would be nice to have additional depth, experience and competition at that position. Too bad it didn't work out for him. Hopefully they get another guy to add into the mix. Obviously I haven't seen Bolinske or Heidelbaugh play, and we don't know how Boltman will transition yet, but it never hurts to have more bodies to compete for the QB spot; or the back up spot.
I was just joking around. I think with the roster depth we are building we'll be able to better vet JUCO and transfers going forward. The 1st year we took some flyers and 2 guys didn't even show up to camp!! Contrast that with the more recent guys, like Hunt for example. This QB Prater situation was a little fishy from the start.

Prater is at his 3rd school in as many years.....for good reasons but maybe there is a good reason down the road to move on from UND, too.
Let's not anoint the guy because he's a father, husband, and a great American for his service to our country. He'll have to earn his respect with the team just like everyone else.
Anyone want 2nds of crow?

Are you kidding. Yes, it was just one game and nobody should be preparing a bust for Canton just yet, but it was an impressive debut even if it was against the Browns. They are a bad team but their defense is not horrible. Joe Haden is considered one of the best CB's in the league. I don't know what great_sioux was watching, but he must not have watched the entire game. There may have been a handful of the 37 throws he would like back, but the 2 TD throws and several others were perfect throws where only his receiver could get it. His touch on Sunday was just fine. I am sure he will run into tougher defenses and have some bad games this year and in the future, but to claim Sunday meant nothing is crazy.
I said Sunday meant nothing!!??
I believe I said 1 game against that Browns team doesn't tell us much......
Let's put the Hall of Fame Ballots on hold and enjoy the ride Susie Sensitive.

Was led by RGIII, his glass bones and uncoordinated ass have let him down again.
Yep-
For sh!ts and giggles, Browns earn an average of 31.6 out of 32 teams, power rankings.

Interesting perspective from the Philly press about Wentz's debut:
Let's just say it, a good performance against a terrible Browns team that is led by RG III???? This game doesn't tell us much.

No offense, but if BGSU came to the AL with a full crowd, they might have some trouble. I thought Bubba's team had a good road game. His staff and team made adjustments and should've won that football game. I think UND is on the right track. If BGSU is the king of the MAC, they're either not a good FBS conference or UND is close to being a very good football team.
That's why they call it the MAC. "Mediocre Athletic Conference"

And if we shut down 1 pass play in the 1st half your QB has 215 yards and you lose you jerk-off. What a dick! I hope you loose every game this year Bowling Green-

OK, I didn't think they would do something like that, but after reading what Kimberly Kenville offered up during the Intercollegiate Athletics Committee, I was concerned. Seriously, not being in a conference at all or moving back to Div II? Wasn't really sure what we were dealing with.
Just letting the idiots speak before the real men make the decisions-

Wind switched a little, BG will be going into the wind 2nd quarter. It was more of a cross wind 1st quarter.

Some nasty wind just arrived-

Hope you folks are as ready as we (BG fans) are to put week 1 behind you and move on to week 2!!! As I've posted before on this board, looking forward to this game a lot. Playing Ohio State is interesting and nice pay-check for the school, and playing and beating teams like Maryland and Purdue last year was fun, but personally I really enjoy these non-conference games, with like-minded fans who follow and root for a non Power-5 team, and teams that are, for the most part, playing for a conference championship above all else.
Making the drive back to BG from Chicago for this one...hoping to run into some Fighting Sioux fans...errrr, sorry, Fighting Hawks
at and around the tailgates. If I see green it's a free beer for you.
Both teams need this win to get back on track so I'm expecting a good game. Those in this thread who I saw are worried about your O-line opening up holes and running the ball, well, if BG has had a consistent weakness, even when they have had good teams, it's their run defense. I see UND moving the ball well on the ground as long as you can keep the safeties honest with some play-action or at least a serviceable passing game. BG needs to get their passing game clicking. I was at the game last week against OSU and there were a number of plays where BG had wide open WRs but the QB (Knapke) didn't see them or threw the ball well behind them. BG's chances to win this week's game hing on better QB play in my opinion. Personally I'd like to see James Morgan get more snaps over Knapke (the starter in the OSU game). The BG Oline did a great job last week so we are hoping that can continue.
So yeah, game probably comes down to that. If UND can maintain long drives on the ground and control the clock, you win. If BG can start hitting on the longer passes and get big plays from the WRs, BG probably wins.
Should be a good game!
Side note, if anyone is heading to BG for the game, stop in Myles Pizza Pub for a pizza...you won't regret it.
You are awfully kind. I think we have an uphill battle. Mother nature might help us a little with rain and wind.....
I am actually going to be there with a 'In Bubba We Trust' green T-shirt. Yeah, free beer!!

