Hopefully he can really improve his passing this off-season.
    I hope the competition is very stiff, need to pass the ball at a 65% clip

    I believe the 3rd down percentage for both offense and defence will improve if for no other reason than we are exchanging Iowa and Charleston Southern for MVSU and Robert Morris. I dont put much stock in year to year stat comparisons for this reason. The schedule last year was impressive. Playing that level of competition has a significant effect on 3rd down efficiency on both sides of the ball.

    Go to the MVFC website and check the conference only stats. It's a good way to compare year to year stats. We were down in both offensive and defensive 3rd down conversion rate in conference play in 2016!

    You are correct. The conference 3rd down percentages were down. Conference standings however, remained the same. Glass half full.

    2016: NDSU converted 41.7% on 3rd down. Opponents converted 42.6%
    2015: NDSU converted 51.8% on 3rd down. Opponents converted 29.5%

    Let's hope 2016 was an aberration because the 2016 stats look like what I'd expect from a .500 team. 2015 looks like an undefeated conference champ.

    The white jerseys are the best. Don't even bother to argue.

    Potential regret for preseason #FCS Top 25? Northern Iowa, Albany ...

    Craig Haley‏ @CraigHaley 28m28 minutes ago
    I think SDSU @GoJacksFB is clear No. 3 for preseaso

    Craig Haley‏ @CraigHaley 28m28 minutes ago
    No right or wrong answer for preseason #FCS No. 1: @JMUFootball or @NDSUfootball. Most may say defending champs.
