Have to imagine that Leitner=Wentz if he had been a Bison, will be somewhere in the PST tournament next year especially if Carson ends up doing well wherever he ends up in some form. He also mentioned that he lost twice last year and didn't even play the whole year line too. Well one loss I still fully blame the broken wrist that was unknown. I'm almost positive if the coaching staff had plugged in Stick the 2nd half we'd beat USD. The first loss to Montana I think we can say is a wash due to new system new coach no tape. We absolutely mauled them in the playoffs.
I would say many players have benefitted from the system, but so many players have gone on to successful NFL careers. Obviously none to the level of Wentz is expected at this point. If Wentz can live up to some of the hype it bodes well for NDSU and our "system". And Tommy's Gophers better take note. When was the last time a Gopher was taken in the top 5 or even top 10? Is Laurence Maroney their highest pick? He's the only one I can think of in the first round but don't know what pick he was?
He qualified that he hated the Bison in the sense that they beat him both times he played against them but held us in a pretty high respect for NDSU so can live with that. Understand that the "hate" is a competitive thing.
