The UND football team is back in the Alerus Center again this week taking on a familiar foe from last season. The #11 ranked Montana Grizzlies come to town with a 1-0 record after shellacking the #6 ranked Appalachian State Mountaineers 30-6 in the their season opener two weeks ago. The Griz were off last…
UND lost 35-28 on Saturday night in what turned out to be one heck of a college football game. UND was down as much as 28-7 at one point in the third quarter but stormed back and actually had a chance to tie it at the end of the game but were intercepted. Overall, UND…
The UND football team has a whole ‘nother animal coming to town this weekend. Last week UND pounded an inferior Valparaiso team 69-10 and left fans wondering how good UND really is. Well, they will find out soon enough. Old NCC rival South Dakota State is 1-0 on the season after also pounding a Pioneer…
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.

Overall, it appears the defense is playing pretty well. We are tempering our enthusiasm based on last year’s results but they seem to be playing at a quicker tempo, etc. It is also apparent they are starting to build the depth needed to compete at the FCS level but it will be an ongoing process….
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…
A few quick notes as the UND football team is now three practices into fall camp: Much-hyped WR J.J. Robertson is no longer with the team. The former University of Illinois commit participated in spring ball but never returned to the team due to academic issues. While we are talking academics, redshirt freshman WR Anthony…
