Maybe we should actually see them play first before being concerned.

Someone needs to become a leader of the defense and it needs to happen fast.
Ding ding ding we have a winner.

If tackling doesn't improve drastically this year I'm going to lose what's left of my hair bro.

Our defense was not championship caliber last year and we lost a lot of key players, especially in the secondary. Watching them play that brutally tough early portion of the schedule probably isn't going to tell us much as it relates to beating the bunnies.

I agree, the defense is a big concern and so is the offense. Not impressed with Cam until he puts the team on his back and delivers a close game victory against a tough opponent. That terrible game against Incarnate Word last year makes me doubt his abilities. Like to see Cole Peyton play an entire game.

One of the biggest areas of decline with NDSU football is coaching and recruiting. If anyone here thinks these are not issues then they are viewing through green and gold goggles!

I am wary of this as well, but I’m not sure we can say we have officially declined until a few more years have passed. This roster will be the first year where most of the recruits are Entz’s…
Also, transfer portal is an interesting wrinkle that complicates recruiting classes and kinda muddies the water of Entz’s responsibility over the whole deal.
I’m incline to agree with you, I’m just trying to remain hopeful for a few more years. If we get through the 2025 season and we haven’t won any other chipper, I’d start to worry…

We have no clue about the recruiting at this point. Entzs recruits havent been playing yet because of all the upperclassmen and COVID seniors. My god. If they struggle this year then yes, let the debate begin. But to make that judgement before they have even seen the field. Smh

The Bunnies are number 1, and they earned it.
I can't fucking WAIT to take back that rock.

Doubt you will be the one taking back the rock and you may be waiting for awhile to see the NDSU football team do it.
