2026 UND Football Season Thread

[Wilbur]

Down to counting the days until fall camp gets rolling.  Really excited about the group this year, and a big early test at Nebraska that will show if the kids are ready to take the next step.  I'm excited to see more creativity on the offensive side of the ball, and I know that Jerry will only grow with Danny by his side. 

Thursday night football to open the slate should be rocking.

One thing I’ll be interested is with Danny coming in with extra experience and Gordie as TE/ Run game coordinator, I’m hoping to see more use of TE for passing game and Danny not forgetting to run the ball when it is working. If there has been any criticism of Danny when he was here was that he was not patient in running the ball when we were successful. 
 

If our Defense continues to develop depth and play at a high level. Danny can be more aggressive on offense. When he was here before I felt he had to be more methodical on offense to keep our defense off the field.

Looks like UND released an updated roster (minus incoming freshman that didn’t come in the spring) with updated #s. I took a look to see if anyone was missing that I would have expected and the only one I really came up with was Tyler Thaden, Trace’s brother. Maybe that was known already though.

Missing transfer Avery Dixon as well. Might be a mistake?

Also, if he doesn’t win his lawsuit, not having Wiltshire will be tough. He was unreal last season. 

I do see Samuels-Parker, so that’s good news. DT should be deep!
