Kevin’s not going to tell a kid not to go to UND, but I think he’s probably done advocating for kids to come here 

Kids from Moorhead that play and have success at UND will advocate for UND

As a runner....yes. QB1 was named due to being able to make more plays as a runner. 

 

Quote

Part of the No. 1 QB evaluation was a statistical breakdown of fall camp with Romfo and competing quarterbacks Trey Feeney and Jerry Kaminski. A graduate assistant was responsible for watching practice video and charting every pass attempt, completions, interceptions, explosive passes and explosive runs.

In team settings, Romfo had a 70 percent completion rate, Fruechte said.

"My emphasis to him was if you do that consistently, we're going to be really, really tough," Fruechte said. "I don't care what type of concepts we're running, we're going to be tough if you're at a 70 percent clip. (Romfo) had the fewest throws but tied for the most explosiveness and turned it over the least."

Time will tell what Romfo becomes, but hearing from Belquist, they are just happy he is a game manager.   At some point if this program wants to compete consistently for championships, they need to find impact players at the QB position, not just managers of the game that won't turn the ball over.

Romfo had a completion on Saturday that was further than any throws Schuster made in 4 years.  It was 45 yards but from far hash to the sideline, around 53 yards in the air.  Maybe some hope for a few more long balls and more than a game manager??

Bo was open by 15 yatds. Got spun around by the placement of the pass. Should have been an easy TD but your point is still noted.

I'm hoping, but when he was described as a game manager it made me wonder if that was the extent of what they wanted from him.  Obviously we are all hopeful of him developing into something more of an impact player as he becomes more comfortable.

assuming u mean bo's walk in td route he ran......tommy's trick play throw at nau (last year or the year before) was decently long and got there .1 sec in time and right in the wr's chest

Don’t you dare try to advocate for Tommy after trashing him nonstop.

1st drive of 3rd quarter, not a TD.  Not sure it was a blown coverage or if Idaho St. didn't think he could throw it that far.  As a DB it's not unreasonable to over play inside if never seeing a throw over 50 yards coming out of UND the past 4 years.

i meant that drive/throw....worded it that if the throw was on the spot he would 've just walked in untouched (and bo knew it)

[SuhakiYeahYeah]

Looks like Tommy is pretty popular over there

[forksandspoons]

Brady O on track for another 1,000 yard rushing season. Leading rusher has 2 games played on him. He also has 44 receptions for 365 yards. Winnipeg has bounced back from a slow start and is now 7-6. 

 

Evan Holm sits at 10th in tackles: 

 

Side note, a lot of names FCS fans will recognize for QB leaders. Bo Levi Mithcell (Eastern Washington, though UND didn't face him), Jake Maier (UC Davis), Bethel Thompson (Sac State), Vernon Adams (Eastern Washington), and further down Streveler. 

 

[jdub27]

Vernon Adams is still playing? That's wild. He was an electric factory in college.

Tommy played pretty dang good the other day.

Tommy's time starts at about 16 min mark... with 3 mins left in the 3rd quarter.  Its almost like they are trying to make sure the backup QB gets some reps :).

Bubba cares more about avoiding a qb controversy than developing the backup qbs imo.  Thats his strategy.

Pretty sure it is the OC's call.
Completely understand why they gave Simon extra reps against Idaho State.
Hopefully we get to see how they handle a multi-score lead tomorrow.

[geaux_sioux]

Indiana St is the only other clear chance to get reps for backups. Shouldn’t wait til November for that. Shoulda seen plenty against ISUo and SD.

[UND-FB-FAN]

You can’t make this stuff up … back-up quarterback remaining the most popular player on a team, once again.

[ChadR]

Dumb question. Haven't followed UND football closely with former players. Do we have any former players on an active NFL roster?
