As a current I-AA GA, let me say that probably 90% of I-AA teams around the country would have straight up traded their starting O-lines for the one UND had last season. As for other players on UND's team, it is more difficult to say because they are so well-coached that it is hard to compare their innate ability and determine whether or not they would have been successful at the I-AA level. Digger, Lueck, Gagner, Momerak, Stratton...ability-wise they're middle of the pack I-AA (and I'm only talking about scholarship-giving I-AA schools), but they were so well taught and DEVELOPED at UND that if they were to just jump into another I-AA school right now they would be successful. However, if they were to just start off at a I-AA school and didn't receive the same coaching as at UND, I don't believe they would have been as good of players. Does that make sense? Basically my point is that players at UND are so well-coached that it kind of "exaggerates" their talent. The fact of the matter is there aren't very many great coaching staffs around the country like the one UND has...at any level. So to look at some of these players and say that they would have the same level of success at a I-AA school as they have had at UND is hard to say, because they are so well-coached.