After seeing the replay, I'm going to go ahead and back peddle on my comments on Clive. That all happened so fast, and watching the replay on UND Sports Extra was much more clear. I think Clive probably figured he was already down when he started stretching out a bit. Just an unfortunate spot for the kid to be in. Nice tackle by the D, but Clive really just got pulled on top of the defender and put in a bad spot. Definitely a little different than I remember seeing it the first time around.
Also seeing he lower leg bend and wiggle like that was disgusting. Can't imagine the pain.
Anyone know if he will have a chance for a medical reshirt? Or if they will even apply for one?
Those that played see things differently than guys that didn't. It doesn't make them any better/worse fans, they just see things with the past experience of playing. I spoke with a former UND WR, played in the 00's. He said anytime you go back into the middle as a WR be prepared to take a shot. He said he cringed on 2 plays with Clive, both were times when he caught the ball and cut back into the middle. The 1st time he came up holding his hip, the 2nd time was the unfortunate leg injury. Gotta give Clive credit for playing fearless but not sure what's best for the team in these situations. He was a valuable deep threat for 3 quarters out of a 44 quarter regular season.

The CBs are usually told where to line up after getting the call from the safety. Hope we get it worked out this week or it might get out of hand quickly. No more day by day. The time is now.
Safeties make the call, a corners technique, disguise, positioning depends on the player and his experience, what the staff allows him to do, and the player across from him. It's not as simple as it appears.
Your point I think is if we are going to line up 8-10 yards off whether in man or zone Bowling Green will eat us alive. I think that's an accurate statement.

The Jacks put up 41 on TCU.

Making corners play off makes it look like they don't have the ability to cover anyone. Get up in the receivers face. If he goes to hit hotdog stand...you go with him. If he goes to get a cup a water, you go too. We also need more corners on the field in nickle instead of safeties. In my opinion. Playing in the secondary is tough but scheme can make it more difficult than it should be. I have never liked the bail technique.
I love the bail technique, when it's played a yard off and looks like man press. I think our corners need to disguise their coverages more.

I totally agree...in Clive's case the "necessary yardage" was the goal line.
It's easy to step out at the 40 knowing you have the first down, but that's not where Clive or that game was at.
Perhaps, I only saw it once live but watching it and seeing it I could see he was about to get crushed by not going down and his momentum was stopped.
What are defenses coached to do, gang tackle, punish, strip the ball. When you see a guy, momentum stopped, their d-backs were licking their chops!!
Even if he didn't get hurt, but took a shot, I am just guessing Fruend would of told him, know when enough is enough, know the down and distance, don't expose yourself and get yourself killed.
Clive isn't exactly setting any weight lifting records, for his size, that was reckless. 'A' for effort. Wish him the best, very unfortunate.

On the game in general, everyone has touched on the major points. When I am at Heaven's gate I am going to punch the 1st Football God I see right in the face!!

I don't get the idea that Clive should not have fought for the extra yardage idea. Granted I did not see the play as I was listening on the radio at the time. But you can't settle for going down at the 2 yard line. You should fight for the extra yardage and try to score. Can't assume you are getting a TD in the next couple of plays after.
Question for people who saw the play. Did he fumble because he was hurt?
This is the concept, and you'll see guys in the NFL do this, protect the ball and yourself when you've made the necessary yardage. You see guys in the NFL do this because they were savvy enough to know when the play is done. Clive would be way more valuable to us securing the 1st down and not gaining an extra foot and getting crushed. For every guy in the NFL their are 2-3 that were just as good, but didn't survive due to injury. So call the real talented players that know when enough is enough 'pussies', Chis Carter for the Vikes is a good example, or call them whatever you want. But CC is in the HOF I believe in part because he avoided taking big shots from defenders.
