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…

The UND players report to camp August 1st and have their first official practice Saturday, August 3rd. Besides the signing of Juco DL Humberto Espinoza, UND also recently signed high school DL Delwaun…
Now that the 2013 Big Sky Kickoff is in the books we thought we might as well throw one more poll out there. For those that haven’t seen them yet, here are the official 2013 Big Sky Preseason Polls that were released earlier this week: Media Poll 1. Montana State (31) …………………………596 2. Eastern Washington…
Now that we are under 20 days away from the start of fall camp, we thought we would take a look at the Top 25 Preseason FCS Polls that have come out and evaluate the 2013 UND schedule based on these rankings. What we found was pretty impressive. The UND home schedule consists of 7…
