And btw, Harris was not very good that year. He got burned a lot. i put johnson on there bc in our 3/4 def teh nose is very important for the lb's to do their job...shouldn't have said best but most important. Quote

That'll slow down safety support on screens in a hurry. *or the far TE/WR running post. Damn it. We we're saving that play. Quote

Boltmann will run for 7 on the play, but the downfield glance will keep on giving. Somewhere PCM smiles. Ten years ago he wanted an offense where a second legitimate passing threat could be out there. Enter Boltmann, the WR converted from QB. 2 Quote

Freund is a breath of fresh air to this program....even though it took bubba 4 years to recognize ....the rain cloud is gone. Something like you mentioned would of made Rudy’s head explode. 1 Quote

Special teams is a major factor of this year. If they have improved significantly ....Unds potential is through the roof. The projected two deep roster on ST is not too promising though. Not a good way to start the year when they add “or” next to names as starters. And to have Wanzek back returning punts is just wrong. Griebel should man that spot! ...No questions. Maybe add in McKinney or fort occasionally but Wanzek with that large frame? Keep him fresh at WR. Sure hands only gets you possession....”jukers” get you home runs, field possession or momentum swings. 1 Quote
Longtime fan Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Doing a little research on the drake team ......they might a tough nut to crack. Experience everywhere ....8 senior starters on O, and 7 on D plus 8 returning all conf players and one first team fcs all American Thought und had big WRs. Their 3 starters are 6’5” 240 ( Chicago bears watching him) 6’4” 200 and 6’3” 225 ( all conf)...all seniors. Had a combined 21 tds amongst them. All but 1 OL are seniors. All over 290 pounds. Return top 3 rbs. Not sure on speed as I haven’t seen any footage but they did keep up with Iowa st.....so maybe not bad. True fresh QB could hurt them tho. They hang their hat on their D ( top 15 in nearly every statistical category) and they return four all conf players including an all American safety. Big boys too. The 2 DT are 280 and 275 pounds. All conf players. Their all American safety is 6’3” 205 and is a ball hawk If their front four can get push and with their safety play they will test unds passing game. ILB sen 6’1” 240 is all conf player that seems to do everything. They have an all conf punter as well Overall they are very similar to unds size if not bigger just no idea on skilled players talent. With their experience highly unlikely they will be rattled. They might even show up with some confidence rolled over from their last game against Iowa st . Und cannot be looking ahead to ndsu Take care of first game. Mentioned it before but I feel unds D will have no trouble protecting home field. It’s the unknown offense combined with their D that will be interesting to watch. And of course ST play nearly game day!!!! Quote

I don’t think I can say which one I would rather have. Hindsight is 20/20 for 2015 but there’s a lot still up in the air for 2019. We have yet to see one live snap of this team. I am just excited for the possibilities of this team. 1 Quote
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted August 31, 2019 Posted August 31, 2019 Game Day! That wait really wasn't that bad. Wow, how this team seems different than the one after that last game in Northern Arizona. 4:00 PM 72 degrees, 11 mph SE wind, partly cloudy with 0% chance of rain. Great day for tailgating! 1 Quote
