SiouxMeNow Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Haven't seen this linked yet in this thread: Chappell status will remain mystery Bakken's view is: Read the last line of the blog then read the comments...hilarious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoHawks! Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I don't think we will see Ryan C. against GVSU. Like Ryan Bakken says, UND is going to be tight lipped about his status this week so GVSU has a hardtime gameplanning. Dale Lennon will turn into Brad Childress this week. I am not too optimistic that Ryan will play if he has a high ankle sprain, for those of you who have had that injury, you know how bad it sucks, especially for a speed guy like Ryan.

UND92,96 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Then we should be set to run it down their throat with Battle I'm telling ya, if you want to go to a power running game, this is your guy. According to the depth chart on the last game notes, he's actually 220, and he's pretty fast, too. 1,700-plus yards rushing as a senior on GFC's state title winning team a couple of years ago.

Lennon turn into Childress? We are in trouble! Does that mean we can expect 2 yard out passes on 3rd and 8. If Chappell was 100% healthy, he would only get 9 or 10 touches under the secret squirrel. Pound Battle at them 20-25 times and find a way to get Weston 15- 20 touches(runs and catches) and we will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty - UNO Fan Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Why can't Sorbo get some carries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mksioux Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Why can't Sorbo get some carries? I'm sure he can and maybe he will, but having carried the ball only twice this year for 3 yards, I wouldn't have too high of expectations for him.

siouxkid12 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Saw Ryan C in class today and it didnt look like he had any trouble moving around, he walked around like nothing was wrong. That being said it might not hurt when you walk but when you run it could be a different story. I think Ryan C will be playing this weekend even if he still has a little bit of pain.

Woden Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I just looked at their season stats, and somewhat surprisingly, they're giving up 157 yards rushing per game, compared to just 132 yards passing. Of course, it's probably tough to know how much those numbers really mean given the relatively weak competition they've played this year. From what I've been told, three of the four starters in their secondary are Big 10 transfers. Not that that always means something, but just food for thought.

Not that that always means something, but just food for thought. I quickly checked their roster, and the only Big Ten transfer I could find at db was Samad Cain (Minnesota). I believe they do have a pretty experienced secondary, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGame Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 The Stud in the GV secondary is Brandon Carr, he will very likely get drafted or at least have an NFL tryout. I think the UND defense needs to not give up any big plays to the GV running game and stop the fade. If UND can do that they will have a good shot at winning the game. That's also assuming Chappel plays and we have some success running the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 i think we have tricks up our sleeve So the rumors of Diggler and PCM filling in for Chappell and Tibesar are true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCM Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 So the rumors of Diggler and PCM filling in for Chappell and Tibesar are true? Jim "Cannonball" Butler move over. Pat "Butterball" Miller is about to make college football history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bison fan north of GF Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 When healthy what is Chappels speed in the 40?? Dresslers??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND92,96 Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 When healthy what is Chappels speed in the 40?? Dresslers??? According to the UND media guide, Chappell was timed at 4.42, and Dressler 4.44. I suspect those are hand times rather than electronic times, but I don't really know exactly how they do their testing in the spring.
