Pierre Strong was a 4th round draft pick.
Davis is gonna get an NFL shot.
Soon to be two time champs come calling with that recent track record at his position, and can cite the unknown of a new coach in Fargo and point to a bunch of QB runs with no featured back for the past several years.
Hope he enjoys Brookings........also hope he goes winless against the Bison and never gets to call himself a champion.
Chris Klieman was hired by KState in December of 2018.
So of the current all-conference types, Cam Miller & Cole Wisniewski & lots of the others - Grey Zabel & Mason Miller & RaJa Nelson & Joe Stoffel etc. Or if you think Cole Payton should be starting, there’s another one.
…now if you want to say Entz & Co did not play underclassmen…there ya go
Green & Jaquise Alexander & Kopp started but off the top of my head can’t think of any other starters.
I mean pretty easy decommit if you ask me. Here's likely how the conversation went:
SDSU: "hey woods, you realize that if you go to NDSU you will have to split carries with 4 other running backs, get the ball handed off to you 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage in shotgun formation. Not to mention they also run their QB like 20 times a game. If you come here, you can be a feature back and we will actually utilize your potential."
Our offensive scheme did nothing to help get Woods here and the coaches need to own up to that.
Our "feature back" got 124 carries on the season and was 2nd to Cam with 135 carries. That's an average of less than 9 carries per game. RBs got 54% of the total carries.
I don't blame the kid for flipping. I hate his choice of school though.
North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.Bob Lutz, The Wichita Eagle, August 30th, 2013
