What happened to Norberg?  and the Swede

Norberg is listed at LB again.  And Nevermann - well, I've heard a few as to why but not sure the truth.  Think Wyoming blocking him playing this year had something to do with it.  Maybe he'll change his mind......

Did I miss something with Neverman? I knew he couldn't play this year, but is he no longer with the team; or am I misunderstanding you?

No longer on the team.  Doesn't want to sit a year.

 

How hard would it be for Wyoming to put on their "best for the student-athlete" face and reach a gentlemen's agreement with UND that Nevermann can play immediately as long as he doesn't make the trip to Laramie this fall. 

 

(Notice the lack of question mark above; that's rhetorical.)

I would call Bohl a lot of things but a gentleman has never been one of them.

Nevermann wasn't going to help this year and my opinion is he lacked the ability to be anything more than a tough banger.  Sharp didn't show the level of play needed to earn a spot, and I'm guessing the same with Blass. 

 

So we have Arrington, not sure on Norberg at RB/LB, but Olivera and Smith will get a real shot at playing time.  All this shake-up would make sense with the announcement of a new RB coming to the program......we'll see.

Olivera and Smith may not have a choice, i am sure the coaches are losing a bit of sleep over it

Either one of these things happens: (all in my humble opinion)

 

1) we get another capable FBS running back this summer

 

or

 

2) Jade Lawrence becomes an option at RB (the UM transfer at OLB may have afforded us this option)

 

We may just end up with a lot of youth at RB, but youth doesn't mean they can't be productive. Don't sleep on Santiago, too, he's a player.

New Helmet!

I like it!  I would assume it's an "alternate" helmet?

 

EDIT:  As long as it matches the green on the jersey's/pants.  One potential issue with a lighter green for the jersey's is they get darker as the guys sweat, which doesn't look good with a lighter green helmet.

We need another experienced RB badly. I think we have some young talent coming in but I am concerned with their durability.

 

One thing that is kind of specific to running backs is either they have great instincts with the ball in their hand, or they don't.  So what I am trying to say is a guy can have great instincts from day 1......nothing to develop but the mental side of being assignment sharp and heck, the QB can help with this pre snap.

I agree with you, but I am just concerned with durability.

No, it will likely be the main helmet, as the matte finish is a change to all helmets, I believe. Also, the new Adidas jerseys won't be like the green Nike jerseys they are replacing. In other words, the green Adidas jerseys won't drastically change color with sweat like the Nike jerseys did. 

 

Both the helmet and Adidas uniform change are an upgrade!

Good to hear, I'm looking forward to seeing the new jerseys/pants.

Our defense should be improved from last year. 

 

Last year the rush defense was ranked 5th in the nation. 102 yds/game.

 

Total defense was ranked 37th and about 350+ yards/game.

 

Our pass defense gave up a lot.  250+ per game and ranked 99th.

 

the question Do you think our rush defense will be in the top 5 again this year?

 

Will the total defense be in the top 15 of the nation?

 

I would like to hear your thoughts.
