exactly...these same starters from last year struggled against crappy programs.....

This comment gives me some hope for Iowa state, they are probably overlooking us just like the rest of the media. Come out , punch them in the mouth and leave it all on the field. Pound that ball and make some big defensive stops! Get gelled for MT

Obviously we have a very inexperienced line. All around 300 to 330#. Great opportunity for young guys to step up:

LT: Becher and Thaden both stepping up and have the frame. Thaden is quick being he was a TE.  Might be a bit early to be starting but their time has come. 
LG: Kuntz and Folland, Kuntz certainly has the size and put in the time and now a senior. Hopefully he does well. He was behind Ventrelli and Kilty to learn.  Folland they say is built like a brick house still at 330 lbs after 1.5 years on the team and was at center in spring ball. Apparently he is one guy our defense hates to go against. Sounds tough and mean. 

Center: Buxa and Gorder. Buxa was highly recruited and has good size. Gorder has experience which is great. I wish last years center the best but the snapping issues were a nightmare for Tommy. This position might be an improvement. 
RG: Olson, Cariveau and maybe Gorder. Olson does have an extra year under his belt. Good size and well talked about. He has to be hungry to play. Cariveau good size and young. Gorder you would think will fill in as needed. 
RT: Anderson and Teeter. Anderson has great experience and is following in Ventrelli’s steps of great size and technique and never making a mistake. He has played along young linemen before. Teeter we haven’t heard much, he started in D2 so it’s interesting he is where he’s at. Great back up and hopefully does well. 
 

Let’s see how fired up they all are and maybe it’s the beginning of something good. It would be fun to see the line develop some knock down power and push the line. 

I hate it when people say our OL is going to be down this year. This analysis proves my theory that our OL has the talent and just need to put it together as a group on the field. Recruiting has been one of the best for this group, not worried at all especially when seeing other top teams having the same question marks.

History shows against these teams we usually hold our own for a bit and then get gassed and/or beat down later in the game.

And it seems like there is often one play that we lose a bunch of momentum. 

Utah State Otis ran into crossing reciever when there was a huge hole on 3rd and short. 

Nebraska Tommy misses a Wide open Belquist for what would have been a big play early, one that he normally completed 95 percent of time. Also the penalty late or was it that and then long completion when they were deep in their own end. We were in the game up to that point.

Boise St. was the fumble right before half that ended up being a 10 point swing. 

Honestly we will need a few breaks in this game and be on the right side of the types of plays above in order to have a chance IMO.

At Boise we couldn't catch interceptions thrown directly into our chests either.  Huge plays too

[SiouxFan100]

Gotta make plays when given the opportunity - game changing

Bowling Green.  Broken leg and missed a 2pt conversion for the win.  A game of inches.  We are due but I don't think this is the game.

That one FBS win over a 2-9 crap MWC team was the high-water mark for the program.  9 years ago.

Went to NDSU as Iowa State in 2009.  Really fun tailgate scene.  Enjoy and good luck.

And that was on a Thursday no less.

It was a great day of tailgating (that was back in my season ticket days) but it's even escalated since then.
