Siouxperfan7 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I am excited to see what Romfo will do on Saturday. Not sure when we had a starting QB with his athletic ability in running and passing the ball. O line is going to be the biggest question mark this year. Simon being able to scramble out of trouble takes a little less pressure off of them, but they will still need to do their job. Need to play this game like we did in Lincoln 2 years ago. Keep it close to the 4th quarter and give us a chance. Looking forward to being in Ames tomorrow for the start of another football season!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that too....been a long time since we've had a true threat running the ball at QB. Keaton made some nice runs, but he was nothing like Cam Miller running the ball. So definitely curious to see how our offense is with a QB that can run. How well he can throw though, and make good decisions....that will be the key. He has only had to do it in practice, hoping it goes well during games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keaton and Hendrickson were both faster than Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Keaton being pretty fast, but overall not sure he was as good of a runner. Part of that might have been we didn't run him a lot because we didn't have a quality backup QB so never got to see it how good of a runner he was.

CMSioux Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Listened to UND360 on the drive down and almost turned around, just joking. Realistic predictions I guess. Nice day for college football and cashing a $550,000 check. Plus anything can happen on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keaton was built like a skinny wr. Miller has probably 20-30 lbs on where Keaton was at. But remember Keaton had that long run against Portland where he showed he could really scoot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longtime fan Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 A moral victory is the best we can hope for. That’s what we as fans are left with nowadays. Deflating and frustrating . If UND can stay within 21 that’s a moral victory. Bubba has proven over and over and over and over again he can’t win these games. Now it will be Iowa st …..toughest test yet. Bubba can hang his hat on his one fbs win over a two win Wyoming team. Iowa st 7-42 I have attended a couple of practices this year. Will only note one thing. Bo is an absolute stud!!! Why he didn’t transfer to bigger school is beyond me but he is special. Speed at Wr is nice but crisp route running is second to none. Jerry rice and cooper kupp are not “fast” but their route running is what separates them. Bo has that! I have read on this site that und has too many white guys at WR. Not sure what race has to do with because Bo is as good as it gets. I would take him over any other WR in the fcs. The guy is a true football player and WR. Just unsure with a new qb , OL and OC how his stats will show how good he really is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between having a couple white guys who can ball at wr and having eyes and seeing what the rosters look like in FCS, FBS and the NFL vs having a wr room that looks like a church league basketball team.

forksandspoons Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Not only for tomorrow but the entire season, I hope fruechte doesn’t overthink the play calling. Find a few things that are working and stick to them or some variation of them until they show they can stop you. Seemed like Danny would overthink things from time to time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND is fortunate to have him again this year. Bubba is not a special coach. But be careful with all that Bubba transparency, I can hear @jdub27 typing up a defensive response with some Massey ratings... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right; the best offensive coordinators stick to what is working and “don't get too cute”, as they say. Will see how the offense looks. I know Bo is fun and there’s a ton of attention on Romfo, but the true substance of the offense is the offensive line. 4 new starters and their first game is against Big 12 talent - that is where poor Romfo may not even get a chance. But we will see, maybe Fruechte and Coach Olson will have the OL more prepared than we think … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 33 minutes ago, HoopsFan03 said: I was thinking 45-7 ISU This is the perfect score prediction if this game plays out like a normal FBS game under Bubba. 10 points worse than the spread. One bit of detail, ISU will score on their last two possessions. We’re all here for the what if. What if Romfo looks the part, defense makes plays and they completely surpass expectations. Sell hope that this team will be better than what was predicted and they have a real shot against Montana. Prove everyone wrong! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
