geaux_sioux Posted November 13, 2015 Author Posted November 13, 2015 I think Santiago has a real shot to finish second in the nation in rushing yards as a true FR. Probably no shot of catching the guy from Lamar. The guy from Forham only has one game left. And Coprich plays USD who have a really solid D this year. I like Santiagos chances of leapfrogging those last two. How cool would it be to have a true freshman all american.http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fcs 3
Longtime fan Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 He is definitely an all-American, probably 3rd team maybe 2nd team. What he has done for this offense is insurmountable. He vision and ability is just incredible. For being a "smaller" guy, he had shown extreme toughness, not only in his stiff arm abilities but also in the demanding amount of carries he has endured. Add to that, shifty, fast and a great attitude . Very fortunate to have him for 3 more years years

Cratter Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Thundar and Lighting sign made the jumbotron.
Longtime fan Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Looks like Brady's done for the year and Santiago might have a bad hammy . Heal up santiago!
geaux_sioux Posted November 14, 2015 Author Posted November 14, 2015 Looks like Brady's done for the year and Santiago might have a bad hammy . Heal up santiago!I feel terrible for Olivera. He was the perfect compliment to Santiago and a much better back than Norberg.
bang Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 I feel terrible for Olivera. He was the perfect compliment to Santiago and a much better back than Norberg.I agree. I still like Norberg as a LB.
Longtime fan Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 I feel terrible for Olivera. He was the perfect compliment to Santiago and a much better back than Norberg.Yes bad deal. Going forward iwarri will have to step it up and he can, shown by his 100 yd rushing effort today. he's a very very talented 17 yr old.
shep Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Smith is the Jim Kiick of the group.Remember him?Of all the recruits we had coming in, Smith was the one I was most impressed with when watching the HUDL videos. Looked good today.
LkvlleUNDFan Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Word on Olivera was mixed after the game. He was definitely in a lot of pain, but I heard that there may be no tears in his knee. Fingers crossed that it's not a major injury. 1

Ozzie82 Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 It's a safe assumption he will not be a factor the rest of this season. I hope no one gets their hopes up. Fingers crossed that it isn't major so that it heals quickly and lessens the amount of time he will miss in the off season.

I just don't want him to spend his first winter season rehabbing a knee.
ClassB Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I've got some friends who are worried that Santiago might transfer. I told him thats a stupid thing to worry about, that it doesn't really happen that often in football, and isn't a common practice IMO (not an opinion matter, but I don't have many examples).I said people like Zenner, Bauman from NAU, Kupp, Prukop, etc. hadn't transferred ever and that was my example of why it doesn't happen often. Can anyone confirm that it is not a common practice to transfer to FBS after good FCS seasons? I'm pretty sure the year-long transfer rule in play there.
SiouxFan100 Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I feel terrible for Olivera. He was the perfect compliment to Santiago and a much better back than Norberg.Norberg looked pretty good Saturday. Let's hope things turn out for Olivera. We look good in the backfield going forward.
Teeder11 Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Kenny Golladay. Palendech. Big Snacks Edwards. Though they left for different reasons, as in coaching change. Golladay is probably the more comparable example. Edited November 15, 2015 by Teeder11
ClassB Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Kenny Golladay. Palendech. Big Snacks Edwards. I'm not familiar with edwards? Palendech - no playing time, Golladay - change in coaching regime. I think playing time and regime are different causes, not big seasons.Vern Adams That was my friend's example.Is there any known examples of huge seasons resulting in a transfer? Is there any reason to worry about that?

UNDColorado Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Vern graduated EWU so he did not have to sit out a year. I would say this isn't a good example.
fightingsioux4life Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Vern graduated EWU so he did not have to sit out a year. I would say this isn't a good example.And Marcus Mariota left early to enter the NFL draft, so the starting job was wide open. That doesn't happen very often. This is probably a rumor started by Bison fans. 1
Popular Post CMSioux Posted November 15, 2015 Popular Post Posted November 15, 2015 Tell your friends to get girlfriends so they have something real to worry about. If they already have a girl friend or wife they have better things to worry about than good players transferring. There is so much more that brings and keeps student athletes at a college - education, family, coaching staff. It really doesn't happen that often in stable solid programs at quality institutions. 5
