Picked up a brisket for the smoker. Trimmed it up and in a dry brine right now. Most of my pregame prep is complete.

When does it go in the smoker?

Friday night. Expecting it to take about 15 hours.

Do you use the Texas crutch or just straight smoke the whole way?

Just smoke. I don’t wrap anything.

Dry brine in salt for a couple days. Coat with coarse pepper just before going on the smoker, fat side down. And a water pan. Spray down with apple cider vinegar every couple hours. Take off at 203F. Let it rest for a. Hour or so.

Sounds fantastic. Long night of labor of love. Really dig the Apple cider spritzing.

I’m prepping tonight for colonoscopy first thing tomorrow. You’re killing me with all this brisket chatter.

Funny story. All this Mohler talk made me wonder what he's doing now. Apparently he's a QB coach for an athletic training academy. I can just imagine the first day.

JM: Hey kids, welcome to QB class. I'm your teacher, Jose Mohler

Kid: I saw you went to NDSU, how was that?

JM: It was great, had a lot of fun

Kid: They've won so many championships, what was that like?

JM: .......

Left Coast Athletix...he’s the founder. Proud of the dude for continuing to follow his passion.

I wouldn't bet on there being one.

Quick notes:

- Our schedule difficulty has been similar to this point. They have three notable games against Kansas St., Weber St. and UNI. Ours are Delaware (ranked now), SDSU, and UNI. Difference is we are 7-0 and they are 3-4 with similar SoS.

- We have a +25 point differential per game and they have a -2.4

- They avg 2.8 yards per rush and give up 4.2. Compared to our 5.9 and 2.9 respectively.

- Well yeah, but they are a passing team! They average roughly 300 yards passing per game, however our passing game is less frequent but more deadly. We average significantly more yards per attempt (+2 yards) and catch (+4 yards). For a team that is seemingly subpar against the run this sets up for some big receptions when they sell out against the run.

- Time of possession we have them beat by nearly 5 minutes a game. Kind of a result of the two types of offense but still noteworthy. Wearing them down in the second half seems a distinct possibility.

- We are +11 in Turnover margin and they are a very respectable +6. Only thing that sticks out is that they have caused a crazy amount of fumbles (16) and recovered 9. Ball security should be a major focus.

- They are getting 2 sacks a game but giving up 3. NDSU is getting 3 but only giving up 1. Get us a lead and hopefully we can let the DL pin their ears back.

- Their QB (Simmons) seems to spread the ball around pretty well. Falck and Allen are double the receptions of any others but a lot of people with double digit catches. For being a high volume passing team his completion % is pretty blah at 59%

- 2 headed running attack seems pretty average.


Run the ball down their throats to open up the down field passing. It looks like they will be one sided and with our pass rush and good secondary I think we can make it a difficult day for Simmons.

LAUGHABLE QUOTE> Kansas State and Delaware are similiar?? Preposturous statement alert!! NDSU schedule this year has been MUSH.

NDSU wins this 40-7 else I am disappointed
