Hambone Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Is Meindel injured? I had heard Boulduc was very good but it's still surprising. Let's hope that Taubenheim is confident enough and young enough to not feel the pressure. Main reason I'm going with hurt or suspended is because Peters was listed as the backup punter.

I was almost expecting Meindel to be the kicker and Boulduc the punter. I guess time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayduke Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 This is showing UND a 38 pt underdog to SJSU. I'd take those points. I'm also not too sure about this website. It has FU a 26 pt 'dog to Iowa State. I think that's way, way too much. http://collegefootballpoll.com/wp_archives_082714.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope Iowa State... I won't speculate a score for UND - San Jose State because I always hope and cheer for a UND win; however, I will state it's obvious SJSU should be the favorite and if UND won it would be an upset.

GreenWing Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 From what those who have attended practice have said about the energy and attitude of the team, I believe we will rise to the occasion and play them tough. Even in our down years we have seemed to play strong against good teams like Texas Tech, Fresno St, and San Diego st. These guys know that they have the chance to define an era of North Dakota football with just this one game with the programs first win against an FBS team. Bubba will get the team to believe in themselves and we should believe in them too. Muss is gone, no more expecting to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team should expect to win every game they play in, and Mussman was no good at promoting that notion, so the team should be happy they now have a leader like Bubba.

Muss also couldn't look someone straight in the face during an interview....you could tell that there was no motivation there. The Bubba Era starts in a week....I can't f*cking wait! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 One gigantic unknown is offensive play calling. Rudolph was successful at SCSU which is impressive but will that translate to UND? Regardless, I'm looking forward to plenty of jumbo sets and pounding the rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit two years ago I was on board with the air attack, but it will be refreshing to get back to our roots with the run game. #Chuckthepigskin? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass happy offense is never a championship recipe. Long term power running is better for a defense than passing all day which equals more wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBR Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 NDSU a 26 point dog to ISU after beating KSU on the road last year. That site isn't worth a mouse click to log into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 NDSU a 26 point dog to ISU after beating KSU on the road last year. That site isn't worth a mouse click to log into. However NDSU lost a lot of starters and coaching staff. Its not Bohl and Jensen walking into Ames, its a QB with zero starts and a head coach with zero DI wins. 26 maybe a bit high, but no way this will be the same team that walked out of Manhattan with a win.

siouxfan512 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I see the game will be on ESPN3, does anyone know if Fox College Sports will pick it up?

Dustin Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I see the game will be on ESPN3, does anyone know if Fox College Sports will pick it up? Is FCS picking up any football games this season, it isn't mentioned on UNDs website? Since ESPN and Fox are competing networks, they would not overlap on this one. I think the FCS broadcasts are announced closer to game time (probably week-of). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxphan27 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 thanks for the link Darrel. they have a new quarterback, and a young offensive line.... hopefully our D gets off to a great start and makes life difficult for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
