shep Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Hoping both QBs are great but one pulls away early so there’s no lingering question who is #1 as we get to the first game. we have 3 very large OLs coming in. Hoping they are making an impact this year, Also hope someone smarter than me makes a projected depth chart 3 Quote
forksandspoons Posted May 30 Posted May 30 2 DE and 1 DT transfer are already on campus. Definitely much needed to get these guys there early. Hope they can pick things up fast and the DL room as a whole has a great summer in the weight room. 3 Quote

Don't think the 1 or more OL transfers have been officially announced yet, or did I miss it while on vacation last week? Quote

Hawkster Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Home of Economy sold to Runnings. I'm guessing there goes a major broadcast sponsor. Does Runnings run radio ads? Quote

shep Posted May 31 Posted May 31 I don't recall. I think it was posted on this site, but if it was a tweet from a coach wouldn't that be good enough? Quote

Think s lot of us have felt this way ever since the announcement Danny was going to SDSu. Landry doing what he did, Bubba getting an extension, losing 3 starting OL......just lots of turmoil in general makes it hard. The transfers on on both OL and DL provide some hope....but just don't know how they will pan out. OC may very well likely be a wash or who knows....could be a step forward.... especially if Trey or Jerry are the real deal. I think until we see what happens on August 31st.....many are trying to mentally prepare for the worst, but I think there is a chance we could still be pretty decent. Hard to get too excited right now, but I'm sure I will be come August 31st. 1 Quote

Yet, I can't wait for that first home game tailgating. 1 Quote

Can’t wait for the first home game and can’t wait for Iowa State. 2 Quote

Labels going into college(FBS/FCS) don't matter but with a few years development/game action the portal is placing guys at the right level. UND O-line is going to suck. 1 Quote

I haven't looked as who we have all back and transferred in and I could be wrong but I don't think our OL will suck. Hoping some of the younger guys are good, just a little inexperienced and some of the transfers are decent. That said, there is no way we will be as good as we would have been if they stayed. If they had all stayed....I think we might have had the best offense we've had at the FCS level, assuming the OC and Trey/Jerry are the real deal. Hoping for more big plays down field this year. 1 Quote

Wasn’t there a year where we went smaller as an o-line to get better? I think it will be better then that year Quote

So you’re setting it up now so that if either of them underperform Schuster, you can pin it on that. 1 1 Quote

There were plenty of times Tommy had to dance around to avoid the rush, plus they rolled him out to avoid it. Can't even count the number of bad snaps he saved. 2 3 Quote

Can't even count the number of bad snaps he saved. Tommy was a solid QB.. in the list of problems last year he was a distant 3rd behind a terrible defense.. and OC who couldn’t commit to the strength of the team which would have also bailed out the defense by keeping them off the field. The Tommy bashing is always overdone. I would guess the offense will be serviceable again the year with lots of skill at the skill positions. Whether we win or lose will depend on if the defense improves.. luckily our head coach is a defensive coach so there is that… 7 Quote
