Can’t win titles without luck otherwise there would be more frequent dynasties. NDSU losing its NFL 1st round draft pick QB for 8 games, including 3 playoff games, doesn't seem very lucky to me. NDSU has had its share of both good and bad luck during this run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning championships in two separate seasons where the head coach and much of the staff are working for two universities’ interests is a pretty unique challenge to overcome. The Klieman transition seemed to go infinitely smoother than the Bohl transition. Which is why it’s been an 8 year dynasty so far. It’s a mix of luck and competence, mostly competence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very impressed with EWU, more than I expected to be. Some of those early penalties really hurt them, hard to know if those big plays happen without the penalties being committed sometimes, but without the penalties they had the NDSU defense on its heels. Not an easy feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wasn't 6' 5" no one outside of this area would even know his name. Que the BiZon head explosions now!! What did Wentz do that Jenson and Stick didn't?? What did Foles do that Wentz didn't....oh, the Super Bowl and playoff rally this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that won’t be the story of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Forum communications is the enemy of NDSU. Didn't you guys know that? At least that is the consensus on B-Ville. Ever since the "mugshots" of the players from Petitiongate 2012 were published, it's been obvious that Forum Communications has been out to get NDSU and try to bring them down anyway possible.

As I've said, they don't do anything exceptional, but what they do they do exceptionally well.

I'm hoping that someone finally figures out that you don't need fancy schemes or systems but what you do need is a relentless commitment to be exceptional at what you do. Every day, every practice, every snap, every step, every move. If it's not exact, do it again or find someone who will. So how do you stop the NDSU momentum. You don't. What you do do is ... Control what's yours to control: Become relentlessly exceptional at what you do. The rest will take care of itself from there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we taking into account that the man had a broken back for much of this season and is/was less than a year away from reconstructive knee surgery? When healthy last year Wentz was an MVP candidate. Maybe he’ll be banged up his whole career and that’ll be the book on him. But I’m not sure how someone can argue that he isn’t a great QB when he’s healthy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was voted as the third best player in the league by his peers last year and he didn’t get the chance to finish out the season. He’s much better than Foles when healthy. That’s the key, health. If he doesn’t stay healthy, Wentz will be the next what could have been story. If he does he could be a top 5 qb in the NFL for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
