2024 UND Football

[LH Golfer]

So far this year, it seems like the injury bug has been avoided. The new strength and conditioning program paying dividends already? 

[The Sicatoka]

Massey: 5
Sagarin: 7

[SuhakiYeahYeah]

2024 week 3 ranking: 10

....guess who's number 9.

It’ll take multiple years to actually know but the initial reviews are positive

Coming at football purely from a fan perspective (no formal background), I found this really interesting.  It seems like this is going in tandem with new S&C.

Has using running backs and tight ends in short passing routes fallen out of favor? UND used to run those all the time.

Probably easier to just hand it off. End result is probably the same.

Would you guys be surprised if it was a team they've beaten this year head-to-head?

What about Griz. They need to be higher.  You Stats always love Gruz or does Massey and Sagarin say study up.

Davis beats Idaho

how far does Idaho fall and does UCD jump UND in the polls ?

Montana has a shootout against a bad eastern Washington team 

[CMSioux]

Will this be the week that all the FCS basement broadcasters have to talk about what is happening with the UND football team? Some will do it begrudgingly, others will move the goalposts.

I like Fruechte's play calling.  I was really disappointed when Freund left, because I felt he gave us an advantage in most games as a creative play caller.  But I think Fruechte does a better job calling the right plays at the right times.  I actually feel he is even doing a better job with less talent at the QB position than Freund ever had. I also feel it is more of a "straight-up" offense if that makes sense.  Less gimicky and trickery.  He has really been doing an excellent job IMO.

Fruechte has been an excellent addition, along with Coach Olson. Two excellent additions exemplifying why coaching matters. Defense is still suspect (same coaches on that side of the ball) but the offense is on a new improved level.
