Did Belquist go to Fargo for their pro day??

Both Fargo and GF.  For more exposure.  Catch some passes from Cam Miller.  Probably mire scouts there.

So did we do NDSU a favor by sending down someone to catch Miller's throws, or did they do us a favor by letting Belquist  strut his stuff?

Great listen. I’m really excited about the offense next year. Going to take a lot of work to turn this defense around, and Kelly seems to think it will take some time.

Offense is execution and performance -- "What we run you can't stop." 

Defense is attitude and swagger -- "Your 'stuff' don't work against us."

We haven't had attitude and earned swagger on D for a while.

29 scouts in Fargo.  Only 10 traveled north.  No brainer for Bo

OK.  Makes sense now.

For good reason. Haven’t had enough top end talent on D to have attitude and earn swagger.  Those don’t mean much if can’t back it up.

to me it is all about Bo and getting as much exposure as possible.  I really hope Bo gets a good shot at the next level.

He said he didn’t crack in the 4.5s which means at best a 4.6. For reference Cooper  Kupp ran a 4.62. But Kupp is also bigger and a much better player.

Probably UDFA. rookie camp invite at the least.

For sure. Bo can ball but he’s just not that fast. He is dynamic and explosive though. Quick and can really jump. He’ll get a shot and I hope he can make it happen.

Totally agree. However our defense played with passion and swagger against a very good NDSU team in GF in 2023 and mostly looked soft and pretty much like crap ever since then,  with pretty much the same guys. 

With a totally new scheme and needing to get the right guys on the roster next year will be a work in process on D. However a tough minded coach like Schmidt with high expectations will help offset some of that and I expect us to be better on defense than we were. I'm sure there will be some missed assignments and head scratching moments next year. But I'm expecting us to not make the other teams QB look like Tebow 2.0, like in that one game, and just get completely embarrassed.  We played quite well against Iowa State last year, then would get embarrassed on the road against barely .500 FCS teams. 

Looking forward to listening to the new podcast this weekend!

Very good info on the podcast.  Happy to hear the players remarks on nutrition, and strength training.  The team will be hungry and player led.
