Longer term thoughts about NDSU game

Re: Longer term thoughts about NDSU game

Rennie is going to be a good QB for us. He has great potential to improve. I agree with farley who gave him a B- on saturday. B- but with great potential and excitement. I thought he had some great passes and has a killer arm. He overthrew some long passes. I think he will get a chnace to throw more as we play more games of course. Time will tell but he avoided the picks and seemed to pick up the defense well and make good decisions. Maybe he could stand in the pocket a little longer but maybe with his speed he needs to keep moving?

He also seemed like a leader who was in charge of the team. I liked that from a transfer QB who is now a full blooded panther as of saturday.

Go Rennie

THAT IS THE ACCURACY THING he overshot recievers by 5 yards a couple of times. The only thing that he has got is speed. He WILL be blown up by good D1 defenses.

Just like Denard was going to against ND right?

Just like Carlos was going to right?

Dude is a D1 athlete, getting blown up won't happen. I think there was 2 or 3 drops in the game. He threw for 176, and more wasn't needed. It was his first start. I'll wait until I call him a bust, or the next Armanti.

he didn't hit a wide reciever in the endzone after the cornerback fell down. wide recievers standing there and balls were being thrown 3 feet in front of them and hitting the ground.

Are you talking about the play to Josh Collins? Collins thought he was close to being out of bounds and tried to tip toe the line and catch the ball even though he was a good 2-3 feet in bounds. The pass was fine, its just unfortunate that Collins didn't realize he had room. If it's a different play, remember Rennie is in his first D1 game and while he missed a couple of recievers, he played well behind an inexperienced line.

Looking at all of your previous posts, it seems you are either a friend of Davis or a family member because most of them deal with how Davis would be leading UNI to 2 National Champioships. I understand you are upset, but the coaches will play who they think will give them the best chance to win, and the last two years it hasn't been ZD and this year it doesn't appear it will be him either. As someone said before this is not new or unique to Zach Davis, its the way athletics above the junior high level are.

Rennie will be fine.

Literally, every single post he has made has been about ZD, and how he is the second coming of Elway.

he is like Jordan's spanish moon.

Although Spanish moon has grown on me this panther4year person not so much.

I think Rennie needs a spanish moon. Any takers?

Again, you do realize that Collins had another 2 steps or to so make that catch? He takes those steps he makes it, instead he pulled a tiptop with another yard and a half to spare.

Collins doesn't make mistakes. EVER.

Re: Longer term thoughts about NDSU game

That was a perfect touch pass to Collins. Chalk it up to first game and also just being human. Rennie is a stud, but that doesn't mean that ZD is not. I think ZD is also a stud, but it just so happens that Rennie is getting his chance right now.

Re: Longer term thoughts about NDSU game

They points UNI left on the field IMO was not the QBs fault. It was the WR's, RB, and the PK. Funny think is the guys that have been around are the ones that messed up the scoring chances.

Re: Longer term thoughts about NDSU game

I am a huge Josh Collins guy but that play in the endzone was on Collins not Rennie. Josh stopped about a foot shy of the out-of-bounds line.

I'm chalking up some of the passing and instinct to pull down and run to Rennie's first game jitters. Going into the game, I really thought Davis would be the guy but clearly Rennie brings another dimension to the game. What would be worse to have Rennie tuck and run or start chucking bad passes all over the field. Personally, you can't ask for much more on a first outing.

Re: Longer term thoughts about NDSU game

First of all, I want to caution that I haven't played FB since I was this high. That said, with all of the uncertainty surrounding both lines, starting QB, etc., I was overall pleased with what happened on Saturday.

The coaches and players are certainly focusing in on the game tape on things to improve for SFA and later. I am starting this thread with the idea of longer term look at what was accomplished. I am doing this in light of my view of entering the NDSU game last year.

Last year, I was one of the people that thought UNI would score at will on the Bison, based on the games leading up to that point. After a hard fought game with a Bison team that was not very good, I had an internal "uh-oh" moment about the remainder of the season.

One of the long term impacts of this game is that UNI is officially inside Jose Mohler's head. As he is a true Sophomore, he has two more goes at UNI. This game will be haunting him for years to come.

Next, based on the blowback from this game, if NDSU can afford it, I believe that Bohl will be gone after this year unless he makes the playoffs. I can't see a 7-4 season including a KU win making the grade. The entire "NDSU has the talent, facilities, and history" thing being taken to heart. If he stays, I think UNI has gotten into Bohl's head also.

Third, the NDSU v UNI rivalry is going to turn into annual dog fight. NDSU players & coaches apparently have UNI & SDSU games circled for this year. NDSU seems to think UNI is disrespecting NDSU's past accomplishments. UNI generally thinks NDSU needs to earn their respect at this level. Seems to be a self reinforcing cycle. The outcomes on the scoreboard may not change, but it will be an emotionally pitched game for years to come.

Last, this three year run against NDSU is going to positively reflect on recruiting in the Twin Cities. Both UNI & NDSU look to the Minneapolis area for recruits. Continuously beating NDSU is going to have a reinforcing effect, allowing us to get the better choice of recruits from the Minneapolis area.

Anyone see it differently?

I might disagree with you about Bohl's future. They are lucky to have him. In fact, I think Minnesota made a huge mistake not taking him and hiring Brewster. When the University of Minneapolis wakes up and hires someone who builds from the inside out, they can restore their program. They will have to lose the Administrative arrogance, first.

Bohl is a good coach playing in a tough conference. How long do you suppose it took him to say "Oh, shxt." last week. I bet he said it before I did. The difference is: I said it with an excited tone! Man, we are fast. When we develop consistency...watch out.
