you said he only took 1 player...just saying he might have swayed a few away from und like bubs did on the hockey side

Yes he did

[Wilbur]

The way our offense looked at the end of last season I'm okay with Danny being back.  At the end you could tell that Isaac was upset his play calling was being questioned by us lowly serfs, and was likely on his way out of town.  Good for him being back in his beloved Big Ten with his Big Ten mind.  

I still think they need to utilize Javance in some packages if he's still on the team (honestly haven't even checked).  Watching Montana and Illinois State a bit last night, open the playbook and let's score the football.

Would be fine with either Danny or Gordie, but there’s a third option too… let it play out. Important, important decision upcoming …

As always, this place is....interesting.

A former gopher player is in the mix for the WR job.

Big things going down!

I have learned there are certain accounts on here I believe and trust and certain ones I ignore when this sort of messaging comes up.

I will just sit back and watch what happens. We'll know a lot more once spring ball starts.

Need to come up with a 4th down package that can mimic the success we had with Quincy.

This and better success in the red zone will go a long away.

The cannibalism on here can be a bit telling (and concerning).

Anyways, carry on. Big things happening and some will continue to be pissy regardless

didn't ndac win nattys with average wr's ...bc they could run the ball?

Yes but tough to mimic their clutch QB play, offensive line talent, strong defense and depth, so getting a few play makers at WR seems like the more realistic way this day and age, imo. Also seemed like they mostly had at least one very talented WR.

Interesting numbers.  Got into the red zone much more this past season but didn't convert enough, same rate as 2024.

Numbers show Isaac was 10-14% lower in TDs from Red Zone than Danny. Why? Was Quincy the diff? Or......

What's a good number for top 5 FCS teams??

These numbers confirm what most could see was happening: UND was far too inefficient in the red zone the last couple seasons under Fruechte. It cost them games. This should change under Freund.

I don’t think anyone was being “pissy”.

A more accurate description is probably, annoyed that you’re acting like you’re Adam Schefter. This is UND football we’re talking about. Just share what you know or don’t make cryptic posts. Pretty simple.
