Butler Post Game Thoughts/Discussion
1) Not sold on Trey Lance. 10-11? 100 yards rushing and 6 td's? Maybe that'd be acceptable against UNI or SDSU but this was Butler. There's absolutely no reason he couldn't have been been 12-12 with 200 yards rushing and 9 td's. But hey, he's a Freshman he'll grow into the role. I hope. /p
2) In seriousness Trey is bigger than I remember him being last year. Really impressive presence in the pocket and on the move. Impressive accuracy as well.
3) Running backs look to be by committee again which is probably best given the diversity of talent this year. I'd like to see Clarke get more first team carries.
4) How about Sproles? That deep route was a thing of beauty. I hope to see a lot more of it.
5) Nice pick by Hendricks. Not a lot to say on defense but they look as solid as ever. Any update on Jasir Cox?
6) Thank God for football season.

This team will win MINIMUM 3 Natties under Lance. He will win 55+ games. NDSU will have 13 years of top tier FCS QB talent.

Trey picked right up where Easton left off. Incredible. Gotta wonder what Gopher fans in attendance thought.

Kobe Johnson looks good for #5 RB

All of the intangibles are there. I have to imagine there are some Valley defenses that will give him some trickier looks and make him grow a little. But man you could not ask for more that what he did today for a first game.
Re: Butler Post Game Thoughts/Discussion
Lots of big plays on offense and we lost TOP, which had been pretty rare over the years. Defense pursued really well and plenty of studs on D. Liked what we saw from both CBs. Trey Lance is the mother fucking MAN! Wow!!
Re: Butler Post Game Thoughts/Discussion
Today’s game showed that Trey’s play during two games last year weren’t an aberration. I’m happily impressed.

Re: Butler Post Game Thoughts/Discussion
My takeaway is that we played Butler and it's great to get excited about stats and performances, but let's hold off until after the UND game
Re: Butler Post Game Thoughts/Discussion
Hope the injuries to Jasir and Reinholz aren't serious.
