One thing I noticed in re-watching the game that I didn't notice as much when it was Live, is how often Red was actually in and sent into motion, particularly in the first half.  He would go running across the and they had to adjust and follow him and definitely have to pay attention to him because of his speed and that he has picked up good yardage around the ends.  So even when he isn't getting the ball, he is having an impact.  

Noticed that too! Teams definitely need to eye him closely pre-snap and during the play as he's very versatile.

I would guess he played a big impact on flstering the defense..  I feal like they were keying in on him and he causes other receivers to be open.

There was one play in particular I remember where Bo was out wide to the right by himself....Red went out in motion to the right .....the one defender moved over to follow Red....Belquist was wide open on an 8 yard in.

Talking about Red, I didn’t check, did he go back in after he was hit along the sidelines. I noticed him favoring his shoulder he came down on as he got up.

I was wondering this too. Was just watching the long highlights but haven’t got to the 2nd half yet.

He did, took a handoff out of the backfield after Smith got an ankle twisted and Hoosman had a helmet pop almost all the way off

Curious to find out from those who have been to other college FB games this season (not at the Alerus) if UND is still the only team that takes a knee pregame/pre-anthem? I haven't seen it elsewhere.

Well some colleges (I no longer follow pro football) do not take the field until after the National Anthem. Then there is no issue about kneeling/not kneeling.

I didn't attend games way back when and the memory of TV coverage is probably a bit fuzzy, but as I understand it that used to be the normal before Sept. 11, 2001. College and pro teams were not on the field, and TV and radio coverage were always on a commercial break during the anthem. Sept. 11 and the outpouring of patriotism changed that, and some of excesses of that time have hung on to become the "normal" now.
