Biggest ? going into 2016 season.

[BadlandsBison]

I'd say the whole secondary is the biggest question mark.

Since I'm destined to be completely wrong, what's the opposite of that? Offensive line?

Or, wait to see position Kolpack and Izzo say is the deepest in NDSU's DI history and pick that.

We'll be alright in the secondary. We'll see some progression like last season. I actually think there will be more takeaways on defense than last season

Corner is easily #1
Kicking game will be fine. Cam will improve. Punting will be worse but still decent.
Between Stick and LT it's probably a wash. It's tough to pass if you don't have protection. We don't do a lot of deep 5 step drop passes (lots of short stuff) so I'm not quite as concerned about LT since we have a bunch of guys who can run block and Colin Connor is one of them.

Stick was fine, heck he only missed the title game where I think he comes away with a win.

Stick scared me quite a bit in the semi-final game. His sideline out pattern throws were weak, poorly timed and lacked velocity. If Richmond had decent CBs there could have been four pick sixes, as it was they got their hands in there to knock all four of them down. If he throws a ball like that in Desmond King's area against Iowa he will take it to the house.

Shutdown LT > Shutdown CB, JMHO.

Hopefully we find both.

the front seven will help the young secondary......enough said!

Replacing the NFL caliber Punter.

not even close- CB. Remember the Montana game week 1 where CJ missed the game and what happened they passed at will. Our #2 CB needed help all season (nothing against Jordan) but he was average and he was the 2nd best on the team. Because CJ was so good he was picked on. Finding a replacement for both is very scary in my opinion.

Biggest question is how many games will the starters still be playing after the 3rd quarter when we are up by 28 points.

Exactly. We've had a secondary that was the class of FCS the past few years, but having a dominant D line really helps. Don't need to be an all american corner to cover someone for less than three seconds

I dont think velocity was his problem on out patterns. Kids got an arm. He waited too long to throw them. Just needs some reps to get the timing down. It's a tough throw to make but even Brock Jensen didnt make those thows his first year but he became really really good at them.

I think Stick will make some serious strides this year. Kid went 8-0 as a starter and has gotten a ton of practice time
