CMSioux Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Prior to the start of the season 6-3 is right where most would have seen this team. FCS game does not count against us and our two losses are "quality losses" in the eyes of the committee. Even if we split, based on Montana hosting a first round last year, UND should be hosting first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems difficult to recruit the personnel to make it dynamic. Been saying for years they need to get rid of that terrible defense! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course everyone has been blown out by SDSU, but what will the UNI game do to the equation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a fine defense with the proper body types. We don’t recruit them though. DL in general, regardless of scheme, is too small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll beat Illinois state, but that means 4 losses, and therefore much of the same. Likely early playoff exit as usual since road games are just so “hard” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blowout win @ Cal Poly (final game of the season) they were firing on all cylinders. Another reason UND should beat USD: Western Illinois and Bob Nielson (USD current head coach) took UND’s playoff spot that season, and it was not justified in the slightest.

AJS Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Might seem premature, but a week from now, we'll have a good idea who will be walking for Senior day and who will be potentially using their Covid bonus year. The first of many dominos that really impact the following years team. I always look at it as balance of classes are important and you cannot leverage a future class / development by bringing everyone back. Turnover is good / healthy, but you can't have too much. It really is delicate. My hope is that for every bonus Senior that returns, you have a current RS Junior who is more of a depth guy that moves on (hopefully with a degree). Senior for a Senior. Here's who I'm hoping comes back. Beach Belquist Fort* Hembry McNaboe Navratil Schuster* Vaughn I believe Fort could get a medical RS for last year and return if he'd like. Schuster is going to be a really tough decision for the Coaching staff. The question being, who gives you the best chance to win next year (Schuster / Feeney)? I don't think Feeney returns if Schuster comes back. You also have to ask yourself is Kaminski ready to take over as a sophomore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a very early prediction on the 2023 season... Drake - easy W Northern Arizona - W @Boise State - L @South Dakota State - L Western Illinois - W North Dakota State - L @Northern Iowa - L Indiana State - W @Murray State - Toss up - bad team but we are on road in a new venue @South Dakota - Toss up - avg team but on the road Illinois State - Toss up - good team but at home There you have it. somewhere between 4-7 and 7-4. Predictable? 6-5 or 7-4? Is next Saturday the first playoff game vs ISU? A true play-in game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
