UND @ Southern Illinois 10/18/25

[siouxfan512]

I think I asked this somewhere else, but I don't believe I ever saw an answer .... What happened to Hromadka? Started the season on fire and then I haven't heard his name. Is he injured, or are they trying to limit snaps to retain his redshirt?

We contained Youngstown's QB, we'll do the same with this guy.

Have been wondering the same.  Part of why he was playing was because other TEs injured. He sure looks like he belongs even as a freshman.  Guessing they're trying to preserve redshirt but have no basis for that.

The game plan should be pretty simple: Run the ball and wear them down. SIU's defense has given up a lot or rushing yards, and their offense is dangerous, so UND needs to keep them off the field. 

Mix in a couple deep shots to Fleming, a couple intermediate throws to TEs, and take care of the ball. 

I think we might even see a full back this week.

Maybe so, but I've seen nothing from Dennis to justify keeping him out there over some of these other guys. He has had a few flashes over the years, and I'll give this to the kid, he can take a hit and bounce back, but I'd rather see Deng Deng get some more jump balls or back should passes. Also hoping we start seeing more out of Hoskins. I think either of them have more upside.

I'm not opposed to a few special packages to include Romfo, but I wouldn't want to lean too heavy on it.

Basically what I was getting at here. I now trust this head coach with his decisions I just haven't seen it from those 3 guys. Was just saying try Deng or Hoskins out there with his speed.

I would like to see a package with all 3 Qbs (Javance, Simon and Jerry) in at same time! 

Javance's bio from SDSU:

Ranked by ESPN as the 16th-best dual threat quarterback in his class in the country, and the 79th best player from California with a scout grade of 77 ... Chose the Aztecs over offers from Arizona State, BYU, Florida State, Kansas, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Nevada, and San Jose State.

We all know what Simone and Jerry can do! I think we could be really creative and put a lot pressure on a D?

Ya um about that....should Jerry have been a 5 star then?  CA is such a cluster when it comes to recruiting

I'm all for getting athletes on the field however you need to do it.  I'd love a red zone package with Javance with a ton of motion and the option of rolling him out in an rpo look or even under center in a triple option veer look to keep teams off balance.

I’m all for keeping the ball in the hands of the guy in the conversation for the Walter Payton Award. No Simon. No JTJ. Straight Jerry Football

Should also look to at Deng deng

And if #10 can get separation then we know we’re in business.  

[sioux24/7]

I want Deng Deng out there as much as the next guy but it seems like there is probably a lot of refining to his game he still needs to work on. Good redzone target right now, though.

Give it a few weeks. 2 (if they want to put something on tape) or 3 (if they have something they think will cause serious matchup issues) to be specific.

[forksandspoons]

Multiple QBs on the field at the same time, to me, is a waste of a blocker. I'd rather see 9 and 28 out there at the same time.

Could Deng be next golloday

I love me so Full back out Tightends can do it, or maybe a back up OT or OG, just pound the rock baby.

God he was special no reason being here other then his grades were bad. He was a man playing against boys.

No he will not. Totally different game. Plus Kenny ran a 4.5 at the combine. Deng ain’t got that twitch. Let him be Deng. No reason we can’t back shoulder him 6 times a game with success.

That’s probably a good idea I’d say!

Thought the same. Used to hate it when our secondary guys led the league in tackles.
