UND came out and did as most expected, they pounded a severely under-manned Valparaiso team 69-10 last Thursday night. We will take an objective look at the game and are going to focus on what we didn’t like vs. what we did. To be able to throw the ball and run the ball vs. Valpo…

The first Q&A we had earlier this year went very well and had a ton of great questions. Lets do it again right here. You can begin firing off your questions anytime and we will answer each of them to the best of our ability. Once again, all comments will be ‘approved’ before posting. So…
Ryan Bartels, a redshirt freshman from Sycamore, IL, was officially named the starter at quarterback for UND’s week 1 game vs. Valparaiso.

We’ve seen a bigger emphasis on an improved running game over the last couple practices. It appears that UND is trying to really work on getting it on track. They have been running out of a number of different schemes/formations. We said previously that it was at the top of the list for us as…
The UND Football team has officially completed 10 of their scheduled 29 practices before the home opener with Valpo. Now would be a good time to relay what we have seen and heard so far. There was a “live” short yardage session on Saturday that showed some things that need to be improved on, but…
