Don’t forget Fornadel as well, leaving a true freshman to step up. And he’s done it well enough most probably didn’t realize a true freshman was filling in for possibly our top NFL prospect.

And yet, here we are. #1 ranked team in the nation. No losses. No excuses.
Time to take care of business NDSU couldn't manage to do. And we won't need 2 special teams TDs to win either.
They didn't get the name Soft Houston for no reason.

Da fuq?

Yeah, disregard that. That was a major gaffe. I meant Fornadel, who does NOT play center.

I've seen some good things, but I'm not quite at "that a boy Cig stage quite yet"

It's certainly still a question for me. And there is no one bigger position to fill than QB. I think "one" of Mickey's key downfalls was finding a good QB post Landers.

This year's defense is playing well. To me they don't seem as talented as last year's squad and certainly not as experienced - but they are well coached and improving.

I know Micky always said "this year's recruiting class is the best we've ever had", just like posters on here continue to say "this year's team is the most talented we've had" each year. If you don't agree with them it's like you're saying something negative, like last year's team was not ours too.
