Goose15 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 3 hours ago, UND08 said: I have long thought that our troubles hitting on deep balls the last few years boiled down to two factors: 1 - Lack of a dominant running game to bring safeties into the box. 2 - Lack of receivers who can get separation and run by defenders. Eliodor might be the first receiver we've had in awhile that could do this. We were much better at this in the (gulp) Rudy era...mainly because we had two RBs (Oliviera and Santiago) who demanded so much attention! Sometimes I think about what our offensive production would have looked like if Danny was our OC running this system in 2015-16...it makes me sad if I'm just being honest! Our run game has been good, especially last year with Hoosman and looks to be good again this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny has a great mix of run and pass, motion, change of personnel for the opponents to defend. RB's by committee has worked so far. OL has been great to put up the numbers.

It got the job done though, right over the d-backs. The whole point is Wes was never streaking down the field wide open like you said. Tommy had time (nice job OL), waited for his read, got it and threw the ball when he had it. Wes was running right at the safety until he broke up to come at Bo and leave Wes that open. Sounds like it was a well designed play that was going to have two options depending on what choice the safety made. If he throws it earlier, the safety is still in position to break it up. There are other Qb's who have stronger arms. But most of them aren't going to make the read, have the patience to let out develop or have the accuracy to put it in a catchable spot. 1 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioux24/7 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Our offense will be able to score, it’s a matter of whether our defense can stop anything. We’ve shown slight improvement from last year, imo, but a whole lot of bending and not breaking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Brucesky02 Posted September 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2023 For anyone going to the game, a few recommendations: The Boise Greenbelt is a large walking path that runs along the Boise river basically the whole way across the metro. It goes directly by the stadium - enjoy a nice walk on it. The downtown area is also walkable from the Stadium/campus and it's one of the cleanest, nicest downtowns you'll find. Lots of food and drinking options. If you have extra days, drive up highway 55 or 21 and go into the mountains. McCall and Stanley are each about 3 hours away and both are gorgeous. If you want a short, fun hike closer to the stadium, go to Camel's Back Park. It's a few hundred steps straight up to a great view of Boise. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2022 UND averaged 147.6 yards rushing per game. In 2016 UND averaged 208.4 yards rushing per game. In 2015 UND averaged 240.5 yards rushing per game. I wasn't saying our rushing offense hasn't been good...but we are much more balanced and more multiple offensively now. Our passing offense pre-Danny was much more vertically focused off of play-action (I don't recall Rudy ever calling a screen pass once during his reign in Grand Forks). Nowadays a lot of our passing game is an extension of the running game (which makes up for the drop in yards above imo)...that said we aren't built like we used to be and one of the casualties (and there have been very few in my mind) has been the vertical passing game. That said...with Eliador in the mix I think we'll see more of it this year than we have at any point under Danny's command of the offense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post streetsahead Posted September 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2023 My buddy in Boise tells me the game is a whiteout and Boise State will be wearing white throwbacks. I really hope we wear black (I hate our green jerseys with the white sleeves). About a dozen of us will be there in UND green cheering loud! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad that every thread becomes a defending Tommy because of a few uneducated. Tommy does so much that goes unnoticed. Examples -there are numerous snaps that are low, wide, high that he just naturally adjusts to and no one notices, swing passes are automatic (wasn't that long ago they weren't), he's hitting at 70%. He could have been playing for Ferris State (which won the last two DII championships). Losing our #1 QB recruit at the last minute, during COVID, we were very fortunate to get him and it was without an onsite visit. 7 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often have we said "Tommy played well"? I've never seen a QB so automatic. I used to worry everytime we threw downfield, but with Tommy, when I see him air it out without me having looked downfield, I think "Oh yeah, he found someone." Never have I been more confident in a QB. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
