Imo too much is being made of this. LittleJohn and Travis Beck were basically safeties as well. Maybe it’s execution and maybe the DL isn’t playing at the level we’re used to. I saw the line get blown backward a number of times Saturday. Saying a guy being 211 vs 225 as being the reason for our poor run defense seems overly simplistic but I could be wrong
Yeah I think it has way more to do with knowing your position then a size thing. If you know what your supposed to do you will be in position and playing faster. Seemed like the outside LB's were out of position way too much.
Our line play is definitely a big concern on both sides of the ball. SIU owned us in the trenches for the most part. That's alarming!

NDSU has its second player in two weeks enter the transfer portal in backup linebacker Juanye Tillman. Third-year sophomore played in three career games with four tackles.
What is going on within this team? Some of this happens, but timing seems odd.
another bad part of a Spring Season. once a few kids see they aren't playing they think "do i wanna sit here all spring, bust my ass all summer and then fall camp and still might not play?" F it. its Spring Time, I hitting the beach"
NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
