darell1976 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 How we compare so far to last year: 2014: BSC rankings Highest scoring offense: Eastern Washington 49.7 (UND 13.0 ranked 11th) Lowest scoring defense: Northern Colorado 13.0 ( UND 27.5 ranked 4th) Total Offense: EWU 593.3 (UND 256.0 ranked last) Total Defense Montana 287 (UND 384.5 ranked 4th) 2013: Scoring Offense: EWU 39.5 (UND 23.8 ranked 7th) Scoring Defense: Cal Poly 21.6 ( UND 33.7 ranked 12th) Total Offense: PSU 540.5 (UND 365.1 ranked 9th) Total Defense: NAU 348.3 (UND 426.5 ranked 8th) So far looks like lots of work for the offense, and defense is playing a lot better. Its tough to see improvement through 2 games but this is a good start for the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 A lot of work to do but the team is young and new coach. Can't expect perfection first year. The First down stat is shocking, not our 9 but EWU's 33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bidago Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 we could possibly be the worst offense if the FCS? if you measure by those 3 stats, assuming other schools might specialize is passing, or rushing.......day by day, I guess we need to have some patients. It is a tough wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a tough wait. Those 3 stats proves through 3 games, we can't pass, we can't run, and we can't score. Something has to be done to start moving up on the rankings. I think Bubba knows this and will try to correct it with the limited sources he has available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Will Rattelle is off to a great start to this year, as is Taj Rich. Since we haven't had any good LB play since Hendrickson was a senior I figured I'd highlight the benchmarks of what really good LBs have done in the past. In 11 games his senior year, Hendrickson posted 75 tackles with an impressive 60 solos and 7.5 tfl. The UND record is 66 solos stops by Digger in 2003. With 185 total tackles in 1990 Dean Witkowski has a record that will never be touched, he also posted a 55 solo tackle season in 1989. Rattelle and Rich have 19 and 11 solos respectively and 47 and 41 total. Both are on pace to crack the top ten in solos. To crack the top ten in total tackles would require over 105... I won't hold my breath on that since most guys on that list played in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I think Montana is better than MSU(maybe a lot better). Being realistic, what are the chances we could stay within 20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darell1976 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 I think Montana is better than MSU(maybe a lot better). Being realistic, what are the chances we could stay within 20? The way the defense is playing it is very possible, as long as turnovers on the offensive side are very minimal. (No pick 6). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND92,96 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I think Montana is better than MSU(maybe a lot better). Being realistic, what are the chances we could stay within 20? I may be putting too much stock into the result of one game, but if USD can stay within eight points of Montana on the road, I'd like to think UND has the ability to stay within 10 or 14 at home, barring a slew of turnovers by the offense.

geaux_sioux Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Stockwell has a torn meniscus so probably won't play this year. I swear to God, if he ends up never playing due to injury that will make for a difference making linemen in consecutive classes never seeing the field.
