Nielsen’s first title was first year after Bubba, they were with Bubba’s players I believe, Nielsen’s 3rd year he won, that one I would think with less. Bubba coached Duluth 2004-2007. Duluth’s titles were 2008 and 2010. 

And. Is this Schmidt’s year after bubba?

He’s just trying to pump und up so when we beat the bison it’s not surprising

[forksandspoons]

Brunnell and Langama have looked good. Hopefully they’re ready for bigger roles!

No, but I think they will at the press conference this morning

Bennet Walker hasn't been back either has he? Be nice to have him back against the SU's.

So back for the playoffs at least.

Month out is vary fortunate for a collarbone injury.

Langama can play in 3 more games left to keep his red-shirt. Depending on Z's timeline, save him for the 3 Dakota schools. Shouldn't need him for ISU-B or Murray St.

4 weeks is bare minimum typically for collarbone fracture. Typically physicians don't even want them to do any rehab or upper body strength during those 4 weeks. So typically 6-8 weeks. Now being a college athlete and going through sport specialty orthopedics, they can monitor the healing process much more closely with more appointments to be able to be aggressive, but I'm still thinking 4 weeks is doubtful

Good info- assuming your a source?

I hope the coaching staff is thinking this also.  Use Colton Brunell as the third RB vs ISU-B and Murry St.

Is a first round bye still possible for us if we run the table?

[GoodGood]

Is Langama good enough where you have to worry about if he’ll even be here for 4 years? If there’s a doubt, just play him and screw the redshirt

Playoff committee has us at #8 right now, which would be a 1st round bye.  So run the table would mean 1st round bye for sure.  I think 1 loss we would still have a chance, since that would mean a win over the current 1st or 2nd ranked team.

Run the table would almost guarantee the #1 seed.

Giving Ziebarth extra time to heal would be great.

It seems to be what Schmidt is thinking. Also a bonus that playoff games don't count towards the 4 games anymore, though Z would hopefully be back by then.

Quote

True freshman running back Charles Langama of Maple Grove saw his most extensive action of his career against SIU.

"We feel like we're pretty deep there," Schmidt said. "We've been waiting to use Chuck all year long. We really wanted to protect him (in playing four games and maintaining a redshirt season). We want it to be meaningful if we're going to use his true freshmen year here. We'd still want to keep him to four games, but I think Colton Brunell and the emergence of Sawyer (Seidl) ... we think (Seidl) can be an every-down back. Then (Xavier Leigh) has got to be a guy here who can step up and get some tough yards in between the tackles, as well.

Won't go that far.  Our 2 losses would not get us above an undefeated Montana or Tarleton team.  The others ahead of us I think would be jump.

I just hope Gavin snaps don't go to Sawyer. (unless we are in a tight game and absolutely need to).  We need to keep him fresh.
