This Lance dude for NDSU could be the best one yet. UND has its hands full next week.

No problem maybe you'll be lucky enough to land a couple drop downs from Fleck's squad that could get you back to the playoffs. I don't have anything against UND football watch here and there and like them to have success. Nice to see Johannesson getting a lot of carries.

Expand  

Ha! drop downs from Minnesota? The same team that should have lost to SDSU? Not much on that roster worth having.

I'm a man just to make that clear and have no interest in having a husband. London was a Kill/Claeys recruit that Fleck kept in his first class because he wasn't gonna let go of any Minnesota kid in the class and make a bad impression with high school coaches. It is why we have a kicker on scholarship that is entering his RS Soph year and only just now had his first action as a kickoff specialist. You can think what you want about Fleck's style and he even says himself he isn't for everyone but there is a reason he is landing the best recruiting classes Minnesota has ever had and beating out a program like Georgia for a Georgia kid.

Why did "You" keep a backup kicker, just for show?  You made my point.  I would try to make the team better after getting ran over by an FCS team.

The NDSU radio fans boys were really playing up how great MVFC did this weekend. 2-8 says otherwise, even with a few close games.

Why would you listen to that?

UND loses guys to Minnesota as walk-ons that they offer scholarships to. I know this isn't a serious thought at all but I should remind you your top running back is a drop down from Minnesota and he never saw a snap in his time as a Gopher. You've taken two other drop downs from the Gophers recently as well. One saw just special teams time and another never saw the field as a Gopher.

James is a North Dakotan, not from Minnesota. He ended up where he should’ve been (UND) from the beginning. Minnesota’s loss, not his.

The Gophers will be fine they basically didn't show up Thursday, executed terribly, and showed a very limited amount of playbook and still got out with a win against a good FCS team. You can't just kick guys off scholarship unless they do something wrong. I'm sure Fleck talked to the kid about you might not see a lot of playing time here so if you want to explore a transfer the staff would help you out but the kid has decided to stay. The kid was already committed to the previous staff when Fleck took over and it would've been a bad start to pull a scholarship of an instate kid a couple weeks before sigining day. Would've really upset the high school coaches around the cities that he needed to have a good relationship with for future recruiting.

I'm happy he is making an impact for UND. It just wasn't gonna happen for him at Minnesota he was buried on the depth chart but he did have one really solid spring game.

The goofs really aren’t that good of an FBS team, Jacks pissed that game away, limited playbook is a joke, if your good you play & run what your good at & make the other team stop it

2 hour drive home and there is surprisingly a lack of college games on the dial. 

[Wilbur]

I wonder if UNI head coach regrets letting the game go to OT when he had the ball at the end of the 4th with some time and a timeout.  His team recovers that fumble at the 1 yard line in the 3rd OT and it's a moot point I guess.

Didn't see any of the NDSU game, but sounds like they got another good one at QB.

They haven't been a consistently good team but Fleck is building something there and this should be a big year. You can think the playbook thing is a joke but having seen what they run for the last 2 years and what they showed Thursday night it was easy to see they weren't showing much. What they did run they didn't execute well at all, OL really had a bad game against SDSU.

I thought he was referring to the expiration dates on their illegal substances used “throughout the locker room.”

No Fleck wouldn't trade any of his QBs for the SDSU's except maybe a walk-on. The starter Annexstad was lost on the 2nd day of camp, Morgan is a solid game manager and won some big games last year and was 13-18 for 176 on Thursday night. They also have two freshman that have a chance to be really good.

Problem Thursday night was the Gophers just didn't play well at all. They lacked energy, executed terribly, the offense and defense were extremely vanilla and they stuck to it despite the game being close. Execution was very poor and a ton of returning guys that you should know the type of performance you are gonna get had awful games. SDSU had an excellent gameplan and with a new OC the Gophers didn't know quite what to expect and definitely weren't prepared for the wrinkles the new OC had. With starting LB Kamal Martin out their OC targeted the young LBs and used a ton of motions and misdirection to slow them down and confuse them. Offensively the Gophers basically ran inside zone the whole game and didn't show anything else in the run game. They could've and should've thrown more as the secondary seemed to be the Jackrabbits weakness and trying to run the ball a ton despite your OL having a terrible game shortens the game and plays into SDSU's hands. SDSU had two touchdowns taken off the board yes but both wouldn't have happened without the penalties. The guy that got held makes the tackle without being wrapped up and the guy blocked in the back makes the tackle without the infraction. SDSU's OL also got away with a ton of extremely obvious holding inside as the reffing crew really struggled with calls in the trenches including a terrible blind side block call on the Gopher's Andries that was clean. I think this was a game that got the guys attention and they will learn a lesson from, luckily it will  be a lesson learned in a win rather than a loss. There is a reason why people are saying this can be a big year for Gopher football to challenge for the West and I think they'll show that next Saturday.

Lot of hate for Fleck on here from a ton of guys who have no idea how authentic he is. He is the same way with the media as he is in private. He is very positive sometimes overly positive and has a ton of energy and truly has created a family culture and atmosphere at Minnesota.

Your entire post is one excuse after another. They are not a very good FB team right now. After previously losses to FCS teams they are going to hold back to keep from showing anything to another team. Every game played at the college level includes plays or wrinkles you haven’t seen or prepared for. If the other team has a new OC you prepare by looking at what he has done in past or who his mentors have been. One of my friends hit the nail on the head. Players were too tired to play cuz they spend too much energy rowing the boat. They need to sink the stupid boat and gimmicks and play better. They have a long ways to go if they are going to be better than average.
