2023 Depth Chart Talk

[HerdBot]

SDSU rushed for 283 yards in the championship game. (UIW rushed for 257 yards in the semifinal.)

If NDSU can cut that number in half, on November 4th, I think they will be fine.

SDSU is returning every starter on the o-line too. They will be phenomenal

[Bisman]

Yes they will be. The only offensive starter they lose is Tucker Kraft and they have Zach Heins to replace him. They have done an excellent job of recruiting.

We can say it until the cows come home, THEN what is stopping NDSU from doing the same? We were and perhaps still are the Gold Standard. If we have done substandard jobs in recruiting, then FIX it. Put the egos aside and take a hard look what has gone wrong. Didn't we used to have a Florida pipeline for example? Maybe we still do. I just have not been hearing about it. SDSU looked at us for their model on how to build and recruit. It is strange to see blue-clad football players on the victory platform by the way. Jarring actually.

As Lou Holtz said "the other schools give scholarships too".

NDSU's run of dominance lasted an incredibly and unnaturally long time. It was not sustainable. The good news is NDSU knows better than anyone else the formula to get back there but it also takes a fair amount of luck.

Standing along the barrier for both teams' walk up to the stadium on Sunday, it was pretty glaring the obvious size difference between NDSU and sdsu. We NEED to get back to recruiting truly big (read tall) boys, especially on the O and D lines, and trusting our staff to build them into men. As much as we have been QBU, we've also been tall TEU. No longer apparently.

Our D line is starting to look like ME. Give me 4 Nate Tanguays and 4 Cole Jirik's.

Plus, why fix something that wasn’t broken on Dline? If you can keep LBs (assuming decent size/speed) clean, that’s a recipe for a good run-D. A once-in-lifetime Travis Beck may show up too.

It’s like we became “them” and “they” became us, and passed us by.

ORIGINS of Entz and Braun is something called Winona State. It’s sometimes difficult to abandon your historical roots.

SDSU might be even better next season. Interesting that they're still looking to schedule their 11th game.

First team to beat us twice in same season since 94 I believe
