Great listen as always. Offensively line shuffle was surprising, but exciting. Get the guys in the position they feel their skills can be optimized. Two things I'll be watching are Borud and Anderson. Lots of Borud talk for the short time he's been on campus. Kelly did mention it, but what kind of jump can Anderson make this year? Wish they spent the same amount of time on the Defense as the Offense. 

My big takeaway defensively, was more the discussion about what went wrong last year. The simplifying mentality / new DC will really help. I've talked myself into the D-Line / CB positions being slightly above average. ILB / Safety being average. You can win with some positional groups being average. Only group I'm worried about is OLB. They were awful last year and I wouldn't be surprised if they were worse this year.

This team NEEDS a OLB and a RB from the portal in the bad way. 

I would put safety below average. I know the Fort injury was a big loss to that group and Buckner was new to the system but that position last year was just bad. Need someone with experience that can play right away especially if there are more injuries there. To many missed tackles and blown coverages from the other guys.

Friday 8/4/2023 dispatch from the Pollard: Both sides of the ball were buzzing today. They practiced in helmets and shoulder pads and did 3 live 11 on 11 sessions and some skelly work.

He’s not. And you’re stirring pots that aren’t there, again. There. Happy? You got your reactions to another inane post.

It's a very good article.  WARNING to some: It states some positive things about UND football players.

I could agree with that. Last year the two biggest weaknesses were OLB / Safety play. The big difference heading into this year is I'm confident that the Safety play will be better than last year. What they would grade out to be I guess is a different discussion.

UNDFB360 Spring Football Review - UND Football 360

Good podcast thus far.  They are talking about fall depth chart - anyone know if that was released?  I can't seem to find it.  Some interesting movement along the OL.

With all of the conversations on here about football vs hockey. Football needing more attention, funding, fans, etc. Not enough can be said about what these guys do for the football program. Listening to these podcasts always gets me pumped up for watching some UND football. Wish we didn't have to wait so long for it to start, but this was great. 

Looking forward to seeing if we can land a few more impact players soon. Then it will be great to get some of the summer camp reports. Hate wishing away my summer, but am always excited for football to get started.

For someone who is a big football and hockey fan, I definitely get way more into following the recruiting and scouting for football. I usually don't know much about the new guys coming in for hockey, just high level comments, but UND football 360 really does a great job of keeping everyone informed and excited.

Looks like no noon starts. Last 4 games all at 1pm.
Still earlier than I'd prefer but good compromise given the circumstances. Will be interesting to see if they adjust the hockey game times those weeks of the doubleheader or not.

Agreed. Would still prefer later but at least those games aren’t at noon.

I agree. 2 or 3 pm would be preferred, but happy they avoided noon starts altogether.

I hope to watch the football team win, including a big win vs ag college, and then celebrate with the masses by going somewhere other than the Vegas hockey palace.

2023 Season Preview.

 

Air raid usually leads to a lot of fun and wins during the regular season, but then ends with disappointment in the postseason. But if it means a fun season and beating NDSU … I’m all for it.
