2019 Season Thread

Or, the athletic department monitors PN and hears the rumblings.

Ive been described as a sinic in the past.

If ever there was a cynic on PN, it's me.

Given how long it would take to compile a 129 page media guide and do two years of input and edits it didn't just happen in the last couple weeks.

As I said - I'm thrilled what I had been told/heard was based off of old discussions that had been changed. This is a massive win for fans of the program, and for the athletic department. Kudos to everyone involved in it

[FOTY]

Great news

The conversations I had about the media guide last year have changed. I have received word there WILL be a media guide this year!

I'm very happy to have been wrong and to have passed on outdated information

Thanks for sharing - that is great news! Do you know if they have updated for the past couple years?

Looks like Lambert, Cuvelier and Flater at linebacker. We're going to be just fine there not that any of us really have defensive concerns with a Mark Farley team.

Kolarevic off the bench? He was doing really well until he got hurt last year.

Thought he was a real up and comer last year. Had the look of the next great lb at UNI in a long line of great ones.

His foot/ankle are still an issue. I've got a bad feeling given how long term certain foot/ankle things could be, he could be "down" for a while.

Unfortunately he played in 6 games last year, and with the redshirt his freshman year, so getting a medical to allow him to have another year to just fully heal/rehab is going to be a long shot.

However, like BC said, until he/if he doesn't come back that linebacking group is still really damn good.

I think that LB group is going to be really solid. My only real concern ever on that side of the ball is are we going to have a difference maker rushing the QB. We know about Ellerson Smith but we'll need someone else to step up as he's certainly going to get more attention this year without Ricky Neal on the other side.

With all the depth at WR do you think they are going to try and redshirt Wolf with the 4 game rule?

Hopefully we on Monday or Tuesday we get the game notes with a 2 deep.

I'll be in Ames...expecting the worst and hoping for the best.

It's McElvain.

I like it. Let's win some games.

[Blue42]

Farley's been dying to put McElvain on the field since last September.

Looking forward to next Saturday to see him and this offense.

[Purpledog]

Excited for the Season! Wow almost here! It is a wait and see for me on McElvain, still not sure he can throw downfield? and do not know if his “taking off to soon” habit will work against a team like ISU, so looking for O scheme to use, screens, and short wheel routes to ease him in, definitely hope the kid proves me wrong. He will have plenty of weapons!

We have QB. Lets roll.

Watching his high school highlights ,has a really strong arm and while he is certainly capable of making plays with his feet, it appears he prefers to just extend the play and keep his eyes downfield. Good quality to have in a young QB

[panther1]

McElvain had a walk-on spot from Iowa State on the table in high school. Flash forward two years and he will be starting his first college game at Jack Trice.

[Neighbor]

Anything to be learned watching Youngstown State and Bo Bo today?

[hamalot]

Didn't see too much to make me nervous. Qb took a few hits and was rubbing his throwing arm quite a bit. Little Rb is quick to find a hole. But it was just Samford. Not impressed with their D at all. Just my thoughts from 3gtrs i watched
