2014 Season outlook-countdown

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

I think this team could be more talented than the 05 and the "undefeated" squad except for the line play...

a team with an outstanding line and decent skill players can often yield better results (at least long term) than a team with outstanding skill players and only a "decent" line.

Not saying that the '05 or '07 skill players were only "decent", nor that this year's line will only be "decent". Only that having a good line is important.

Is it just my imagination? Or did we have an unusually high number of red-shirts last year? I haven't counted, but it sure seems like there have been a ton as I've read through this thread.

I think just about every incoming freshman redshirts their first year in football (at UNI and most other D-I programs), and the true freshmen that actually see the field are the fairly rare exception.

I agree there seems to be quite a few RFr and Fr this year but that only means talent in the wings and ready for some playing time and gaining experience.

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

Thanks guys, I went and checked past rosters and it should read as a senior, and of course the Bio reads the same.

This is one loaded team. Now coaches, it time to do something!

I just read this year's Media Guide, and it lists Veeren as a JR. Are you guys sure he's a SR? Also, when do the first two deeps come out?

Re: 2014 Season outlook-countdown

Yes he is a senior. I went back to the 2010 UNI roster and he was listed as a Freshman QB and then he redshirted. In 2011 he played as a RFr, 2012 as a RSo, 2013 as a RJr, therefore he is a RSr this season. (I am not just reading his Bio from the webpage, that would be too easy. )

So if the media guide is wrong I would suggest that someone contact them and have the guide checked/fixed before to many of them are printed.

As far as the two deeps are concerned that is a good question. If someone could find them and post them that would be great...

GO PANTHERS!
