shep Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I'm for JMU today and will go so far as to say that there is NO WAY SDSU beats the Bison in a rematch. NO WAY. Thus I want JMU to win today and in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he thinks he can win at this level with Rudolph calling the plays then maybe he isn't the man for the job. You gotta remember tho we run a super duper complicated offense that takes 4.5 years to learn. And since Bubba's first recruiting class doesn't count, we won't know how to evaluate Rudolph until game 7 of 2019, when those 5th year seniors have mastered the super duper playbook. Until then, you need to ignore everything going on around you and pledge your blind allegiance to the regime. Join the Borg.

Or you could just whine about everything that's happened over the past 4 years and hark back to the Mussman days when we had an exciting offense and all was well with the world and UND football. And of course, continue to denigrate anyone who doesn't agree with you as losers who really don't care if the team wins and who have low expectations because they don't want UND football to turn into Tennessee football with fans crying for a new coach every 6 weeks. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threw for 160. Actually it was right out of Rudolph’s playcalling. Good chunk of their runs were A gap power. Their o line/te/fb group was dominate. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look for real to me. Meanwhile, JMU nearly lost at home to Weber State. I don't know if they are as good this year or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, great things are on the horizon then because we have the same offense as the best program in the country. How many 1 yard dives on first down did they run - using their 185 pound running back who is an all american when he gets the ball with space? Rudolph backers mystify me. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkster Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 We could have have curb stomped Sam last night as well. For the love of pete, why do the Bison always seem to get easy opponents, or at least teams that forget to show on game day? I'm convinced their run has more to do with luck than any type of talent. But then, Bubba had better start shaping up and getting lucky next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I see the difference pretty well. They have a really talented OL/TE group that is coached well and executes. They also are a very experienced group and rarely have to plug in more than one or two underclassmen in their rotation. The difference wasn't play calling, it was executing the plays that were called and physically dominating SHSU. Unless its a special group, you don't do that with an OL/TE/FB group consisting mainly of RsFR/So. Generally at the FCS level you aren't getting 4-5 of that special OL talent and development is needed. The development of our OL group going all the way back 6-7 years has not been very good and needs improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had he gone there he would have had better coaching and would have been closer to reaching his potential. Saying that is like passing a Goddamn kidney stone for me but it’s the sad truth. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxbow6 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Lots of time between now and the 2019 match up but my very early guess is the line will be NDSU -24 at a minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some here are frickin delusional to think UND will get on par any time soon with NDSU if NDSU keeps the same talent level moving forward. Where has anyone on this site said UND will be on par with NDSU all things being what they are today? I think my point and yours are the same point but some of you guys who blindly hate anyone who doesn't fully agree that Rudolph needs to go just type away at anyone who say anything besides that and mistake it for support all things UND. I do think Rudolph could have had the same outcome last night with NDSU's roster vs. SHSU. The plays they had success on were pretty basic. They just were a better team and bullied a squad that had was not very good defensively and wanted nothing to do with a team lining up and running right at them. NDSU also has a great S&C program and does a very good job developing OL. Even guys that no one else see's as D1 talent. We could likely site numerous examples but I am sure you know the names. That said and even if all was equal, you have to admit at a position like OL 1 or 2 extra years of physical development makes a difference. A majority of their guys they started last night were Srs/Jrs.. And that is my biggest issue with this season and it can go all the way back to the previous staff and falls on this one. Upper class o-line play and development with S&C has not been very good. That has nothing to do with Rudolph but does fall on some people on this staff. I also am not one that is real high on Juco or FBS transfers as more often than not, at all FCS programs they are more misses than hits and are not going to do quick patchwork of needs. There has to be development. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They likely would have hung a big number on this year's UND squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
