F'n Hawks Posted Friday at 05:40 PM Author Posted Friday at 05:40 PM 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. 1 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted Friday at 06:22 PM Posted Friday at 06:22 PM 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. 2 Quote

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. Quote

Expand 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. Quote

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! 2 Quote

Defensively, take time to (1) See improvement (2) Become Average FCS (3) Championship caliber I’ve said it the last two off-seasons. The thought has been, it can’t possibly be worse than the year prior. Each year, it’s either worse or equally as bad. My hope is new system, coaches & attitude can get the defense to slightly below or average. That would be a huge improvement. 1 Quote

Nodak78 Posted Sunday at 12:50 PM Posted Sunday at 12:50 PM Pretty damn optimistic about 2025 season and 2026. Two huge commits for 2026 season. UNDFootball360 podcast. Discusses nutrition strength training. The coaching is above our past staff and should be on par or better than other MVFC. Facilities and pouring into these young athletes keeping accountable by their peers and staying humble and hungry. 3 Quote
CMSioux Posted Sunday at 01:49 PM Posted Sunday at 01:49 PM In that the MVFC has its share of Haves and Have Nots, it could not be difficult to flip last year and get back into the playoffs. Even with the challenges of the defense several of the games were winnable. Very predictable that bandwagon fans will be back quickly. Quote

But I believe 3rd and long with be in favor of our defense again. More QB pressure and mire interceptions. TOs with be huge for this team. Quote
forksandspoons Posted Sunday at 02:10 PM Posted Sunday at 02:10 PM Podcast got me excited too. Sounds like some guys have already put on some good weight and the staff is weighing players every day. The facilities were crucial in getting some of these transfers in I think and will be very important when recruiting spring portal players at DL, LB, etc. Very excited to so the kind of guys this staff can get to transfer in at those positions. I think they’ll find some game changers! Quote
