Re: Eli Dunne

Watched some of the broadcast of last night's game to see some of Dunne's throws.

What an arm. He put a couple balls 50 yards down field with the flick of his arm. Both right on the money.

Most impressive play of night though was when he got pressured from left side. Scrambled right and with a defender pulling him down he whipped ball 15 yards down sideline and hit Cunningham on the money. Few guys could do that.

That was incredible.

Still in that game until the final minute, they were ranked, at home ... and afterward, Barry Alverez said Wisconsin was done scheduling FCS teams.

Saywer was the real deal.

I believe we caught them on two wheel routes to DJ for TD's.

Big 10 LB's could not handle DJ.

If he had completed one of the deep balls he just missed on then he would have set the Dome passing record.

Not that I'm unhappy with Dunne at qb, but didn't Bailey come in last year after Kolmorgon was hurt lead us to 7 wins in nine games?

Check the completion he beat.

We all fell for that trap last year.

Re: Eli Dunne

this speaks volumes about the inability of our coaches to understand offensive football. They not only miscalculated this year, but for the last several years as they were clueless when it came to style best suited at UNI.

I wouldn't go quite as far as you did, and it's only been one game. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few games as teams scheme to stop it. But, you do raise a good point. It makes you wonder what they were thinking.

Re: Eli Dunne

I have no doubt that Eli was an improvement over Aaron, but how much of this was due to playing Missouri State.

Re: Eli Dunne

Oh what could have been with Sawyer transitioning into Dunne.

Could we dare say we would have had two or three of those NDSU championships in our case along with several deep playoff runs?

At least 1 for sure.

That's my point above. Let's see what happens against a better D with time/film to prep for. It sounds like an improvement, but expecting 400 yards and 60 points to be anywhere near the norm is nuts. There are still 11 guys playing on offense, not 1.

He deserved it. Great first start. Was 12-12 to start off the game.

I have heard somewhere that he has draftable skills, after all.

I wouldn't necessarily be turning over tables mad, but I'd be like, "Hey guys, I told you all along I can throw the @#$@ football!"
