I’m going to give him a few games before I write him off. First game starting, playing in front of 35,000 people. It’ll slow down for him. In the games I saw of him last year (I know, mop up time) he was very physical and was able to get outside fairly quickly. That being said, if he does struggle against our next few opponents, I will begin to worry.

Yeah, speed picks up when you start making your reads faster. I remember when NDSU looked really slow on defense against Cal Poly one year. The next year, with the same personnel, they looked very, very fast.
Re: Butler Post Game Thoughts/Discussion
Hankey led the team with 8 tackles, not sure why he is being singled out. Frankly, I think Jabril had a quiet day, y'all worried about him too?

You’re a moron if you think the radio home of the Gophers would give NDSU publicity for this. Total conflict of interest.

He chased down a RB on a screen. Looked plenty fast on that play to me.
Re: Butler Post Game Thoughts/Discussion
Anybody else concerned about the lack of a pass rush? Our D line should have been able to get to Butler QB more often and at least make him look uncomfortable out there. This is non scholly Butler. Crap, the Bunny O-line, which might be as good as ours, will toss our d-line around if what I saw against Butler is an indication of our pass rush. Sorry if already discussed as I only read a few pages of this thread.

I was waiting for the sacks to start happening but they never did.

Sacks are generally a product of movement up front or by bringing extra bodies. It looked to me that we kept our defensive scheme pretty basic. Less tape of what Braun plans to do against more competent competition.
