I was there and it was pretty obvious what they were trying to do. Ran Simon on a pass play in the left flat on first down for a short gain. Nothing to see there, he was just another WR. The next play they ran him on toss-reverse flea flicker type play hoping to catch UNI off guard for a pass. UNI sniffed it out and nobody to throw to so he ate it. Collectively we all love Schmitty and trust his judgement, at least most do compared to people on a message board. He couldn't have spoken more highly of Kostich in an interview a few weeks ago. Was on UNDFootball 360 podcast I think. Schmitty said he was special teams coordinator the last few years and knows what all goes into it and Kostich is one of the best. All the coaches he hired have some ST experience and they all work together to make ST successful They went to a coaches conference with all the big boys from P4 this summer where special teams tactics and strategies were presented and discussed. He was impressed with Kostich who stood right in there with the all of them and was as knowledgeable as anyone there. Agree with all of this. But the question remains: Why can't we recruit quality kickers anymore? Quote

Can Deng pass better than Simon? ummmm.....yeah....one of the best all around athletes on the team.... just seems weird that if you were going to have to have a player either run or throw on a trick play and you needed a WR to do it you would pick Simon over ALL the other guys on the team....fascinating. AND look who got the cover shot again.....unbelievable. 1 Quote

Despite the growth of soccer in the U.S. in the last 35-40 years, we had several better kickers in our last 15-20 years of D-2 than during our time so far in FCS. 1 Quote

He is no longer the starter like many of us had hoped, but he is still being a good teammate, so why continue to rip on him? My grip is they seem to only to articles about Simon or his brother when its the whole team doing well. Why continue to talk about a basically none factor when your starting qb is playing some of the best we have seen at und at the fcs level. Talk about Jerry and the two lbs that are playing lights out or how our transfers are helping turn things around. But no another article about little simon. 2 1 Quote

jdub27 Posted October 6 Posted October 6 2 hours ago, SIOUXFAN97 said: Yep, it was a bad throw but glad you brought it up since it has yet to be beat to death. But it is nowhere near an example of forcing a throw and putting the ball in danger, which is why I specifically pointed out that he is a good candidate to run a trick play like that. So again, you continue to pile on a UND football player that is considered a team leader by both the coaching staff and his fellow players for no real reason. 2 1 Quote

Wondering if more than fb involved. why is it "taking a shot" at him to say he wasn't ready to be a FCS qb in the best conf in the country last year? und and the heraldo should be pounding jerry's mug into everything they can to actually buildup und fb...instead of recycling qb4...move on. i think a lot of people of here would lose their minds if they went to alabama's fan page....holy crap...get a grip 2 Quote
