The Sicatoka Posted August 6 Posted August 6 I'd guess the background grey was chosen for television cameras (low glare) and to make the green/white logo pop. 1 Quote

Not that I saw, but if they were to be added anywhere other than youtube, Iheart is the best bet for official radio/pod stuff (they have a contract w und).

forksandspoons Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Bennett Walker and Zach Lewis seem to be great additions! "At first, I wasn't even sure what North Dakota was, if I'm being honest," Walker said. "I had never really heard of it. But you want to come here. I mean, this is the favorite school that I've been at. When you're in a smaller town like this, the hospitality people will show you and the kindness ... you're not going to get that other places. That makes it a lot easier to play for this city. When you have the UND on your chest, it means a little bit more. Because of how great this town has been to me, I've honestly loved it. One hundred percent." https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/senior-transfers-zach-lewis-bennett-walker-hoping-to-spark-a-new-era-for-und-defense 4 Quote
CMSioux Posted August 10 Posted August 10 One of my hopes is that we cut down on opponents third down conversions. It was frustrating to know that stopping a third and long was 50/50 at best. 1 2 Quote

New scheme new results? @geaux_sioux is correct. UND and Schmidt were trying to figure this out going back to even 2014. 3rd down is indeed the money down … Hopefully we now have some better answers with new scheme, better players, and new defensive staff …. 2 Quote
Dustin Posted August 11 Posted August 11 I think it's really neat the emphasis Schmidt has put on "701" as a mantra. At the end of this trailer, he does a call-and-response: "7 ? , 0 excuses, 1 goal." Can anyone decipher what they say after the 7? 2 Quote

That's what the closed captioning says, but I know some of the other things the players say (the stuff that's not directly into a mic) the CC has wrong. 1 Quote

Esoteric Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Where will be the strong link in this year’s team? - Coaching, or defense, or offense, or kicking, or fan support, or administrative support, etc. 1 Quote
forksandspoons Posted August 13 Posted August 13 12 hours ago, Esoteric said: Where will be the strong link in this year’s team? - Coaching, or defense, or offense, or kicking, or fan support, or administrative support, etc. Running the ball behind the experienced offensive line. I would love nothing more than for it to be the defensive front, though! Hoping for much better QB play too. My opinion of strongest units for each side of the ball: Offense 1) O Line 2) RBs 3) WRs 4) QBs 5) TEs Lot of knowns on the O Line and at RB. After that, a lot of unknowns, but WR has added some speed and I am looking forward to seeing Fleming, Hoskins, Young, along with Deng, Dennis, Tai, and company. Defense 1) EDGE 2) NI 3) SAF 4) LBs 5) CBs 6)DTs I think EDGE group will surprise some people this season and the top two nickel guys seem to always be around the ball. Safety added some good experience and returns multiple guys with good amount of playing time. LBs have a lot to prove behind McNeal. CBs added some experience but sounds like they’ve been giving a true freshman a look. DTs it has been so long since UND has had dominant players at this position I forgot what that looks like. Hopefully changing the scheme changes that in a hurry. A lot to prove from a group with not much experience at all. Special Teams Should be solid as I believe everyone returns (K, P, LS) 1 2 Quote

Big Green Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Reading Millers daily updates it seems to me like the Defense is much improved or our Offense is not very good. Sure hope it is the Defense being much improved. Quote

Sure hope it is the Defense being much improved. The passing game is going to be a work in process. We will be able to move the ball effectively on the ground, similar to or better than last year. 1 Quote
