Highly Sought-After Teiken Commits To UND

Posted on June 23, 2021 by

To say recruiting in the upper midwest is a battle would be an understatement. There are six FCS schools in a four-state region and most all of them are among the best programs in the country. Typically they all covet the same players. The Hawks pulled of a major recruiting win against those FCS foes

Kelzenberg Becomes First 2022 Commit

Posted on June 21, 2021 by 2 Comments

The UND offensive line has been in a transformation stage over the past two seasons. Joe Pawlak arrived and immediately wanted to put his stamp on his unit and more importantly improve a stagnant rushing attack. The improvement was quite noticeable this past spring and it’s only fitting the first commitment to the 2022 class

We have entered the era of free agency in college football and rosters will be overhauled like never before. That much is certain. Some schools will go to the extreme, like Missouri State, others will do some minor tweaking, like UND. For the old guard it is bordering on sacrilegious to leave your school, for

I had a feeling this one was going to be one-sided. I just didn’t know that it would be that one-sided. The Hawks, as we predicted on the pregame podcast, showed no signs of rust after having not played for over a month. The end result was a 44-10 blowout of Missouri State and a

To be honest, things were going a little too good for the Hawks lately. They were 4-0 and had beaten several high-quality teams without being exposed much at all. That changed on Saturday when they headed back down to the Fargodome and got ran over by the Bison to the tune of 316 rushing yards.
