Winning the conference would be great but do we have the horses to pull it off? All starts up front, and UND’s offensive line is the best it has been in years, both in quality and depth. Defensive front is a question mark but I think most will be pleasantly surprised …… Quote

Winning the conference would be great but do we have the horses to pull it off? I hope I'm wrong but I think it'll take a few more years before we are in position to win the conference. I expect a big step forward this year but until we get more of our high end recruits in house we may not be quite at that level. 1 Quote
forksandspoons Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Really hope this team can stop the run. A top 3 MVFC team against the run should be an annual thing. I’m still a bit worried about the depth at DT and LB. The secondary should be pretty good, but will depend on the guys up front stopping the run and getting to the QB. 1 Quote

Winning the conference might have to wait a year or two but it sure will be nice when it happens. Quote
UND Football Fan Posted August 1 Posted August 1 I believe overall team depth has improved with the additions. Many times our lack of depth showed in games in the past. If our depth, speed and fundamentals improve on the defensive side this season, I believe we can get to 8 wins. 1 1 Quote
forksandspoons Posted August 1 Posted August 1 Per Tom Miller, Brennen Blegen no longer on the roster. Not good news at a thin position https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/observations-from-day-2-of-und-football-fall-camp?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwL56ZFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHvZUmlyADEs0dO7rgkR-weBIozw7O69d-Yt1c-vpGcaf08FDNHjdB1g7JK1L_aem_P4oqjtSxexfsVQShraw5nw 1 Quote

I hope we find a new guy to help that spot before the end of fall camp. @forksandspoons Quote

SiouxFan100 Posted August 2 Posted August 2 Hate to see us lose a defensive tackle. Was Blegen going to play much this year? 1 Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted August 2 Posted August 2 How are our receivers looking? Heard we have had a few dropped passes? Are they getting open? thanks Quote

forksandspoons Posted August 2 Posted August 2 7 DTs on the roster, 2 of them being true freshmen and 1 being a converted OL. Wonder if Vig will play on the inside from time to time? I would guess they’re going to need at least one of the true freshmen LBs to play a good amount, at least on special teams. Quote

Most ends/edge will move in to DT as needed. The 3-4 big DT’s will stay inside though. Depth isn’t great but not bad if no injuries. There will be young guys in the mix for depth. Blegen was as effective as anyone last year. 3 Quote
F'n Hawks Posted August 2 Posted August 2 From Tom’s article today : “ The practice featured a few tussles, which is typical of fall camp, although in recent history those skirmishes tend to break out a little deeper into camp when players start getting tired of hitting the same few players” LOVE this. 3 1 Quote

Miller did mention Vig was playing inside some yesterday: https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/college/observations-from-day-3-of-und-football-fall-camp 2 Quote
shep Posted Sunday at 11:52 PM Posted Sunday at 11:52 PM Today's Miller report is full of individuals doing well. He mentioned Wyatt Bell making a play at DL. He was a OL last year. Was he counted in the DL list? 1 Quote

Has unique elusive running style and was very good at Maple Grove. 2 2 Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted Monday at 03:01 AM Posted Monday at 03:01 AM Fall camp is a chance for players to step up and make an impression. Here’s to lots of players stepping up and fighting for playing time. 2 Quote
